Lifeline Connection can accomplish the following...

Begin ministry to those who are incarcerated/unable to function responsibly because of their addiction, referring and assisting them to go on to a long-term residential program, as alternate sentencing or choice of will. (Daily preoccupation; Using or practicing just to feel normal)

Provide relevant ministry to those that are reasonably functional in spite of their addiction. This allows the client to be responsible for daily necessities. The client needs to make a commitment to receive help and hope through the support groups and caring relationships with Lifeline staff. (Experimentation; Social use)

Provide effective ministry to families of those with life-controlling issues,offering encouragement and boundaries and allowing families to work through issues together, as a family

Provide effective follow-up to those clients that have completed long-term recovery programs, providing continued positive peer choice, accountability, boundaries, and consistency.
