Getting Help in Nebraska
An addiction to drugs or alcohol can cast a shadow over every part of your life, robbing you of hope for the future. Many Nebraskans are familiar with the helplessness addicts feel in regard to substance abuse—whether it be their own or that of a loved one. Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease that requires professional help to manage. You cannot expect to overcome it on your own.
If you or someone you care about needs help with addiction or a co-occurring disorder, we recommend you call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) free 24/7 national helpline: 1-800-662-4357. SAMHSA will connect you to local treatment options in Nebraska, as well as state-funded treatment if you do not have insurance coverage.

Choosing From Many Nebraska Rehab Centers
To determine which Nebraska rehab center is right for you, you need to do the necessary research and self-reflection to narrow down your choices.

Talk to someone who’s been through it before
If you can, find someone who has already sought help at a Nebraska rehab center and ask them for advice. Even if the facility they went to isn’t right for you, you will still be able to learn from their experience, becoming more aware of what kind of recovery program you’re looking for.

Ask for help from family and friends
It is easy to become overwhelmed and discouraged before you’ve even begun the recovery process. Be open with family and friends about your addiction, and about your desire to seek drug treatment centers in Nebraska. Ask for their help and support. This will not only help you feel less alone through the process, it will also make you accountable to someone other than yourself. Sometimes just knowing that there are loved ones praying for your recovery can be enough to keep you from giving up and deciding not to get help after all.

Honestly consider what kind of treatment program will work best for you
Taking a good look at yourself and being honest about your unique personality and issues is key to choosing the right Nebraska rehab center. Although you may want to attend an outpatient program that will allow you to sleep in your own bed every night, you might benefit much more from the 24/7 focus on recovery that you can only get at a residential drug treatment centers in Nebraska.
