The Bridge Behavioral Health
The Bridge Behavioral Health is a nationally-accredited treatment center in Lincoln, Nebraska offering a full continuum of substance use and behavioral health services. Their trauma-informed, individualized approach and sliding fee model ensure accessibility for adults seeking recovery from addiction and co-occurring challenges.
With 24/7 nursing and physician support on site, The Bridge provides medically-monitored withdrawal, residential treatment, respite care, and outpatient services — all framed within a mission to provide hope and a strong foundation for recovery. Open to individuals regardless of their ability to pay, the facility emphasizes dignity, inclusion and collaboration in its care model. At its Lincoln campus, clients can progress from stabilization through longer-term residential stays and transition into outpatient or community-based support to sustain sobriety.
Their programs use evidence-based therapies — including individual and group counseling, life skills and nutrition education, and trauma-specific work — and integrate support for both substance use and mental health issues. Financially accessible through a sliding scale, the center also helps clients with evaluations, case management and family counseling to foster long-term recovery and community reintegration.
