Heartland Family Service

They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient residential, outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Omaha, 3 offer a bed.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Omaha, 2.3 miles away.

They do video appointments, which matters if Omaha is a drive for you.

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 6 named programs here.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Omaha.

The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.

A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.

Sometimes, and it depends far more on the level of care than on the center. Calling several places on the same day is the normal approach rather than an impatient one. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
