<p><strong>ABOUT CHI HEALTH – LASTING HOPE RECOVERY CENTER</strong></p> <p>Part of CHI Health — a Nebraska-based organization that operates 15 hospitals and two stand-alone behavioral health facilities — Lasting Hope Recovery Center of Omaha is a <strong>full-scale psychiatric facility for adults struggling with mental illness</strong>. It specializes in treating major depression, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring substance abuse disorders</a> through <strong>crisis intervention and short-term inpatient care</strong>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Upon admission, patients participate in an initial psychiatric assessment through the facility’s assessment center. If requiring crisis intervention and stabilization services, the patient typically will be referred to the facility’s inpatient level of care. </p> <p>Lasting Hope Recovery Center’s approach combines a <strong>trauma-informed model of recovery</strong> that utilizes a range of evidence-based treatment practices. For example, the facility incorporates <a href="http://mentalhealthrecovery.com/" target="_blank">Wellness Recovery Action Plans (WRAP)</a> into programming, which emphasizes skill-building, peer support, crisis plans, and coping techniques. </p> <p>To address substance abuse disorders, Lasting Hope Recovery Center adheres to the <strong>12-Step model of recovery</strong>. Clients with dual diagnosis may attend <strong>on-site 12-step meetings</strong>, study fellowship literature, and perform associated “step-work.” Once a client is stabilized, clinicians help to form <strong><a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">comprehensive aftercare plans</a></strong> with the patient and their family. Aftercare plans may include referrals to outpatient-based programs operated by CHI Health, supportive housing, vocational training opportunities, and other community-based resources.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Lasting Hope Recovery Center’s medical team comprises board-certified psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and psychiatric nurses, as well as masters-level psychotherapists, substance abuse counselors, licensed social workers, and psychiatric technicians.

Yet, another alum rated treatment effectiveness three out of five stars and meals and nutrition only one star and wrote: “This is a money making scheme for CHI, the local healthcare monopoly. It's meant for the unfortunates who get forced against their will into care. Terrible environment.”</p> <p>On Google, where 15 individuals (alumni, loved ones, others) at the time of this writing gave the facility an average rating of 2.6 out of five stars, <strong>feedback was mixed</strong>. <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> A number of reviewers criticized the staff, such as Mary M: “The nurses were rude and if you had questions they acted like you were bothering them.” </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Four loved ones polled by Rehabs.com to date offered <strong>generally positive opinions</strong>.

According to local reports, the man was permitted to leave “without being questioned, stopped or without Lasting Hope even noticing he was gone.” Although the lawsuit was dismissed initially by a district county judge, the state Supreme Court in June 2017 reversed that ruling and <a href="http://www.omaha.com/news/crime/state-supreme-court-reinstates-wrongful-death-lawsuit-against-omaha-psychiatric/article_6c3823c4-5837-11e7-a393-5f11f7b17b48.html" target="_blank">ordered further proceedings</a>.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/YCM1ds" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/YCM1ds</a></small></p>
