Who We Are
Our Mission
At Alcohol & Drug Solutions (ADS), our mission is to empower individuals and families affected by substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders through compassionate, evidence-based care. We are committed to delivering accessible, client-centered treatment that fosters long-term recovery, personal growth, and community reintegration.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a leading provider of integrated behavioral health services in Nebraska, where every person seeking recovery has access to the support, dignity, and resources they need to heal. We strive to reduce stigma, strengthen families, and inspire hope—one life at a time.
Our Treatment Outlook
We believe recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Our approach combines structured programming with personalized care plans rooted in proven clinical practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing. We treat the whole person—addressing both substance use and underlying mental health challenges—to promote lasting transformation.
At ADS, we provide multiple levels of care including residential treatment, intensive outpatient (IOP), outpatient therapy, co-occurring disorder support, and court-approved evaluations and education. With bilingual services, telehealth options, and Medicaid/insurance-friendly admissions, we make recovery possible and sustainable.
