CHI Health Richard Young Inpatient Behavioral Health Center

The Richard Young Behavioral Health Center (part of the CHI Health network) is a dual diagnosis treatment center. They're located in Kearney, Nebraska, and serve people of all ages. This location offers substance use disorder treatment through its general outpatient program. Higher levels of care are available for addressing behavioral health concerns. Staff makes use of a trauma informed treatment model that explores the links between past unresolved traumas and negative behaviors. You'll get to experience individual and family therapy here. They accept some private insurance plans in addition to Medicare and Medicaid. Financial assistance is also available if you qualify.

You've probably heard that addiction and recovery are different for everyone, and it's true. Even when two people are addicted to the same substance and behaviors, the hows and whys can vary wildly. Trauma informed care seeks to uncover the past events that brought you to addiction and make your journey unique. Understanding these aspects serves to shape your course of treatment into something that uniquely addresses your needs.

An aspect of this approach that I like is that it also helps your care team avoid triggering these past traumas. Exploration in recovery needs to happen in a safe environment. Ultimately, staff want to improve physical and emotional health through this approach and support services.

What's great about their substance abuse program is the inclusion of continuing care services. Your care team will help you identify and coordinate the next steps in your recovery journey. This includes things like connecting with local support groups and finding supportive healthcare providers. Not every treatment program includes this service, so it's something you may want to consider if you feel you'll benefit from ongoing support.
