Providing Hope for More Than 50 Years

CenterPointe’s history began in 1973, when community members formed Lincoln Lancaster Drug Projects in response to growing concerns about substance use.

As community needs evolved, so did CenterPointe. The organization became an early leader in integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders and expanded its services to include housing, crisis response, street outreach, psychiatric care, primary healthcare, and peer support.

In 2018, CenterPointe expanded into Omaha through our Campus for Hope, providing residential treatment and growing outpatient behavioral health services. Our Campus for Health and WellBeing opened in Lincoln in 2023, creating a comprehensive hub for integrated healthcare, behavioral health services, and supportive housing.

Today, CenterPointe provides more than 40 programs across Lincoln and Omaha, delivering whole-person healthcare that helps people get better, sooner, for longer.
