Frequently Asked Questions

What Can I expect when I come to treatment at Lifeline?
An initial assessment by a chemical dependency professional and our medical staff will determine if you have a need for detoxification.  If detoxification is needed, you will spend an average of 3-5 days in detox.  While there, you will be visited by your therapist and will receive attention as needed by our nursing and other medical staff.  Detox is the first step in stabilization, after which you will begin the residential stage of treatment.

If I have a mental health issues will they be addressed?
Your treatment team will include a psychiatrist and a mental health professional.  They will discuss with you the limits of our treatment for mental health issues.  Consultation with your primary care physician will occur to coordinate your medical needs.  We expect that many of our clients will have depression and anxiety and we will assess and treat as needed.
