The Well - Womens Dual Disorder

A Nonprofit Residential Program Built for Women’s Real-Life Needs

The Well – Women’s Dual Disorder in Norfolk, Nebraska provides long-term, 24-hour residential treatment for adult women with substance use and co-occurring mental health needs. The program emphasizes dignity, trauma-informed care, and access for people with limited financial resources, including a sliding fee scale and payment assistance.

Mommy & Me Treatment That Keeps Families Together

The Mommy & Me program serves pregnant people and mothers with children up to 12 years old in a therapeutic residential setting, reducing a common barrier to entering care. Residential stays are typically about four to six months. Childcare and child-specific services are available through a partnership with Northern Hills Child Care, which offers attachment-focused care and education rooted in individualized learning, social-emotional development, and school readiness.

Evidence-Based Therapy and Medication Support for Co-Occurring Needs

Treatment includes individual, group, and family counseling, with approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, anger management, trauma-related counseling, substance use disorder counseling, and 12-step facilitation. Medication support is available, including naltrexone for relapse prevention and nicotine replacement, and the program can accept clients who are using medications for addiction treatment (MAT) prescribed elsewhere.

Practical Skills, Case Management, and Discharge Planning

The program pairs clinical care with skill development groups that focus on day-to-day stability, including parenting, relationships, budgeting, health and nutrition, cooking, cleaning, and job readiness. Support services include case management, peer support, recovery coaching, housing and social services assistance, employment counseling or training, transportation assistance, and discharge planning. Aftercare services can include ongoing follow-up and naloxone and overdose education.
