Lifeline Connections Vancouver Claimed

About Lifeline Connections Vancouver

Lifeline Connections in Vancouver, Washington, provides substance use and mental health treatments in person or online. They offer medical detox, medication-assisted recovery (MAR) and assessments, case management, and more. Lifeline employs staff who are fluent in American Sign Language.

They accept most insurance plans and will provide you simplified information about your plan’s coverage. You should know, though, that Lifeline Connections doesn’t treat pregnant women or those who need a benzodiazepine taper.

Their inpatient detox services are often the first step in helping clients begin their recovery journey. You’ll stay in one of 16 beds while you go through the withdrawal process. You’ll be closely monitored to make sure you are safe and as comfortable as possible. Medications may be prescribed to minimize withdrawal symptoms. While each person varies, most stay in detox for 3 to 5 days.

If you don’t require detox, you may choose to begin treatment with MAR. Or, this can be a step down level of treatment after detox. MAR uses approved medications to treat opioid cravings and block its effects. Common medications include methadone, naltrexone, Suboxone and buprenorphine. Your provider will go through the different options to guide you to choose what is best for your needs.

Lifeline Connections offers substance use disorder assessments for several hours most business days. They also run a MAR rapid response service to get help to people in urgent need. You can walk in during rapid response times to get immediate treatment. While their hours for this service are limited, I think it’s a great service to offer.

Lifeline also offers peer support and other community-based resources. If you’re leaving incarceration and getting back to your neighborhood, they can provide assistance for any behavioral disorders to ease the transition.
