Alcohol and Drug Evaluation
To request an evaluation at the Bryan Independence Center, you don't need to be certain that alcohol or other drugs are a problem. The purpose of an evaluation is to determine if alcohol or other drugs are a problem. If needed, the evaluator can help you find the best treatment program, even if that help comes from a different agency.
Walk-In Evaluation
Walk-in evaluations are available at the Bryan Independence Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m.-noon. Sometimes scheduling an appointment can be a barrier especially if a person is at a point where they are ready to seek help. This new walk-in option will help increase access to care.
For those seeking an evaluation, we strongly encourage arriving by 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The cost for an evaluation is $362. Individuals need to bring a photo ID, and a valid insurance card if they would like us to bill their insurance. Youth must be accompanied by a legal guardian.
Evaluation by Appointment
Evaluations are available Monday through Friday by appointment and as needed for emergencies. To schedule an evaluation, call 402-481-5268.
During the Evaluation
Evaluations are available for youth and adults. During an evaluation, a counselor determines the person's level of alcohol or other drug use and makes recommendations and referrals on substance abuse-related issues. This thorough evaluation includes an alcohol/drug history and assessment. The counselor also visits with family members and others about concerns and questions regarding the person's alcohol/drug use. Evaluations are available Monday through Friday by appointment and as needed for emergencies. An evaluation does not require a person to do anything. It is only a recommendation.
Additional Evaluation Opportunities
If a person won't come in for an evaluation, you have options. These options may help you decide how to proceed.
Sometimes the opportunity to help someone with an alcohol or drug-related problem occurs when the person is hospitalized for another medical reason. With a doctor's order, intervention nurses can evaluate patients in any Lincoln hospital.
To schedule an evaluation, please call 402-481-5268 or 800-742-7845, ext. 15268.
