At Community Alliance, we understand that for some, the challenges posed by mental health and substance use conditions often go beyond the need for clinical treatment. That is why we offer an array of community services for recovery to help individuals meet basic needs, connect with resources, and obtain the skills and stamina integral to the recovery process. These include services for those living with serious mental illness, individuals experiencing homelessness, individuals whose employment or education has been interrupted, and those involved with the justice system and reentry into community life. Additionally, in Fremont, Nebraska we offer assessments, employment services, and community services for recovery.
