CHAMP Helps Long-Time Patients Transition from the State Hospital

In October of 2000, Community Hope and our partner agency, Comprehensive Behavioral Healthcare, established a pilot program specifically for individuals who have become “institutionalized” after years of hospitalization. One-third of the initial residents of the program known as, CHAMP (Care and Hope At Morris Plains), were hospitalized at Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital for more than twenty (20) years. Today, individuals once reluctant to leave the institution have made incredible progress.

Then-Acting Governor and current Senate President Richard Codey (left) tours the CHAMP Program with CH Board President Carmela Lunt and Executive Director J. Michael Armstrong in August 2005.

The 10-bed CHAMP Pilot has since significantly expanded into the CHAMP and Partnership Program, specializing in serving former Greystone patients who are reluctant to leave the hospital even when they have progressed beyond the need for care at that level.

Located on and adjacent to the Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital campus, the CHAMP and Partnership Programs include:

A day treatment program with specialized services, including MICA recovery services for individuals with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders.
Fourteen residences providing a homelike environment and 24-hour staffing for 73 former Greystone patients.
