About Stephen Center HERO Program – Omaha

The Stephen Center HERO program, located in Omaha, Nebraska, offers addiction treatment for low-income or homeless adults aged 19 and older. If you’re dealing with a substance use disorder or you’re facing mental health challenges then they provide residential and outpatient care to help you get the support you need.

Every client begins in Transition Into Programming (TIP) where they spend around 24 to 48 hours. Next is short-term residential (STR) followed by intensive outpatient treatment (IOP). After completing treatment, clients can choose to stay in a sober living environment. It’s a great way to get the extra support many people need as they continue working on recovery.

The STR program gives clients a solid start on their recovery. Most clients stay in STR for around 30 to 45 days. Weekly check-ins with counselors and case managers help keep things on track. Clients take part in four weeks of family programming as part of their treatment. Family members are encouraged to join if possible.

The IOP provides structured housing and flexible support over six to 10 weeks. Clients focus on life and recovery skills. During this phase of treatment, they can work on finding a job, attending support groups, or volunteering. After completing IOP, clients usually transition into the general outpatient (OP) program for four to six weeks.

After finishing treatment, clients can stay in a structured sober living environment for up to 90 days. To make the most of this time, clients actively work on their sobriety by participating in 12-step programs. It’s a great way to continue building a solid foundation for recovery.
Every step of treatment includes evidence-based and motivational approaches to recovery. The program includes trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and both group and individual therapy.
Many clients believe the HERO program is one of the best in Omaha. The kind and humble staff are truly dedicated to helping people overcome their challenges. If you’re ready to begin recovery then you’ll get a solid start here.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers.

They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families.

Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use.
