About Life Treatment Centers

Life Treatment Center (LTC) is a community-based organization that offers outpatient services and supportive housing for adults who are struggling with drug or alcohol dependencies. They believe in working collaboratively with their clients to create treatment plans that are best for them. The primary principles of how they operate are founded on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous. Their outpatient program is 7 months long and includes psychoeducation, group counseling, relapse prevention counseling and aftercare. While Life Treatment Centers does not offer medication, they encourage and allow the use of medication to assist in treating substance use disorders. To facilitate further growth and recovery, they offer specialized groups for women, veterans and those who struggle with gambling. The price of services at LTC are on a sliding scale, depending on the individual’s income. They also accept Medicaid and Anthem insurances.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Life Treatment Centers provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Life Treatment Centers offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 4 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as Group Therapy and Relapse Prevention Counseling) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Life Treatment Centers works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
