Saint Monicas Behavioral Health Servs - Short Term Residential

Trauma-Informed and Gender-Specific Recovery

Saint Monica’s Behavioral Health Services in Lincoln, Nebraska provides trauma-informed, gender-specific care for women working to overcome substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. The residential setting feels home-like and restorative, offering 24-hour support focused on safety, empowerment, and personal growth. Most stays last around eight weeks, with access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT) as part of an integrated recovery plan.

Family-Centered Programs for Women

Designed to support women in all stages of recovery, care includes specialized programs such as Project Mother & Child and Women Are Sacred. These family-centered tracks help pregnant and parenting women heal while maintaining healthy family connections. Parenting education, early childhood services, and reunification planning help mothers strengthen their family relationships and stability during recovery.

Holistic Healing and Skill Building

Clients engage in counseling, education, and community-based wellness activities that foster both emotional and practical recovery. The program combines life-skills development and vocational support with therapies like trauma-informed counseling, expressive art, mindfulness, and yoga. These experiences help women rebuild confidence, learn coping strategies, and prepare for long-term independence. The facility’s comfort dog and peer-based community groups add warmth and connection to daily treatment.

Transitional Housing and Continuing Support

Recovery continues after treatment through step-down programs such as AWE Housing and Next Step Transitional Housing, offering safe, sober spaces to practice independent living. Ongoing support includes recovery coaching, aftercare planning, and transportation assistance, helping women maintain stability and continue accessing resources in the community. This continuum of care reflects Saint Monica’s belief that recovery is about rebuilding life with dignity and support.
