Heartland Family Service – Addiction Treatment Program
Heartland Family Service provides comprehensive care for individuals seeking recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. With a focus on stability and long-term wellness, this organization integrates evidence-based therapeutic practices to address the complex needs of clients in Nebraska and Iowa.
Integrated Dual-Diagnosis Approach
A cornerstone of the treatment philosophy at Heartland Family Service is the dual-diagnosis approach. Recognizing that addiction often co-occurs with mental health issues, the program offers integrated evaluation and treatment. This comprehensive method ensures that clients receive care for both substance use disorder and any underlying mental health conditions simultaneously, promoting a more holistic and successful path to recovery.
Services within this framework include on-site integrated mental health evaluation, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management. Clients also benefit from 24-hour emergency access to support. The overarching goal is to help individuals establish and maintain abstinence, initiating a stable recovery plan that incorporates essential relapse prevention strategies.
