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.

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
