About South Central Behavioral Services – Unity House

South Central Behavioral Services has an outpatient support center called Unity House serving the community of Kearney, Nebraska. More specifically, Unity House provides daytime dual diagnosis mental health and substance abuse treatment. They also provide community support which includes case management and recovery services.

For admission into these programs, you must be at least 19 years old and meet the criteria for a severe and persistent mental illness or a substance use disorder. One unique part of Unity House’s program is that they provide transportation for individuals who need it to come to treatment.

Benefit From Social Support in a Structured Setting

The Day Rehab program is offered daily from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm. Occasionally they will hold weekend social events. While enrolled in this treatment program, you’ll participate in group and individual projects, community outings, classes, and special events. Typically sessions start with group discussions, then various activities, and wrap up for the day. You’ll be encouraged to attend at least three days per week up to five days maximum. Licensed clinicians use a range of approaches including motivational interviewing, whole health action management, and trauma-informed care.

I noticed that in addition to treatment, there are some neat places around town that might be of interest to take your mind off recovery for a while. Check out Yanney Heritage Park or the Museum of Nebraska Art. If you like nature, Kearney's Hike-Bike Trail System is nearby as is Cottonmill Park.

Case Management And Support For Recovery

For the community support component of rehab at Unity House, the staff will help you with case management and have flexible hours to assist with your individual needs. They’ll help you follow through on your daily activities, provide skill-building, and connect you to any other resources you might need to sustain recovery. I saw that weekly outpatient groups are focused on topics like Stages of Change, relapse prevention, Seeking Safety, and dialectical behavior therapy.

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.
