At LifeLine, the goal is permanent recovery from drugs & alcohol, success, well being, and happiness in life. In order to achieve that goal, we ensure a safe, structured environment where all residents have the opportunity to succeed.

LifeLine is not for everyone. We are not the place for someone who is not 100% serious about long term success. We interview each potential resident and assess their willingness, character, and determine whether or not they will be a good fit for our program. In the event that LifeLine is not the place for you, then we will give you some referrals.

Our Minimum Requirements for Admission to LifeLine:

1. Commitment to stay at least 6 months. You may stay longer.

2. Complete abstinence from all mind & mood altering substances. This includes drugs, alcohol, prescription drugs (certain medical exceptions can be made), etc. We do drug & alcohol screening 2-3 times per week, and all screens are sent to the lab for verification. We ensure that you will have a safe and sober place to recover, and we discharge immediately with zero tolerance for a failed drug or alcohol screen.

3. Willingness to learn how to stay clean & sober through the 12 Steps of Recovery.

4. You must be willing to get a "sponsor", which is a person who will guide you through the 12 Steps of recovery. We expect everyone to have a sponsor within 1 week. One-on-one work with a sponsor is the most important part of your recovery. We will help you learn what to look for in a sponsor, and assist you in finding one if needed.

5. Willingness to explore your spiritual self. We understand that addicts and alcoholics are spiritually sick, and the 12 Step Program offers a solution that will heal mind, body and spirit.

6. Complete willingness to follow all rules and directions. LifeLine is a structured living environment that provides all residents with the opportunity to live life to the fullest, but learn to live with structure and accountability. We will discharge anyone who does not follow the rules, for the safety and well being of those who are serious about long term recovery.

7. You must either have a job, actively seeking employment, be attending an outpatient program, or be participating in community service or volunteer work during the day. Part of the structure of receovery is learning to fill our day with worthwile and productive activies. Even if your program fees are being paid by family or outside resources, you will be required to be productive and self sufficient at LifeLine.
