Alcoholism

Alcoholism is typically characterized by an inability to control alcohol consumption, withdrawal symptoms when drinking stops, and impairment in the ability to socialize and work. Recovering from alcohol addiction is a long process that begins with alcohol rehab in Nebraska. It requires applying techniques that are learned through evidence-based counseling, mutual-support groups, and other related therapies.

Drug Addiction

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.

Dual Diagnosis

Dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs in Nebraska offer specialized care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization levels of care are available. Clinicians offer a robust treatment plan encompassing evidence-based therapies, like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, or motivational interviewing, together with family counseling, educational groups, and recovery meetings, to address both disorders and enhance mental health and well-being.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

In Nebraska, dual-diagnosis rehabs provide comprehensive care for individuals facing both mental health and substance abuse challenges. Outpatient and inpatient programs generally include individual and group therapy, recovery support groups, dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma treatment, and skills development groups to treat both disorders successfully. Other supportive recovery services like medical detox, 12-Step recovery meetings, and aftercare support may be available to further support you in sustaining your recovery.

Opioid Addiction

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.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs are often ideally suited for clients exiting intensive inpatient care, those who are medically stable, and those not at an elevated relapse risk. They also offer flexibility for clients who may be unable to leave their work or family to receive inpatient care. Many outpatient treatment centers provide a full suite of services, including recovery education, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and individual, group, and family counseling. Ancillary services, including peer coaching and vocational training, are widely available.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed to evolve with clients’ evolving needs. Most programs provide between nine and 20 hours of care weekly, with the frequency and intensity of treatment gradually decreasing as clients grow stronger and more stable in their recovery. Intensive outpatient rehabs specialize in myriad treatment modalities, including medication assisted treatment (MAT) for those in alcohol and/or opioid recovery, addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and evidence-based holistic care.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an extensively-researched, integrative psychotherapy proven effective for trauma treatment. By directly affecting how the brain processes information, EMDR helps people see traumatic memories in new, less distressing ways. Adjunctive therapy allows the client to retain their primary therapist and receive EMDR treatment from LFS. An EMDR-trained therapist works with the client for six to eight sessions specifically for EMDR therapy. After completion of EMDR therapy the client returns to their primary therapist.

Family Therapy

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

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.

Individual Therapy

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

Community Support Specialists provide assistance to individuals experiencing Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI). The goal is to help clients achieve self-sustaining independence by attaining stability, improving personal, community and vocational functioning, increasing residential stability and enhancing development of skills.

Trauma Therapy

An evidence-based psychotherapy for children and adolescents (ages 3 to 18) with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other difficulties related to traumatic life events. The goal of TF-CBT is to provide both the child and caregiver with the knowledge and skills to help them identify and cope with trauma-related emotions, thoughts and behaviors.
