About Us

Why Choose Our Mental Health and Substance Use Recovery Programs?

At Community Alliance, you come first…because we have a heritage of being first.

We were the first free-standing community agency in Nebraska to go beyond traditional clinical treatment and therapy to concentrate on what people experiencing mental health and substance use disorders need to live, work, and thrive at home and in the community.

As a mental health and substance use nonprofit, we are proud of our many milestones:

• First in Omaha to embed a primary health clinic within our mental health center.
• First to expand services for individuals facing unemployment, homelessness, or incarceration alongside mental health needs.
• Provider of first-tier services based on nationally recognized, evidence-based practices (EBP).

As a result, we are often the first call for help for those seeking a comprehensive substance use recovery program in metro Omaha, surrounding counties, and anywhere within a 45-mile radius.

Rooted in the Community

Our passion lies in helping people overcome the mental health and substance use challenges they are facing so they can thrive in the community. We started as a local grassroots organization in 1981, and each of our services was born by answering a call for help. When we see a need, we get to work, often partnering with others to meet that need. The result is continued growth, innovation, responsiveness, and results for the men, women, youth, and families we serve in the metro Omaha area and surrounding counties, including Douglas, Dodge, Cass, Washington, and Sarpy counties, as well as anywhere within a 45-mile radius of our main facility at 7150 Arbor Street in Omaha.

Providing Comprehensive, Whole-Person Care

Our model of integrated health offers a more complete path toward recovery. An integrated approach addresses the health of the whole person — incorporating physical, mental, and social well-being. At Community Alliance, primary care providers work in concert with behavioral healthcare professionals to offer an array of mental health, medical care, and community services in order to coordinate a greater level of care. It’s a collaborative effort that delivers positive, measurable outcomes.

By aligning with Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) philosophies, our focus is to help restore a sense of hope and purpose that allows the people we serve to achieve their unique potential and to live, work, learn and contribute in a community of mutual support.

Thinking Forward

It’s a new era for mental health agencies, as we evolve to address changes in the field while continuing to serve people who need our help. We do this through innovation, focusing on measurable results, and embracing new approaches, such as the national Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) standards, which have been shown to make a difference. We keep up with best practices, provide clinical expertise, and offer practical skills mixed with a strong dose of compassion from our dedicated staff. We are constantly expanding our partnerships with volunteers and supporters who share our same focus and belief in recovery.

Mental Health Advocacy and Stigma Reduction

We work to erase the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders, and we advocate at the local, state and national levels for greater access to the life-restoring and life-saving services and policy changes needed to make help and healing possible. This work takes a community — and it demands alliance. We are Community Alliance.
