WHO WE ARE

For over 30 years, Lifeskills has provided customized, evidence-based mental health treatment and is recognized as a national center of clinical excellence. Lifeskills is dually licensed to treat complex psychiatric, substance use, and process addiction disorders for adults and their families. LEVELS OF CARE:

Detox & Subacute Residential:
In this closely structured and supportive therapeutic environment with 24/7 nursing support, we provide a non-traditional residential program with detox services for higher acuity clients as a stepping-stone to a more traditional residential setting. Residential:
In our residential treatment, clients live in fully furnished and professionally staffed townhomes, allowing them to adapt their new coping skills and practice their daily routines during treatment. Outpatient:
Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP) allow clients to expand their independent living skills while increasing their responsibilities. Transitional Housing:
A FARR Accredited and Level II transitional living community, Osceola House residences allow individuals to step down to semi-independent living while attending our outpatient programming. Family Programming:
When a loved one is suffering from a mental illness or an addiction, family members can find themselves at a loss for direction and overwhelmed with making decisions or finding the right kind of help. We help families find guidance, hope, and peace through a program model that complements recommended ancillary support and provides a comprehensive family recovery program that includes our Family Alliance, Family Weekend (virtual), and Family Therapy components.

Heather Wright spread holiday cheer with our therapy dogs! 🐕 During the season, these furry friends brought joy, comfort, and connection to our clients. At Lifeskills Behavioral Health we believe animal-assisted therapy is a way to support emotional well-being, reduce stress, and foster positive engagement.
