NOVA Treatment Community

What NOVA Treatment Community does

NOVA Treatment Community is a Nebraska-based nonprofit organization operating from a single campus at 8502 Mormon Bridge Road in Omaha, where it provides an integrated continuum of substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorder treatment, foster care placement, and in-home services for families involved in the child welfare system. Its core programs include a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) for dually diagnosed adolescents ages 13-18, an Adult Therapeutic Community (TC) program with typical 4-6 month stays, an Adult Short-Term Residential program with 30-90 day stays, Foster Care services across 8 Nebraska counties, In-Home Services for supervised visitation and family support, and the NOVA Alternative School providing educational continuity with a wellness curriculum. The PRTF operates under a medical model with licensed clinicians, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, and onsite nursing, while the adult programs use the Therapeutic Community model — a structured environment where members serve as positive role models and participate in managing the community. CARF International accreditation has been maintained continuously since 1999, with maximum 3-year accreditation cycles in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2017.

Revenue is generated through a multi-payer model: Nebraska Medicaid and Magellan Behavioral Health reimbursements, Criminal Justice Vouchers, private insurance and sliding-fee-scale private pay, federal SAMHSA grants (B08TI087052 and B08TI085820), Region 6 Behavioral Health state funding, Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Division of Behavioral Health and Children and Family Services contracts, Title 1 funding from Omaha Public Schools, and individual donations via an online portal. Customer segments include adolescents 13-18 with dual diagnoses, adults with primary substance use disorders, foster families licensed across 8 Nebraska counties, biological families pursuing reunification, and priority populations such as pregnant substance users and women with dependent children. Lead generation is referral-driven through professional referrals, criminal justice system vouchers, walk-in inquiries, and community outreach for foster parent recruitment.
