About Sheepgate – Omaha
Sheepgate formerly Teen Challenge of the Midlands – Crisis is a transitional home in Omaha, Nebraska. It’s part of the larger Sheepgate addiction recovery program, which used to be called Teen Challenge of the Midlands. Sheepgate is a Christian faith based treatment program for drug and alcohol addiction, and this Omaha transitional home is part of its program for adult men.
Here’s how it works. If you’re a man who has chosen Sheepgate for help with your substance use disorder, you’ll have a seven month program in Colfax, Iowa. This is a residential rehab program so you’ll live on the property while you get therapy, learn about addiction, and develop relapse prevention skills.
After those seven months, you’ll move to this transitional home in Omaha. It’s a beautiful and comfortable historical home where you’ll live with others in your program. Some call this type of facility a sober living home. Either way, the goal is to help you transition from rehab into independent sober life. Sheepgate calls this your re-entry period. At this Omaha center, you’ll have a structured living environment while you gather the puzzle pieces of your new life, like getting involved in a local church, finding a full-time job, and getting used to being in society again.
As helpful as rehab is, it can be jarring to go from a setting where you’re surrounded by recovery back to the hustle and bustle of society. A place like Sheepgate’s Omaha transitional home can make that transition easier and safer for your sobriety.
