The Lincoln Approach

 

Lincoln, NE, has built on the Statewide Epidemiological Profile from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Behavioral Health. This report was created through a wide workgroup that included various community organizations, educators, law enforcement professionals, and the health sector. As a result of this report, Lincoln officials felt that it was necessary to work very closely with parents, whom they described as the "first line of defense". Early intervention efforts, therefore, including making more family activities available, but also to ensure that parents are able to properly communicate with their children about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.

 

Some of the statistics revealed through the substance abuse report include the fact that:

 

  • 20.3% of adults in Lincoln binge drink, which is higher than the national average.
  • 13.6% of high school students in Lincoln binge drink, lower than the national average of 20.8%
  • There has been a significant decrease in the number of Lincoln high school students who smoke, currently standing at 11%.

  • 2.5% of adults in Lincoln admit to driving after they have consumed alcohol in the past 30 days, higher than the national average of 1.7%.

 

One of the things that makes the Lincoln approach quite unique to the rest of the country is that they have also placed a strong emphasis on mental health. It is a known fact that addiction and mental health problems often go hand in hand, known as "co-occurring disorders". Across the state, 6.6% of people report having a major depression in the past 12 months, and 220 people committed suicide. This is a significant increase since the last count and suicide is now the 10th most common cause of death in the state.

 

Substance Abuse Treatment in Lincoln, NE

 

Besides having various early intervention efforts in place to stop children and young people from turning to substances, Lincoln is also investing heavily in the availability of detox and rehab facilities. It is recommended that people always undergo medically supervised detox, as withdrawal symptoms have the potential to be lethal, particularly in cases of alcohol addiction. Once they have gone through detox, they can attend either residential or outpatient treatment facilities. While outpatient rehab is often more convenient, and more affordable, it is also much less effective, particularly in case of severe dependency or addiction, or where people have had multiple relapses. Hence, the recommendation is for people to attend inpatient rehab wherever possible. Either way, it must also be followed by intensive aftercare.
