Integrated Medical and Mental Health Care

Lifeline Connections – Main Campus in Vancouver, Washington, provides coordinated treatment for both substance use and mental health disorders. Programs combine counseling, medications for addiction treatment (MAT), and psychiatric medication management, alongside onsite primary care. Evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and trauma-informed care are paired with holistic supports like animal-assisted therapy, creating multiple pathways for healing.

Men’s Residential Community

The men’s residential program provides personalized care with typical stays lasting 28 to 90 days. Residents participate in individual and group therapy, educational workshops, fitness, and recreational activities. Structured daily routines are designed to build coping strategies while fostering peer connection and accountability for sustained recovery after discharge.

Flexible Outpatient Options

For adults and youth who need less intensive care or step-down support, outpatient programs include counseling for individuals and families, case management, and peer mentoring. Co-occurring care addresses substance use along with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD. Telehealth expands access for those with transportation or scheduling barriers, and programming also supports justice-involved individuals preparing for community reentry.

Long-Term Support and Accessibility

Transportation assistance, housing support, vocational counseling, and peer recovery coaching help clients rebuild stability in daily life. Health education, suicide prevention, and tobacco cessation services extend beyond treatment. Aftercare planning, naloxone education, and follow-up services ensure clients remain connected to recovery resources, while sign language services make programs accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
