There is not one state in this country that does not have some type of drug abuse problem. Civic leaders in the cities, counties, or parishes comprising the state may not want to admit it, but the problem is there.
Those states, though, which recognize the fact that illegal or improper drug use does exist, and that addiction is an unfortunate byproduct of drug abuse, will offer addiction recovery programs. These programs will, or should, address all types of addiction, including that caused by alcohol, “street” and “recreational” drugs, and prescription drugs.
Addiction treatment help is available in Nebraska. A number of facilities provide short-term treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, while others offer long-term and follow-up treatment programs.
Therefore, when choosing addiction recovery programs in Nebraska, it is important to determine whether the program is considered short-term or long-term. Doing so in advance can alleviate problems which may arise from the necessity of transferring from a short-term program to a long-term program.
For instance, when a person is undergoing alcohol recovery, ensuring that there is no break in the treatment program, especially after the initial withdrawal period, may increase the chances that the person will continue seeking help after the detox phase has passed. This can increase the possibility that the program will be more successful.
Long-term programs provide opportunities for the recovering addict to continue receiving treatment on an outpatient basis, while short-term programs may operate on an inpatient status only. Knowing that the freedom is there to schedule appointments and times for such things as group therapy, individual counseling, and support meetings may be the impetus a person needs to continue a recovery program.
