About Friendship House Outpatient
Friendship House Outpatient offers behavioral health services in Grand Island, Nebraska. Here, you’ll find substance abuse counseling, evaluations, and crisis intervention. All services are bilingual in English and Spanish and are geared toward people of all ages. Therapy sessions and groups address substance abuse, and trauma, and provide life skills training.

Trauma Focused and Co-Occurring Treatment
Counselors begin with an honest evaluation looking at mental health issues and substance abuse. Using individual and group therapy sessions, clinicians will then guide you through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and life skills development to help you establish your recovery. Programming is designed to help you reach your goals and improve your personal wellness. They’ll help you create a crisis plan for the future. These crisis plans address mental health triggers and dangerous addiction situations.
Friendship also has a halfway house in the nearby area for men who are recovering from substance use disorder. This can transition you into the next phase of recovery. Offsite, you can also supplement your recovery by unwinding in local greenspaces like Pioneer Park next door. Peer Lake and Ryder Park also aren’t too far away.
Accessible and Flexible Care

If you need assistance, you can ask them if you qualify for the sliding scale or any other voucher programs. Counseling interns who provide care at a more accessible rate is another possibility for treatment.
