About Siena Francis House – Omaha
Siena Francis House provides shelter for the homeless and support for those struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. They’re one of Nebraska’s leading providers of services for people experiencing homelessness. They also operate a residential substance use treatment — the Miracles Addiction Treatment and Recovery.
This program is housed in the Baright Building at their emergency shelter in Omaha, Nebraska. This 80 bed facility offers free residential treatment to the socially disadvantaged. This includes homeless individuals with substance use disorders, those involved with the judicial system, and individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders.
They provide gender specific care for men and women over 19. There are 48 beds for men and 32 beds for women. The program is state certified and CARF accredited indicating commitment to quality care. They accept referrals from community corrections and other addiction treatment providers.
Voluntary clients are also acceptable. They use the 12 step models to deliver individualized treatment that is trauma focused. So they encourage peer support and involvement with the local 12 step community. This may include sponsorship, meeting attendance and participation in other educational/social activities.
You’ll undergo a biopsychosocial assessment upon intake to help the recovery personnel craft personalized treatment plans for you. While in the program you’ll participate in individual and group counseling sessions. This enables you to address personal issues fueling your behavioral challenges and build sound coping skills.
The group therapy cuts across various recovery aspects. There are anger management, relapse prevention and a 12 step model group. Some others include co-occurring disorders, trauma and safety as well as mindfulness groups. You can enroll in the group that best satisfies your recovery needs in line with your treatment planning.
You’ll also be enrolled in onsite vocational counseling, education and service opportunities/assignments. The vocational program cuts across diverse areas including pickup/delivery, vehicle maintenance and food services. This can be a way to develop technical and interpersonal skills that prepare you for gainful employment post-treatment.
They also offer case management services. Your case manager will help you identify stable housing through housing education and connect you to community services like medical care. Aftercare support is available upon successful discharge.
