Nebraska Drug and Alcohol Rehabs

Nebraska Addiction Rehab Information

Finding the best rehab treatment centers to over overcome chemical dependency - be it drugs or alcohol - can be a frustrating endeavor.  Just in the state of Nebraska, there are several options to choose from. Our counselors can go over the options with you.  We know location, private vs. non-profit, in-patient vs. out-patient as well as several other factors should be considered before you make your choice let alone the different types of drug treatment programs that are available. 

The state of Nebraska provides several drug and alcohol rehab programs for adults and adolescents. With so many choices, one would think it wouldn't be too difficult to select a program, but you would be wrong. There are just about as many drug rehab treatment philosophies as there are drug and alcohol rehab centers.

Some programs do not offer drug detox programs and thus refer out for this addiction treatment service. Others believe addiction is a disease forever leaving the addict in a problem stripping them of their freedom of choice to overcome addiction and sentencing them to a lifetime of alcoholism or being a drug addict and thus, opening the door to relapse.

Another aspect of selecting a drug rehab treatment program is whether the user should attend a program close to home or not. Sometimes selecting a program far from home is key to success especially when choosing long-term inpatient treatment programs. This provides a "trigger-free" environment which distances the individual from negative reinforcements for their addictive behavior.

Nebraska Drug Use Information

According to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration), marijuana is readily available throughout the major cities in Nebraska. The marijuana available in the state includes marijuana from Mexico and from sources in the state of Washington which may have obtained their marijuana from grow operations in British Columbia, Canada.

Crystal methamphetamine or “ice” is readily available in Omaha and has become the preferred form of methamphetamine. The availability of imported methamphetamine is stable in all areas of Nebraska with a negligible presence of local low-yield labs in the rural areas. Hispanic controlled trafficking organizations import methamphetamine into Nebraska primarily in vehicles.

Cocaine is available in limited quantities in the Omaha Metropolitan area. This is primarily due to the consumer preference for methamphetamine. The available c ocaine is obtained primarily from sources in southwest border states. Cocaine distributors in Omaha are primarily of Hispanic origin and are known to trade with African-American groups who convert the cocaine to crack.

Heroin is available in small amounts in the Omaha, Nebraska area, and is primarily obtained from sources in Mexico.

The popularity of predatory or club drugs continues to be a concern to law enforcement and to local communities. There is a perception among users that these drugs are "safe" to use.

Diversion of OxyContin®, hydrocodone, and codeine-based cough syrups continues to be a problem in Nebraska. Methods of diversion include “doctor shopping” (going to multiple doctors to obtain prescriptions for controlled pharmaceuticals) and forged prescriptions. Stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, anabolic steroids and illegally diverted pharmaceuticals are abused to a much lesser degree than the more traditional drugs in Nebraska.

Drug Related Statistics from the White House Drug Policy for the State of Nebraska
 

Drug cravings seem insurmountable to the drug addict. Their cravings are so intense and uncomfortable that it induces the addict to commit acts such as stealing from one’s own family in order to get more drugs. The addict does things that he normally wouldn’t do, were he not addicted. These misdeeds make it even more difficult for the addict to face and confront the situation.
