LFS Lutheran Family Services

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Omaha, 4 offer a bed.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Omaha is the nearest place that does it, about a mile away.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Omaha often still has to be in person.

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

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Omaha.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Omaha.

List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. Ask whether medication is inside the quote, because it is a frequent extra.

It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. A plan tends to approve a level of care in blocks of days, then review whether to carry on. Ask whether the quote covers the detox as well, because frequently it does not.
