They care more about the paychecks than the welfare of the patients, the emergency room is a real shame, the waiting times are eternal, they forced me to spend hours suffering pain without any medical attention.
About Mary Lanning Healthcare
Mary Lanning Healthcare is a facility in the small town of Hastings, Nebraska, that provides healthcare services. Individuals who are struggling with addiction can receive psychiatric treatment to help with their recovery. The facility accepts Medicard, Medicare and other commercial insurance options.
Psychiatric Medication to Support Addiction Recovery
Psychiatric medications can be effective for treating mental health conditions that may be contributing to your addiction. Your psychiatrist may prescribe antidepressants or mood stabilizers to help with mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety.
They will conduct an evaluation to decide on the medication and the dosage that will be best for your needs. With relief from your symptoms, you can be less likely to relapse.
Helpful Therapeutic Approaches in Counseling
Along with medication, psychiatrists can use talk therapy to address both your mental health and substance use disorder. Some therapeutic approaches that may be used in your treatment sessions include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and motivational interviewing.
CBT and DBT will teach you methods for coping with your relapse triggers. Some coping mechanisms you’ll learn may include progress muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness. Your psychiatrist will also focus on understanding the underlying issues that are contributing to your substance use disorder.

Neither insurance nor VA were billed until it was too late to be billed. The hospital had my insurance and in the words of the staff that I talked to, and have written evidence of they “just didn’t know how to file a claim with my out of network insurance” yet I was able to get with my insurance and the VA and complete half the process for them having 0 medical billing experience. Unfortunately it was outside the billing window so now I get to deal with it. Now I have to ruin my credit that I spent a decade to rebuild and get to live pay check to pay check to pay for an ER visit because I’m being sued for a bill that I would have paid pennies to dollars on after insurance or VA all because they couldn’t be bothered to submit a claim to two separate entities both of which had been contacted and expecting the claim within days of my ER the visit.
The kicker is THEY gave my insurance to a third party radiologist who had no issues filing a claim with my insurance company and received their payment.
I received a bottle of soap to wash out my road rash on my own (from a motorcycle crash), some morphine to help with the pain, and a fat bill that they failed to file.
The bill is small enough that proving they are at fault is as if not more expensive than just paying the bill. I’m now financially crippled for the next 2-3 years due to their failure to file the claim in a timely manner, again to two separate entities.

Sorry to see you left us a one-star review. Please let us know if you would like to speak. to a representative.
We were seen in the emergency room on March 24th for our 9 month old son. They ran all necessary test to help us figure out what was wrong with our son. They listened to us. We were admitted and our dr is dr Leonard and he is beyond amazing. The nursing staff on the 4th floor first and second shift are great. They answer the call light within a good reasonable time. I would recommend this hospital. Thank you so much fourth floor nursing team, ER staff and dietary.

Thank you for your positive review!
We had our daughter in November 2025, the nursing staff was amazing, but I feel bad for them that they have to deal with some self-centered Doctors. They were trying to force me and my child to stay longer when child and I had no problems. Now fast forward to getting my child's social security card low and behold they spelt her name wrong, so requested a birth certificate to be able to correct it and that was wrong also. We contacted Mary Lanning for THEIR mistake not ours. Their excuse was we weren't there to confirm the spelling when we were there till evening the next day, I guess they don't work in their offices on the weekends. Her name was clearly written on the paperwork correctly. Now it is January of 2026, and they still have not sent paperwork into vital records to correct the problem. I don't even want to rate them when staff is great, but administration is a joke. I am tired of being told the person I or my husband needs to talk to is never in her office and when you leave a message she never calls back.

Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
When loved ones stage a drug intervention in Nebraska, the goal is not to gang up on the individual and make them feel attacked. The aim is to make them feel cared for and to present a solid plan for getting them the treatment they need. This process often includes intervention services. These professionals can provide support for planning and carrying out the intervention and guidance for appropriate treatment for the individual and family members.
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
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.
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.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Within trauma therapy, you're able to work through the memories of a traumatic event within a safe and supportive environment. Your therapist will guide you to develop healthy coping mechanisms that reduce the emotional impact of the trauma and improve your overall well being.
Couples therapy in Nebraska often focuses on one specific matter of concern. It is usually short term, with the goal of addressing the main issue and learning how to manage it. The focus might be addiction, finances, children, or any other challenge that is putting stress on the relationship.
Signs that you have become dependent on nicotine include smoking more than one pack a day, smoking within five minutes of waking up, and smoking to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Fortunately, nicotine replacement therapy in Nebraska can help you break this dependence and work toward a nicotine free lifestyle.
Therapists in Nebraska offer family therapy to help facilitate discussions about how addiction is a disease and can affect the entire family. This approach fosters empathy between family members and helps to reduce blame. This collective effort supports recovery and reduces negative behaviors within the family unit.
