What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Lifeline Connections

Lifeline Connections is a substance use treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Bellingham, Washington. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 3 primary care modalities (outpatient, detox, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 4120 Meridian Street, Suite 220, Bellingham, WA 98226.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 12 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Detoxification, Intensive outpatient, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth, and 1 more), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 7 clinical treatment approaches (Brief intervention, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy, Trauma-related counseling). It serves 4 specific population groups (Adolescents, Justice-involved individuals, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with co-occurring disorders) with 1 language of care (Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing).
