Life-Line, A Critical Mission
In today’s world, it’s all too common for teens to make bad decisions. Even the best kids – perhaps some you know and love – can lose their way. For 20 years Life-Line has brought hope and healing to thousands of families suffering from substance abuse, depression, family relationship problems, criminal behavior, school problems, pornography, out-of-control and other destructive behaviors that prevent youth from being happy and successful. We help both teens and their families make positive changes for life.
Principles of Trust

At Life-Line, we have developed a set of core values, the Principles of Trust, that our employees live by and teach to the youth through word and example. Trust is essential to our success at Life-Line. It takes a great deal of trust for a parent to place their child in Life-Line. For the youth at Life-Line to gain hope and begin to heal, they must begin to trust the staff, trust the process, and trust themselves. The youth learn to rebuild Trust with their family by applying the "Principles of Trust" and learning to let values guide their choices and improve their relationships by applying the values of Safety, Service, Spirituality, Respect, and Integrity.

A History of Caring
Life-Line was founded in 1990 by a small group of parents and professionals who were concerned about the growing scourge of teen addiction – and the alarmingly high rate of relapse associated with traditional treatments. Over the years, Life-Line has grown to be a strong force in the community. Life-Line serves families whether they live locally or across the nation. It now has provided treatment to thousands of teens and their families and is poised to help more people in more ways than ever before.
A Family-Centered Program

When a teen is in trouble it affects the entire family. Life-Line is about putting families back together again. Life-Line's model is based on the premise that teens recover within the context of their families. At Life-Line, we insist on the strong involvement and support of parents and siblings who are key to long-term success.
