About Us

our Treatment Philosophy


LifeLine for Youth is a family-focused, treatment program that creates positive change using an evidenced-based, therapeutic community model and is strongly supported by empirical research. A multi-disciplinary team approach integrates education, individualized treatment planning, individual, group, and family therapy, health and nutrition, recreational activities, and a structured aftercare/transition program. LifeLine is a research-based and proven alternative to other popular approaches like teen boot camps, therapeutic boarding schools for teens, or troubled youth wilderness programs.
At LifeLine, we believe that the best treatment we can offer is a seamless integration of therapy, education, and recreation. Our multi-disciplinary team meets to discuss the needs of each student so proper growth and learning can be addressed in all aspects of the program–not just therapy sessions.
