Levels of care#

Inpatient / residential

Once the stay starts to wind down, thoughts turn to life beyond inpatient structure. In Nebraska, care ends with a planned step down to outpatient support and follow-up.

Outpatient

People in Nebraska stepping down from residential care often turn to outpatient sessions. The work goes on at a lighter pace while daily life continues at home.

Aftercare support

Once discharge from a Nebraska program nears, aftercare planning begins and next steps are discussed together. Writing the plan down before treatment ends gives it a head start.

Co-occurring disorders

Care for co-occurring disorders is built for one situation, a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time. The pairing is often called a dual diagnosis.
