About

About Douglas County

Douglas County Community Mental Health Center operates from 1709 Jackson Street in downtown Omaha, with administrative offices at 4102 Woolworth Street, and provides behavioral health services to adults age 19 and older across a five-county region: Douglas, Dodge, Cass, Washington, and Sarpy. As a county-operated facility, the Center serves as the regional safety-net resource for mental health and substance use treatment.

The service portfolio is unusually broad. CMHC operates Inpatient Behavioral Healthcare in a safe, secure environment staffed by nursing and psychiatric technicians; Outpatient Services for both mental health and substance use; Detoxification Services for individuals beginning withdrawal management; and a dedicated Collaboration with Corrections program that serves incarcerated individuals and supports their transition back into the community. The Center is also accessible to Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients.

Clinical leadership and care are provided by a team that includes Administrator Sherry L. Driver (LIMHP), along with clinicians Stephanie Voyles (LICSW, LADC), Madonna Licht (LICSW), and Sara Baker (LICSW, LADC). The combination of dual-licensed (clinical and substance abuse) credentials reflects the Center’s integrated approach to co-occurring mental health and addiction disorders.

Douglas County CMHC accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and state-funded plans, with sliding-scale fees and financial assistance available for self-pay clients. Office hours are Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The main intake line is 402-444-7931 or email cmhc@douglascounty-ne.gov.

24-Hour Medical Detox Services

Douglas County Mental Health Center operates round-the-clock detoxification services for adults requiring immediate medical detox and withdrawal management. The facility provides medically supervised detox with licensed clinical staff overseeing withdrawal protocols in a secure environment.

Regular operating hours run Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with 24-hour detox capabilities available for crisis admissions. This ensures individuals experiencing acute withdrawal symptoms can access medical detox when needed, not just during business hours.

Outpatient Detox Programs

The center offers outpatient detox programs and intensive outpatient (IOP) services for alcohol detox, opioid detox, and other substance withdrawal management. These programs allow patients to receive medically supervised detox while maintaining some daily responsibilities.

Licensed clinical social workers with addiction credentials (LICSW, LADC) provide clinical oversight throughout the detox process. The outpatient model serves individuals who require medical supervision but do not need 24-hour inpatient detox services.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders

Douglas County specializes in treating co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis cases where substance use disorders occur alongside mental health conditions. This integrated approach addresses both withdrawal management and underlying psychiatric symptoms simultaneously.

The facility's mental health focus ensures that individuals with complex dual diagnosis needs receive comprehensive treatment rather than addressing substance use in isolation. Licensed mental health professionals coordinate care between detox services and ongoing psychiatric treatment.

Payment Options and Accessibility

As a county-operated facility, Douglas County accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, self-pay, and offers sliding scale fees based on income. This comprehensive payment structure removes financial barriers to accessing medical detox services.

The facility serves adults 19 years and older across Douglas, Sarpy, Dodge, Cass, and Washington counties. Specialized accommodations include services for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, plus court-ordered treatment options for those mandated to receive detox services.
