Seekers of Serenity Place at Behavioral Health Specialists

The standard length of stay for our residential program is 30 days. This follows a social detox period which typically lasts 5 to 7 days.

The living situation is in a structured, facility-style environment (a former nursing home). Private rooms are not available. Clients share a room with two other individuals of the same gender. Bathrooms are also shared.

Yes, for the safety and security of our clients, this is a locked facility. While treatment is voluntary and a client could choose to leave, they are not permitted to go outside unsupervised.

Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas during breaks. Personal electronics like cell phones and laptops are strictly prohibited to ensure focus on recovery. After a 7-day initial blackout period, you may use the facility's landline for one 10-minute call per day.

Bring: A completed physical form, a 30-day supply of all prescribed medications, 7 changes of comfortable clothing, pajamas, personal hygiene items (alcohol-free), and your insurance card.
Leave at home: Electronics (cell phones, radios), aerosol cans, products containing alcohol (perfume, some mouthwash), inappropriate reading material, drug/alcohol paraphernalia, nail polish, and e-cigarettes.

Inpatient addiction treatment means you live at the facility full-time, usually for 30–90 days, in a highly structured environment where your day is scheduled with therapy, group sessions, medical care, meals, and downtime; it feels immersive and supportive, but also restrictive since you’re away from home, work, and family. Outpatient treatment, on the other hand, lets you live at home and continue daily life while attending scheduled therapy and support sessions at a clinic several times a week; it feels more flexible and less disruptive, but also requires more self-discipline because you’ll still face your usual triggers and responsibilities outside of treatment.

The campus consists of a single-story building that was formerly a nursing home. It includes client wings with bedrooms and shared bathrooms, a dining hall, group rooms, offices, and designated outdoor areas.

Care is provided by a team of on-site nurses and licensed counselors. There are no doctors or psychiatrists physically on staff, but clients have access to medical providers through telehealth services as needed.

You will be in treatment with other co-ed adults (18+) from various backgrounds, many of whom are utilizing Nebraska Medicaid. The facility has a capacity of 23 clients, creating a small and supportive peer community. While the program is co-ed, rooms are gender-specific.

Family involvement is encouraged. Visits are permitted on weekends. Additionally, a special family day is held every other Thursday to help loved ones participate in the healing process. Note there is an initial 7-day period with no visits or calls.

We offer robust discharge planning. While we do not have our own outpatient program at this location, we can refer clients to our sister facility in Norfolk for continuing care. For clients remaining in Nebraska, we offer a virtual "Community Support" program for ongoing connection and support.
