Community Alliance

Access to safe housing and community support can be the key to long-term recovery. Our Residential Rehabilitation program provides supervised support for individuals who need more time and support to recover from an acute episode of mental illness. Community Alliance residences are located in neighborhoods throughout the Omaha area, where participants resume many of the roles and responsibilities associated with the next steps toward independence and recovery, including paying rent, sharing in household tasks and connecting with community resources. Participants enjoy the privacy of their own bedrooms while benefiting from a sense of community. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gaygfw4F.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. If you or a loved one are experiencing thoughts of suicide or emotional distress, you’re not alone. The 988 Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support, prevention and crisis resources. Call or text 988, or chat with someone at 988lifeline.org.

September is National Recovery Month, an annual observance to emphasize the importance of behavioral health care, support people who are working toward recovery and champion the dedicated service providers who make recovery possible. At Community Alliance, we serve people holistically so that all aspects of their care, from mental to physical to social well-being, are working together toward sustained wellness. And we serve you with dignity, respect and admiration — because the path to recovery takes courage.

Community Alliance’s Center for Mental Health is intentionally designed to support the journeys of those we serve toward recovery, from its layout and architecture to the artwork adorning its walls — including pieces by Brad Hoefs, a pastor, a painter, a state-certified peer support specialist and someone who has dealt with his own mental health obstacles. Brad met with 11 people we've served to bring their individual stories of recovery to life through expressive, abstract art for our new building. Learn more about his empathetic process and impactful paintings in our latest blog at https://lnkd.in/e4uR83Cy.

Did you know we offer an on-site, full-service pharmacy? It’s one more way we're working to be a comprehensive resource for the people we serve and their families. Pharmacy services at Community Alliance are provided thanks to a partnership with Genoa Healthcare, a company that specializes in working with mental health agencies. Our pharmacy can fill mental health prescriptions, answer insurance questions and dispense medications in packaging that's easier to take. We also accept prescription transfers from other pharmacies. On-site pharmacy services, at our 7150 Arbor Street location, are open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The road to healing and wellness isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to travel it alone. Our integrated care approach supports mental and physical health, while our education programs and expert staff provide tools for how to maintain and thrive in your recovery, purpose and quality of life. We’re here to listen, learn and provide holistic care and resources, wherever you are in your journey to recovery.

Staying connected to our community is one of Community Alliance’s core values. Community Well, our monthly e-newsletter, features insights from our expert staff and news and updates from Community Alliance. Sign up today at https://lnkd.in/e4uR83Cy.

Improving and supporting your mental health requires building healthy habits that contribute to overall wellness. Occupational wellness — one of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness — involves participating in activities that provide meaning and purpose, including employment. Our Employment Services program helps participants find job opportunities that match their skills and interests, develop resumes and complete applications, prepare for interviews and navigate the workplace. Our expert staff are connected to employers across the metro area and beyond. We can help you find and keep a job that provides a sense of well-being and satisfaction.

Supportive family and friends play a crucial role in their loved one’s path to recovery. Family and friends often wonder how they can help, and how to cope with the effects of caring for someone living with a mental illness or substance use disorder. At Community Alliance, we are committed to providing families and friends with the help and support they need — and deserve — as they walk alongside their loved ones.
