Behavioral Health Specialists Inc - Sunrise Place

Structured Residential Treatment with Withdrawal Management

Sunrise Place provides short-term residential substance use treatment in Norfolk, Nebraska, beginning with clinically managed social detox for adults who are medically stable but need a structured setting for withdrawal. During this phase, the focus is on rest, nutrition, monitoring psychological functioning, and assessing each person’s needs. As clients are able, they can begin joining treatment groups and activities. Residential care includes a minimum of 42 hours of scheduled therapeutic interventions each week, creating a steady routine.

Therapy Built Around Self-Discovery and Relapse Prevention

The program emphasizes individualized treatment planning and self-discovery assignments tailored to each client’s needs and strengths. Services include individual therapy, group therapy, family and couples therapy, educational programming, and connection to the 12-step community. Across its treatment offerings, Behavioral Health Specialists also offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, anger management, and relapse prevention support. This combination may appeal to adults looking for a structured program that balances emotional insight with practical skill-building for daily life.

Family Involvement as Part of Recovery

A key part of Sunrise Place’s approach is its emphasis on family participation. Family Day takes place on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month and gives loved ones a chance to learn more about substance use, share concerns with other families, and participate in family therapy. That focus can be especially meaningful for people whose recovery is closely tied to rebuilding trust, communication, and healthier relationships at home. The facility’s stated goals also reflect this emphasis, including strengthening relationship-building skills and helping families better understand recovery and coping tools.

Continued Support After Residential Care

Sunrise Place extends support beyond a residential stay through aftercare services, discharge planning, overdose education, weekly aftercare groups, and an alumni association. The alumni program offers a way for graduates to stay involved through meetings, events, and peer connection. This ongoing support can help reduce isolation and provide structure during the transition back to everyday responsibilities. The facility also provides transportation assistance, which may make it easier for some clients to access care and stay engaged in treatment and recovery support.
