About Lifeline Connections

Type of Care

1. Mental health treatment

Facility which provides services including therapy or psychotropic medication to treat a person’s mental health issue, reduce symptoms, and improve behavioral functioning and outcomes.

2. Substance use treatment

Refers to a range of services, including problem identification and diagnosis, brief interventions, assessment of substance use and related problems, treatment planning, counseling, medical services, psychiatric services, psychological services, social services, and follow-up for persons with alcohol or other drug problems (Institute of Medicine, 1990).

3. Treatment for co-occurring substance use plus either serious mental health illness in adults/serious emotional disturbance in children

Refers to treatment services intended to help their clients’ ability to function as a result of substance use and/or mental disorders. By definition, serious mental illness is someone over 18 having (within the past year) a diagnosable mental, behavior, or emotional disorder that causes serious functional impairment that substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities. For people under the age of 18, the term ‟Serious Emotional Disturbance” refers to a diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder in the past year, which resulted in functional impairment that substantially interferes with or limits the child’s role or functioning in family, school, or community activities.

Facility Type

1. Outpatient mental health facility

Facility that primarily provides clients/patients who are able to receive less than 24-hour outpatient mental health services for generally less than 3 hours at a single visit. Services are provided on an individual, group, or family basis and usually in a clinic or similar facility. A psychiatrist generally assumes the medical responsibility for all clients/patients or direction of the mental health treatment.

Treatment Approaches

1. Individual psychotherapy

Focuses on a patient's current life and relationships within the family, social, and work environments through one-on-one conversations with a therapist. The goal is to identify and resolve problems with insight, as well as build on strengths.

2. Group therapy

Involves groups of usually 4 to 12 people who have similar problems and who meet regularly with a therapist. The therapist uses the emotional interactions of the group's members to (1) help them get relief from distress and (2) possibly modify their behavior.

3. Cognitive behavioral therapy

Involves recognizing unhelpful patterns of thinking and reacting, and then modifying or replacing these with more realistic or helpful ones. The therapy can be conducted with individuals, families, or groups, and clients are generally expected to be active participants in their own therapy.

4. Integrated Mental and Substance Use Disorder treatment

Provides combined treatment for mental illness and substance abuse from the same clinician or treatment team. Effective integrated treatment programs view recovery as a long-term, community-based process. The approach employs counseling designed especially for those with co-occurring disorders.

Medications are often prescribed in conjunction with counseling or support groups to provide the best chance for achieving long-term smoking abstinence. (http://www.mayoclinic.com)
