Treatment

Alcoholism

Alcoholism is typically characterized by an inability to control alcohol consumption, withdrawal symptoms when drinking stops, and impairment in the ability to socialize and work. Recovering from alcohol addiction is a long process that begins with alcohol rehab in Nebraska. It requires applying techniques that are learned through evidence-based counseling, mutual-support groups, and other related therapies.

Drug Addiction

During drug rehab in Nebraska, you’ll participate in therapies that address the many issues that contribute to addiction. Treatment includes physical, mental, emotional, and relational aspects. These methods provide the tools you need to achieve long-term recovery.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

In Nebraska, substance abuse treatment programs are available to individuals struggling with addiction, and those with co-occurring mental health disorders. These programs utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Sober Living Homes

A sober living home in Nebraska offers an in-between place for recovery as individuals transition from inpatient care to home. Residents must pay rent and contribute to costs of living. Typically, insurance does not cover this housing expense. However, ongoing treatment received while living at a men’s or women’s sober living home, such as counseling or other outpatient treatment, may be covered.

24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it’s important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour support offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, easing the transition between residential substance abuse treatment and re-entry into society.

12-Step

12 step programs are based on a treatment model combining peer support with personal growth. The 12 steps of recovery deploy spiritual principles to promote participants’ psychological and emotional healing, enabling them to identify and address the origins of their addiction, accept responsibility for their life choices, and relinquish control over that which cannot be changed. Religious affiliation is not required, and most meetings are non-denominational, though some formats, such as Celebrate Recovery! are rooted in Biblical principles.

Clinical Services

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
