Nebraska Substance Abuse & Drug Addiction Hotlines

In Nebraska, the challenge of substance abuse is a pressing health concern. According to the CDC, 9.56% of the state's population has used illicit drugs within the past month this year. In 2021, there were 214 overdose deaths. Statistics for the previous year are not yet compiled.

Addiction's hold extends beyond Nebraska to encompass the entire nation. Help is available, however. Presented here are three resources at no cost for addressing substance abuse for those living in Nebraska. Recognizing addiction as a disease is the first step towards recovery, and we strive to support that journey.
