Program Overview

Nebraska faces a growing challenge of addiction and overdose related to opioids and other prescription medications. In fact, Nebraska ranked in the top ten of all states for overdose deaths during the pandemic.

To address the growing need, LFS has now expanded its Medication Assisted Treatment programs in Lincoln to include Fremont, which will more effectively address the growing demand for assistance and provide support to individuals dealing with various substance use disorders.

  • Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) allows professionals to use medications, behavioral therapies, and counseling to provide a whole-person approach for those struggling with substance use disorders, including opioids, heroin, Fentanyl, alcohol, and tobacco use.

  • Individuals interested or referred to the MAT program will be evaluated by one of our advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) providers. Those who meet the criteria will be prescribed medications to assist with their substance use disorder, often in combination with group and individual therapy and peer support.

    MAT medications curb cravings, lessen withdrawal symptoms, block opioid receptors, which decrease the effects of the substances, and prevent overdose.
