The Nebraska Medicine Behavioral Health Program uses a combination of psychotherapy, group therapy and medications approved for psychiatric and substance use and psychiatric disorders, provided by a multidisciplinary team of providers including a board certified addiction psychiatrist, licensed therapists and a registered nurse. 

Suzanne Noonan struggled with substance use and addiction issues for years. But when she found the Outpatient Addiction Program at Nebraska Medicine she finally found an answer. 

“I have felt like I found an answer here,” says Noonan. “I found a therapist who not only listened and validated my feelings and supported me but also gave me answers…someone who gave me and taught me skills to use.”
