North Sound Treatment Programs Lifeline Connections Provides
North Sound treatment programs
North Sound treatment programs continue to expand. Substance use disorders and mental health conditions continue to rise among Washington State residents and even more so due to the pandemic. Many people feel isolated and unsure if it’s ok to be with friends and loved ones. Others that are in recovery need additional support to prevent relapse.
In the North Sound region, Lifeline Connections has many treatment options to help our friends, family and community members and many of these are available via telehealth; over the phone or a video call.
HARPS: Housing and Recovery through Peer Services
The HARPS Program provides supportive housing services to at-risk individuals through the support of Certified Peer Support Specialists. Those at-risk are adults with a behavioral health diagnosis who experience homelessness or are at-risk for homelessness in Whatcom and Skagit counties.

Problem Gambling Treatment
Anyone can be affected by problem gambling, regardless of age, race or income. The internet, apps on smartphones and local businesses that have gaming devices make it easier than ever to let a fun hobby get out of control. Problem Gambling treatment is confidential and in many cases free.
