The Bridge Behavioral Health is a long-standing program in Lincoln, NE that provides medical detoxification services for individuals who are heavily intoxicated. However, due to a locked-door policy, the program is at risk of losing funding and potentially closing down. This could result in intoxicated individuals being left on the streets or incarcerated, leading to higher costs for taxpayers.
The program, located at 721 K St., has been a vital resource for the community, offering an alternative to jail for those in need of detoxification. However, discussions with state officials have raised concerns about the locked-door policy, which may lead to the loss of funding and the closure of the program. This has sparked debates about the over-regulation of involuntary civil protective custody and the potential negative consequences for both the state and the local community.
