Nebraska offers a variety of detox programs for those addicted to drugs or alcohol. Nebraska offers inpatient detox, outpatient detox, partial hospitalization treatment, and alternative treatments, depending on what would suit the individual best. Inpatient treatment in Nebraska is a long term detox/rehabilitation program designed for people in the deepest stages of their addiction. Inpatient treatment stays can last up to a month, and during that time an individual will receive detox, counseling, 24 hour care, and other rehabilitation services that facilitate a lucrative recovery process. This presents a challenge to the individual considering attending an inpatient program, however; statistically speaking, this is the best chance they have for long term sobriety. Outpatient treatment involves treatment that may be similar to that in inpatient treatment, however; outpatient treatment patients receive services at a centralized location, but then usually return home at night. Partial hospitalisation may be inpatient or outpatient treatment, but involves a brief stay in the hospital for detox purposes.
