Veterans Affairs Medical Center's Chemical Abuse Services in Lincoln, Nebraska, is dedicated to serving veterans and eligible individuals struggling with substance abuse and alcohol dependence. Located at 600 South 70th Street, this facility offers comprehensive treatment options tailored to meet the unique needs of men, women, and individuals referred through the criminal justice system for DUI and DWI offenses. As a VA-affiliated treatment center, the facility brings specialized expertise in treating the veteran population while maintaining accessibility for the broader Lincoln community.
Veterans Affairs Medical Center provides a full continuum of care designed to support individuals at various stages of recovery. Detoxification services help patients safely manage withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision, often serving as the critical first step toward long-term recovery. Outpatient treatment allows individuals to receive counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and support services while maintaining employment and family responsibilities. Partial hospitalization or day treatment offers a more intensive level of care than outpatient programs, providing structured therapeutic services several hours per day without requiring overnight stays. The facility also offers gender-specific programs for both women and men, recognizing that treatment needs and clinical approaches may differ based on gender. This multi-level approach ensures that each person can access the appropriate intensity of care for their situation.
Understanding that financial concerns should never prevent someone from seeking treatment, Veterans Affairs Medical Center accepts multiple forms of payment, including Medicaid, Medicare, military insurance (VA/Tricare), private health insurance, state-financed programs, and self-payment options. Most insurance plans are required to provide coverage for substance abuse treatment under the Mental Health Parity Act, meaning your addiction treatment should receive the same level of coverage as physical health conditions. If you have questions about your specific coverage, the admissions team can help verify your benefits and explore all available payment options.
