Saint Monicas Home – Lincoln

Knowing there is a place that gives people a second chance at life is a true blessing. Helping individuals find sobriety and rebuild their lives is one of the most meaningful things anyone can do. Also, shout out at… C.Leigh Hellbusch ! It's comforting knowing I have her business card in my wallet incase I come across someone struggling, I can actually help make a difference too.

Thanks to them, I have 8 years under my belt. It's behavioral and did me wonders -Morgan Salazar

St. Monica's kicked me out for waking up late too much knowing I'm 8 months pregnant, I have gestational diabetes, chlosisyasis and preclampsya and have no where to go. Then refused to give me my EBT card back a lot of… the things they do are illegal. They thrive off of total control over you and your life. If you make a decision in your life they don't agree with they give a petty excuse to throw you out.

St. Monica's is guilty of hateful conduct towards the LGBTQ community. In the 7 months I attended this program I witnessed 3 queer members get discharged for unethical reasons. In addition to failing to properly provide… medical services while charging insurance for "medical care." Let this be known, hate crimes, falsifying medical documents, and fraud are criminal acts.

This place is horrible. They kicked my mom out for having a mental health breakdown instead of helping her. She was left on the streets till family from a different town could drive down to get her. They didn’t let her… pack up her own things, instead they did packed everything and missed some of her stuff. Takes weeks for them to give you any sort of paper work after being kicked out. They let the other clients bully others to the point where they want to hurt themselves and do nothing to help the victim. They don’t know how to distribute medication, always messing up, not marking down what was given and then say you never took your medication. Nobody that works here is even a doctor so how can they change up your medication without consulting a doctor first? I would not recommend this place to anyone who seriously wants to get help. They will just make your mental health worse and put all the stress on the family members trying to help.

This place changed/saved my life and outlook on life. They have given me the tools I needed to not just survive but live my life to fullest. Best choice I ever made was to come here to learn tools of recovery. I will… continue to use what I learned at St. Monica's for the rest of my life. Thanks!

My daughter Mikayla went through the young womens care program (teenagers) because of a court order. Previously she had been in the Omaha youth center twice & Boys Town but things were getting worse rather than better.… After 4 months @ St. Monica's she came home in November with a new attitude. She now listens & does things she's asked to do. She currently is getting all "A"s in school & has been making all her curfews as well as passing all drug tests. None of things happened before. She is due to get off probation @ 2-marrows court hearing after 3 years. I was told St. Monica's no longer has a program for teenagers but since the woman's program has the same staff I would have to recommend them highly. I would also like to thank them for everything they did to help my daughter.

St. Monica’s is a life saving organization. Of course you will find disgruntled past clients who didn’t agree with aspects of the program for their own reasons but I personally found all the support and encouragement I… needed to get and stay sober (6 years now). The staff were caring, compassionate and trauma informed. They can’t do the work for you but will teach you the skills necessary to help you become sober and be accountable for your own life...if you choose to be. Recovery is a choice, relapse is also a choice. Your life isn’t in anyone’s hands but your own and St. Monica’s is a great first step toward learning how to take better care of the life you’re given.

A pillar in the community, they love their clients and help to support assertive and strong women.

St Monica's was the best decision I've EVER made. It is a hard program, but if you do what you're supposed to be doing IT WORKS!! I've been clean for almost 15 months! I would recommend this program to any female out… there struggling with addiction!

Horrible. They kick clients out for nonsence reasons They fire staff of many many years for caring about clients. they are horrible. they care about their money not patients and recovery
