The Alpha House of Springfield Doorway to a new beginning…
Alpha House is a residential treatment/transitional facility for federal offenders. Alpha House has operated continuously since 1972. The Alpha House staff and board of directors feel it is important to assist persons released from prison in their transition from incarceration back into the community.
The main emphasis in this program is teaching the residents that they are responsible for themselves. The residents need to accept the rewards for their positive decisions as well as the consequences of negative behavior. They are hopefully instilled with the belief that they have the power to choose the type of life they will be living as they return to the community. |

The emphasis is “positive responsibility…” The primary goal of Alpha House is to provide residents with the atmosphere and structure that is needed to make a positive adjustment to the community. All residents assigned to Alpha House are involved in extensive work and living skills programs. Residents seek employment and are required to save a portion of their earnings. These savings enable the resident to obtain a residence and reestablish themselves in the community.
The Alpha House population… Residents are normally adults from the southwest region of Missouri. Residents are received from the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Federal Probation Office.
