They also offer treatment for gambling and other addictions. Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accredited, they accept Medicaid, Medicare, military insurance and SAMHSA block grants. Sign language services are available for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. The option of telehealth visits increases treatment accessibility for those unable to attend in person.

Trauma Informed Care and the Matrix Model

Emphasizing trauma informed care, they offer individual, group, family and couples counseling. Based in the Matrix Model, treatment uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and 12 Step facilitation. Motivational interviewing is also practiced. I was pleased to find that they provide vaping and smoking cessation therapy. HIV/AIDS and hepatitis support and education are also available.

Providing a comprehensive continuum of services, the program is offered to groups of all ages. Children, adolescents, young adults, adults and seniors are all welcome. Specialized programs are available for specific patient populations. I appreciate that they have dedicated groups for adult and pregnant/postpartum women.

Adult Program

Each adult program in Nebraska meets individuals where they are on their recovery journey. Using various treatment methods, the programs help people change patterns of substance abuse and break free from addiction.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.
