Whitney House for Women

Summit Care and Wellness is currently not providing housing for women.  We apoligize for any inconvenience.

The Whitney House for Women was established through Summit Care and Wellness to offer women in recovery a safe and affordable, substance-free environment to pursue life goals compatible with sobriety. The Whitney House provides transitional living for women who have successfully completed an alcohol/drug treatment program and/or for women who have chosen to live a clean and sober lifestyle and actively pursuing recovery.

It’s our desire that you don’t face your recovery and the challenges along the path alone. Instead, we want to provide a caring community with others who know exactly what you’re going through. The Whitney House supports an environment where women can experience growth and restoration in all areas of life, including mental, physical, emotional and spiritual as you transition back into the community.

The Whitney House provides a family-oriented, home environment where women share their experience, strength and hope. Centrally located near downtown Lincoln, the house is convenient to retail and dining establishments, social services, and two major bus routes. It is also within walking distance to many Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

The Program Directors of Whitney House are certified and licensed counsellors who understand the nature and course of addictions. A traditional Twelve Step approach is the core for programming and Whitney House is affiliated with Summit Care and Wellness. Individuals are accepted into Whitney House by means of referral from treatment programs, organizations/institutions and other professionals. Initial contact is made by phone, in writing or through email. Screening criteria includes questions about the individual’s alcohol/drug history, treatment history and present commitment to recovery. Requirements and expectations for individuals who are considering applying to Whitney House are available upon request.
