About

About Bridge Behavioral Health

Bridge Behavioral Health is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 721 K Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving adult men across Lincoln and Southeast Nebraska. Open 24 hours a day, the center has provided what its own website describes as ‘a safe passage to recovery’ for more than 40 years, making it one of the longer-standing dedicated treatment programs in the region. It treats both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions under one roof.

The facility’s continuum of care begins with medical detox — the structured, supervised withdrawal management that many patients require before transitioning into longer-term treatment. From there, Bridge Behavioral Health offers residential treatment for those who need around-the-clock support, as well as an outpatient program and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for individuals who can maintain a less restrictive setting. The facility also provides social withdrawal services and respite care, rounding out a range of options that allows clinical staff to match level of care to each patient’s clinical need.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used in treatment at Bridge Behavioral Health. The clinical team includes Amy Keck, BS LADC, who serves as Clinical Director of Substance Use Programs, and Miranda Ienn, RN BSN, who oversees nursing — relevant credentials given that medical detox and withdrawal management require both clinical and nursing oversight. Aftercare planning incorporates family support and recovery support services to address continuity of care after discharge.

Bridge Behavioral Health serves adult men ages 19 and older. The facility accepts Medicaid, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, which broadens access for patients across different financial situations in Southeast Nebraska. For those facing an urgent need for medically supervised detox or residential treatment in the Lincoln area, the center’s 24-hour operation means intake does not have to wait.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Lincoln, NE

Bridge Behavioral Health provides medical detox as the entry point for patients who require supervised withdrawal management before engaging in longer-term treatment. The facility operates around the clock, meaning clinical and nursing staff are present 24 hours a day to monitor patients through the withdrawal process. Miranda Ienn, RN BSN, serves as Nursing Supervisor, providing medical oversight that is essential during the detox phase.

For adult men in Lincoln and Southeast Nebraska who need detox before residential or outpatient treatment, Bridge offers a structured pathway. After medical detox, patients can step directly into residential treatment or transition to the intensive outpatient program, depending on their clinical needs — a continuity that helps avoid the gaps that can occur when detox and ongoing treatment happen at separate facilities.

Levels of Care: From Detox to Outpatient Programs

Bridge Behavioral Health's levels of care span medical detox, residential treatment, standard outpatient programming, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). The facility also provides social withdrawal services and respite care — less common offerings that reflect the center's attention to varying patient circumstances. This range allows the clinical team to recommend the appropriate level of supervision based on each patient's situation rather than fitting patients into a single program type.

The clinical team is led by Amy Keck, BS LADC, Clinical Director of Substance Use Programs, and Executive Director Ed Thornbrugh, MBA, HCA. Aftercare planning at Bridge includes family support and recovery support services, recognizing that sustained recovery typically requires resources beyond the formal treatment episode.

The facility serves patients from Lincoln and the broader Southeast Nebraska region. Services are provided in English.

Payment is accepted through Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay, making the programs accessible to patients across a range of financial situations. For families researching same-day options for a loved one in crisis, the center's 24-hour schedule and multi-payer acceptance are practical factors worth knowing upfront. Inquiries can be directed to (402) 477-3951 or info@thebridgenebraska.org.

Accreditation and Clinical Leadership

Bridge Behavioral Health holds CARF accreditation, a recognized standard in behavioral health and substance use treatment that requires facilities to meet defined quality benchmarks. For patients and families evaluating detox centers, CARF accreditation provides an independent indicator of program quality beyond self-reported claims.

The facility's leadership team includes clinically credentialed staff across substance use, nursing, quality assurance, and emergency services. Brock Hanson serves as Recovery Advocate Supervisor and Brody Lauby leads as Emergency Services Lead Counselor — roles that support patients during acute phases of care. This combination of accreditation and staffed clinical leadership is relevant for patients considering medical detox or residential treatment at the Lincoln facility.
