How You Can Help
Support The Bridge at Cornhusker Place.
For Cornhusker Place to succeed, we must help change lives. That means changing belief systems, attitudes, and behaviors.
Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight or quit smoking understands the challenge. It takes commitment, an ongoing willingness to look closely at seemingly unimportant actions, and the resolve to say, “I can change. I can become someone new.”
When someone gives up a behavior, it’s important to replace it with new ones. For many, finding the discipline to leave destructive behaviors behind happens only with support: the support of our caring professionals, and of family and friends.
You, too, can play an essential role in the process of rebuilding lives. Without direct support, Cornhusker Place cannot function. You can make certain that compassionate and skilled professionals guide the delicate process of helping people leave a life of addiction—and welcome tomorrow as healthy, sober members of our community.
FILLING LIVES WITH HOPE
Everyone believes in the importance of saving a life. So, when a Lincoln police officer brings an intoxicated person into Cornhusker Place to safely begin detoxification, we all share relief at knowing this woman won’t freeze, huddled overnight in an alley near an open Dumpster.
At Cornhusker Place, we are honored to know that our services reduce jail admissions and the resulting tax burden to our community. Because of Cornhusker Place, admissions to hospital emergency rooms are also reduced.
And we’re relieved that, because the doors to Cornhusker Place remain open, alcohol and other substance abusers aren’t driving the streets of Lincoln with us. We feel safe.
So we’re glad that bringing someone into Civil Protective Custody or Voluntary Medical Detoxification helps in protecting that individual from harm. But each subsequent day is filled with hours and minutes and choices. It’s only through the support our donors provide to Cornhusker Place that we help every person who enters our facility continue to stay sober. Continue to make good choices.
Rehabilitation is a process—and the lives saved through continued substance abuse treatment are as precious to our community as the individual life saved tonight.
You can be sure that tonight, at Cornhusker Place, you have saved another human being from harm. Better, by tomorrow you will have given him hope.
