About Lifeline Connections
Lifeline Connections' Orchards (located in East Vancouver) offers a wide range of services aimed at addressing mental health issues and substance use disorders for both young people and adults. The center is conveniently situated near bus lines 7 and 72, and most insurance plans are accepted for treatment.
For younger clients, Lifeline Connections runs programs such as Camp Mariposa® Southwest Washington, a comprehensive initiative designed for youth aged 9-12 who are impacted by a family member's struggle with substance use. This program operates year-round and combines outdoor camp experiences with educational and supportive workshops led by mental health experts, promoting essential life skills, confidence, and understanding.
For adult clients, the Orchards location provides programs like Expanded Community Support (ECS), which extends mental health care to individuals residing in adult family homes and assisted living environments, aiding them in achieving stability and managing their symptoms effectively. Furthermore, the Medication Assisted Recovery (MAR) program offers medication-assisted treatments and supportive services to help those seeking to overcome substance use disorders, reducing withdrawal effects and cravings.
