Prescription monitoring
Nebraska's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program collects data on dispensed prescription medications into a secure database available to authorized health care professionals. It is described on the Nebraska DHHS website and runs on the state health information exchange platform.
Who oversees treatment
Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services, through its Division of Behavioral Health, runs substance use services. Treatment centers are licensed by the department's Division of Public Health Licensure Unit.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Nebraska law gives immunity from certain drug possession charges to a person who seeks emergency help for an overdose in good faith, and to the person who overdosed. It does not shield against other offenses such as drug-induced homicide.
Court-ordered treatment
Nebraska's Mental Health Commitment Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. 71-901 to 71-963) allows court-ordered commitment of a person who is substance dependent and presents a substantial risk of serious harm because of it.

Many LGBTQ people carry experiences of family rejection or strained relationships into treatment. Research on LGBTQ young people has linked family rejection with higher rates of substance use and depression, while family acceptance is protective.
Good programs make room for chosen family and offer family sessions when they help. Our guide on family rejection and recovery covers this in more depth.
How dual diagnosis treatment works
Dual diagnosis treatment treats substance use and mental health conditions at the same time, with one team. It usually combines therapy, psychiatric medication management and addiction treatment. The programs on this page report treatment for co-occurring serious mental illness, psychiatric medications and an LGBTQ program or group.

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
