Grounded by the solid belief that every person has the ability to recover, CenterPointe makes pivotal treatment available for people suffering from mental health and substance use disorders.

Meeting people where they are and supporting them to gain control of their lives is what CenterPointe aims to do.

By treating the whole person, mental health and addiction can be addressed together in real-time. This holistic approach, combined with open arms and open minds, distinctly sets CenterPointe apart.

We constantly push boundaries to find better ways to help people be well and never give up on the value of life.

We offer a full continuum of care - treatment, rehabilitation, and housing - for individuals who are experiencing homelessness and/or are low-income. Community support is essential in helping us make this care available.

Fast Facts

History – CenterPointe began in 1973 as Lincoln Lancaster Drug Projects, also known as Full Circle. This was one of the first programs in the nation to offer integrated substance use and mental health care in the 1980s. We added housing services during the 1990s.

Mission – CenterPointe helps the people we serve get better, sooner, for longer.

Treatment Philosophy – Here at CenterPointe, we use a bio-psycho-social treatment model to address mental illness and addiction at the same time and on equal terms. We do not use a 12-step treatment model but encourage people to connect with a 12-step self-help group if they find it helpful to their ongoing recovery.

Who we serve – We serve women, men, teens, and veterans. The majority of CenterPointe consumers experience both severe and persistent mental illness and addiction issues. Nearly every individual CenterPointe serves has very low or no income when they enter our programs.

Homelessness – More than 50% of people are experiencing homeless when they come into outpatient services. Everyone served in housing programs is experiencing homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Programs – CenterPointe provides 35+ programs in the areas of treatment, rehabilitation, housing, and crisis response. Programs work together to provide individualized care appropriate to each person.

Accreditation – CenterPointe is CARF accredited and has received full 3-year accreditation on its last 3 surveys.
