Counseling and Psychological Services offer one-on-one counseling related to a wide range of alcohol and drug issues.
The level of treatment provided at CAPS has two common names that are used interchangeably: “level one” and “outpatient counseling.”

Substance use evaluations help provide a treatment plan. CAPS provides this service free of charge for students currently enrolled at UNO. The screening tool we use is called the ASI (Addiction Severity Index) which is accepted by the Criminal Justice System.
For students needing an assessment for court/probation related incidences, UNO charges $75. Substance use assessment is generally done at the first session in the alcohol and drug counseling process.
Court/Probation Referred Substance Use Counseling
Level one (outpatient) substance use counseling is available at UNO for students required to participate in this level of treatment.
A flat fee $75 is required.
To make an appointment, please call 402.554.2409 and request to meet with a counselor related to substance use treatment. Our services are confidential for adults 19 and older.
Students under the age of 18 will be asked to complete a consent to treat form to be signed by a parent or guardian.
Substance Use Disorder Counseling
CAPS provides one-on-one counseling treating substance use disorders. A substance use evaluation can help determine the level of care (e.g. outpatient, intensive outpatient, residential).
In the event that a higher level of care is recommended, counselors at CAPS will help students connect with community partners to help serve their counseling needs.
Co-Occurring Disorders Counseling
Co-occurring disorders refer to individuals who have a mental health diagnosis as well as a substance use disorder.
Best results are achieved when the mental health disorder and substance use disorder are treated simultaneously. This occurs by receiving care from a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed substance abuse counselor or a dual licensed mental health/substance abuse counselor.
Loved Ones and Substance Use or Co-Occurring Disorder
Growing up in a household where one or more members struggled with a substance use disorder can impact thoughts, emotions, reactions, and future relationships.
CAPS provides counseling that can assist with unhealthy patterns that have developed with the goal to create new healthy relationships.
Tobacco Use
Students wanting to seek treatment for smoking cessation are encouraged to set up an appointment with Nate Bock at 402.554.2409.
Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other in order to recover from alcoholism. There are no dues or fees for AA membership. This organization is self-supporting through members own contributions.
AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution. The primary purpose of AA is to stay sober and help others to achieve sobriety.
