Detox
I don't understand why you can't give negative stars in this. This center is full of incompetent people, they don't know how to treat people, I think it is better to be sick than to receive treatment in this place.
About CenterPointe Administrative Offices
CenterPointe Residential has served the public in Lincoln, Nebraska, for over 50 years. They specialize in the treatment of substance abuse and mental health problems. Programs include medication management, transitional housing, and dual diagnosis care for adults 19 years old and older who are homeless or near-homeless. Medicaid is accepted.
CenterPointe’s residential program accepts clients who have a substance abuse problem and have a co-occurring illness, like depression. The stay is typically 6-8 months. The staff uses a bio-psycho-social treatment model to address mental illness and addiction at the same time and on equal terms. They do not use a 12 Step treatment model but encourage people to connect with a 12 Step self help group if they find it helpful to their ongoing recovery.
At CenterPointe, clients must attend 42 hours of group therapy each week. You’ll have the chance to address any lingering mental or behavioral issues. Outside of therapy, you’ll learn new life skills, like cooking. You can also hit the gym, learn how to budget, and cope with trauma and grief. You’ll have access to a computer room. Smoking is not allowed.
There’s also a community outreach program. If you need any basic necessities, like food or hygiene material, you can stop by. Harm reduction materials are also available, like Narcan.
Latest Reviews
A caldron of hypocrisy and clueless ineptitude.
I have been calling the crisis line for months and for the most part I have felt like I ve had good experiences. However, I was surprised to figure out today that my number has been blocked and I wasn t notified at all that this was going to take place. I am devastated that no one told me or gave me any indication that this would be happening. This week I have been really struggling and I did not intend to be disrespectful to anyone who answers the phone for the crisis line. I was having trouble making my self vulnerable, trusting others, and feeling like I was being listened to. I did not call anyone names or curse at anyone. I just hung up when I was not getting my needs met and called back hoping to get someone else. There were no direct warnings that I was going to be blocked and this felt incredibly violating that it took me by surprise. Despite all of the help I did get before I was blocked it was a huge mistake to make myself vulnerable to the people I spoke with since I wasn t given the courtesy of being told what was happening. I hurt myself because of feeling so incredibly rejected. It would be a mistake to ever trust a stranger on a crisis line again because of how I was treated. Organizations like Center Pointe who operate this way aren t meant to be a part of my life. I am not meant to trust them I am meant to suffer and feel like reaching out for help is a mistake.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient 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.
12-Step 12 step programs are based on a treatment model combining peer support with personal growth. The 12 steps of recovery deploy spiritual principles to promote participants' psychological and emotional healing, enabling them to identify and address the origins of their addiction, accept responsibility for their life choices, and relinquish control over that which cannot be changed. Religious affiliation is not required, and most meetings are non-denominational, though some formats, such as Celebrate Recovery! are rooted in Biblical principles.
24-Hour Clinical Care 24-hour clinical care in Nebraska lowers the risk of complications during detox. If you detox on your own, you may experience life-threatening symptoms such as seizures or heart palpitations that require medication to treat. In a supervised clinical setting, medical staff can provide this treatment and monitor your health 24/7. You'll receive tailored treatment to ensure a safe and more comfortable detox that allows you to overcome drug or alcohol dependence.
Medically Assisted Detox Medical detox is the process of removing alcohol and drugs from your body in a medically supervised environment and helping manage withdrawal symptoms. If you've become dependent on alcohol and some drugs (like benzodiazepines and opioids), quitting on your own can be uncomfortable and even dangerous. In an inpatient environment, you will be monitored by a team of medical professionals who will help keep you as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the process.
Intervention Services 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.
Sober Living Homes A sober living home in Nebraska offers an in-between place for recovery as individuals transition from inpatient care to home. Residents must pay rent and contribute to costs of living. Typically, insurance does not cover this housing expense. However, ongoing treatment received while living at a men's or women's sober living home, such as counseling or other outpatient treatment, may be covered.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
During drug rehab in Nebraska, you'll participate in therapies that address the many issues that contribute to addiction. Treatment includes physical, mental, emotional, and relational aspects. These methods provide the tools you need to achieve long-term recovery.
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.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Adult Program
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 Adult Program
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
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Cognitive behavioral therapy in Nebraska is often the preferred method of treatment for substance use. In just a few sessions, clients can learn how to identify challenges and start to develop healthy coping methods to manage them.
The premise of dialectical behavior therapy is that many problems are due to a lack of skills to properly handle them. This therapy aims to give you the skills to manage your emotions and challenging situations so you can live a healthier, productive life.
Often used to address addiction in Nebraska, motivational interviewing helps you become motivated to change. Research shows this method is effective for clients who are unprepared for change or feel unmotivated to change.
