New Horizon Drug Rehab Omaha Nebraska

“In spite of scientific evidence that establishes the effectiveness of drug abuse treatment, many people believe that treatment is ineffective.”

This is a statement made by Dr. Leshner, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The reason for this claim is because of the gap between what is taught and what is really happening in the field of recovery. Even when new data and information is demonstrated, putting it into action usually leaves most treatment facilities in the dark. On the other hand, programs making claims on what is working for them, is considered unreliable because of a lack in credible data.

When addicts first start taking drugs, they believe that they can give them up without any external help. This is not a realistic experience and most cannot get completely clean for the long term. There are numerous research papers available that show long term drug abuse reduces cognitive function and these changes to the brain do not recover for many years, even after the individual has ceased taking drugs. The changes to the brain that repeated drug abuse creates also changes behaviors. This is seen is the characteristic of addiction, where even though using the drug will have negative consequences, an addict can’t stop themselves.

As long as we understand that this is an important biological issue, we can see why many people addicted to drugs have trouble maintaining abstinence without getting external help. Social associations such as old drug-based friendships, stress due to problems at work or home, and environmental factors such as smells and objects from their past life can interact with this biological factor and make the chances of a relapse all the more likely to happen. It has been found through many academic studies that the participation of the addict in therapy sessions is completely necessary in order to beat any addiction.

Accreditation is a process of external reviews, used to insure quality assurance and quality improvement. In the field of Substance Abuse/Mental Health, accreditations and certifications are carried out by the state, and private, nonprofit organizations. The thorough evaluation of the policies and procedures make accreditation and certification of the treatment facility a vital part in making a decision for those seeking treatment.

• The organization’s programs and services have met people-focused, worldwide performance standards.

New Horizon believes in recognition of changes made by the clients. Starting from Phase One, the first 28 days of treatment are the basis of our facility. Through the different approaches taken to ensure individualized care the second 28 days, offer more in-depth treatment, and make up our Phase Two. Extended duration clients, enter into Phase Three, where the transition back into society is governed by continual interactions with counselors and therapists.

Our goal is to treat on an individual basis, with a treatment program designed and implemented to meet each clients own assessed needs. The intensity of the treatment and the length of stay with the New Horizon network will ultimately determine the total cost. For the vast amount of experience and education each member on our Treatment Team brings, most other programs can not match our effectiveness dollar for dollar.

Most people with recovery services hesitate to use the word cure. An addiction is not like an acute disease where a physician can say definitively you are cured. Addictions are a chronic disease such as asthma or diabetes. The asthma sufferer and the diabetic generally require medications for the rest of their lives in order to control their disease and live functional lives. It is much the same for the addict who must adopt an alternative way of living and coping in order to fulfill the goal of long-term recovery. New Horizon will provide the client with the necessary skills to achieve those goals.

We accept insurance, checks, cash, and most major credit cards. To hold a bed at our facility, please call for more information.

Depending on the season, wardrobe for a 3-4 week stay is best. We have laundry facilities on site, and special times are allotted for weekly washing & drying. Personal items, hygiene items, books, and CD players are all acceptable. A once-a-week store run is provided for clients to buy any necessities that may have been forgotten.
