BEHIND THE SCENES

Investment in staff and curriculum promote more successful outcomes in changed lives FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

By the grace of God, Lifeline has literal volumes of success stories. You see them in each issue of this magazine and regularly on our social media pages. Those changed lives are the true faces of our mission.

Ashley Miller 2014 Graduate of Lifeline

However, to create those successful outcomes, our leadership, staff and volunteers continually work behind the scenes to improve our recovery program. Just in the last six months since our fall issue of this publication, we have made huge strides to improve the lives of our clients. Thanks to incredible financial and volunteer support from our community, Lifeline has recently made these advances:

• New electronic health records software, allowing us to make the major transition from paper copy records to more efficient electronic health records. This improvement saves staff time and promotes better health care. We have found that it improves all aspects of our patient-centered care, including safety, communication, education, timeliness, efficiency and equity.

• New evidence-based curriculum, with the goal of improved patient outcomes by using proven methods. Our clients can expect to receive the best available care. We use content that has been shown to be successful, meaning we have a program that we know works.

• Additional staff members to meet standards set by the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Five additional staff at the women’s campus, and 10 additional at the men’s campus allowed us to shift schedules from 48-hour overnight shifts to 8-hour shifts. This means our staff can be home with their families every day, reducing their stress and improving their productivity. Also, the additional staff provides more time to help our clients reach their goals.

• The addition of professional staff, providing new clinical services to our clients. Credentials of our new full-time counselor, three part-time counselors and a part-time clinical director raise the standards of our recovery program. Our 70+ clients benefit from having family counseling to help heal not just our clients, but also their children and extended families.

These investments, totaling more than $500,000, were made possible by growing support from individuals and organizations who believe in our mission. If you’d like to know how you or your group can help Lifeline continue to grow to meet the needs of those fighting addiction, please contact me at amiller@lifelinerecoverycenter.org

Ashley Miller, Executive Director

Leadership considers future capital needs to serve more clients FAITH

AND ACTION

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls us to simple faith in him. Striving to follow Christ in faith guides much of the Lifeline leadership, as we seek to provide a healing experience for those seeking recovery from addiction.

Faith and action are necessary, indeed, as we consider the Facilities portion of our long-term strategic plan, which challenges us to establish a funding plan to accommodate our current number of clients and to expand the number of clients we can serve.

We began four years ago addressing those needs and have since built two new dormitories, but our plans are far from over.

As we plan budgets through 2025, we are evaluating maintenance costs and discussing capital fundraising needs for new projects to serve both men’s and women’s campuses.

Our brand is growing, and more and more clients are graduating and remaining sober. We have a vision to reach more clients.

That vision moves us to act, as Jesus instructed in Matthew 7:7. We are prayerfully considering and studying just exactly what to ask, how to

seek and why to knock. When we have finalized those plans with God’s help, we will be excited to share them with you.

The Lord continues to open doors. Look for the blessings to come in 2022, and how you may get involved to offer our healing mission to more who need us.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

Our success in realizing our mission will be measured by the extent to which we achieve the following:

ENDLESS BLESSINGS

Malcom James celebrates new life with giving back

Talk about changed lives.

Whew, Malcom James is one.

The 31-year-old from Marshall County acknowledges he used to be a selfish, “up to no good,” man. Today, he said, “I no longer want to destroy, but to build up.”

The change happened in 2021, when he went through the three-phase recovery program at Lifeline.

Through more than a decade of addiction, including seven overdoses, and multiple stints in jail, Malcom had always refused rehab. In late 2020, he and his self-described “addiction buddy” Scottie Anderson decided together it was time to give it a try.

“We were both at rock bottom,” he said, “and all we had was each other.”

transitional unit, while he worked days for a treecutting service and helped new clients at night as a house monitor and Bible class teacher.

He feels stronger and ready to live on his own for the first time in his life. “I’ve learned to avoid situations that would get me back in trouble again,” he said. As he works toward his goal of getting his own place, he’s committed to continuing to help Lifeline men succeed. “We just know it works,” he said. “You have to get all you can from each phase.”

Meanwhile, with his friend Scottie and himself doing well, the two are committed to paying forward the blessings they have received. “We beat the odds,” Malcom said. “We both made it.”

While they had grown up in Marshall County, they didn’t know each other until after high school when they were in addiction together.

Later, each faced criminal charges and jail sentences. “I had put everyone – my family, my employer – through the wringer. I knew I needed faith-based rehab, so I agreed to go with Scottie to Lifeline.”

Malcom is grateful for the positive influence of Scottie during recovery. “He wouldn’t let me leave. Together, we just gave it our all at Lifeline,” he said. The two even put on a ping pong tournament, raising $5,000 for Toys for Tots, as they celebrated their October 2021 graduation.

Malcom credits Lifeline and God with his sobriety. “You can be sober without Lifeline, but you can’t be sober without Jesus Christ,” he said. “This program introduced me back to Jesus Christ, and the blessings have been endless.”

After graduation, Malcom moved into Lifeline’s

“I no longer want to destroy, but to build up.”

CELEBRATING 15 YEARS

Graduates mark women’s recovery program success with stories of changed lives

In 2007, opioid addiction was raging, heroin was making a comeback and meth was a mainstay among substance abusers. That year, 22.3 million were estimated to be addicts. The addiction landscape shows why it was

Executive director Ashley Miller, herself a 2014 graduate of Lifeline, now leads the program.

“I was once right where they are,” Ashley said, “so I am able to connect with them on a personal level to give them guidance from a nonjudgmental place.”

Ashley said the center’s goal is to grow its capacity, so more people can experience the change she has. “Nothing brings me more joy than to see them change their lives and restore their families.”

As the center works with an eye to the future, we also celebrate the hundreds of lives changed during the last 15 years. See three of their stories, along with a special volunteer who has served since the beginning, on pages 7-10.

necessary then to start Ladies Living Free, a Paducah residential recovery program for women. Today’s 53 million illicit drug users and abusers, or 165 million addicts if alcohol abuse is included, make the program even more relevant. Lifeline began as a men’s program in 2004 and added the women’s program in 2007. The two, already operating under the direction of one board, rebranded together as Lifeline Recovery Center in 2020.

Terrye Peeler, one of the founders of the women’s program and retired executive director, recalls the urgency in 2007:

“2007 was such a critical time to finally get a much-needed faith-based drug and alcohol rehab for women in our community,” Terrye said. “From the first group to the current group of ladies, I have witnessed God’s hand forever changing lives that once seemed lost and hopeless.”

Classes and other program features:

• Group and individual counseling

• Life skills training

• Parenting

• Anger management

• Bible study

• Nutrition

• Money management

• Fitness

• Volunteer opportunities at Cassidy’s Cause and Starfish Orphan Ministry

“2007 was such a critical time to finally get a much-needed faithbased drug and alcohol rehab for women in our community,” Terrye said.

BECKY PRITCHETT

In 2007, Becky was sitting in jail as a meth addict. Her mother had her children, and Becky remembers not even caring.

“I didn’t want to change, I just wanted to stay high,” she said.

Meanwhile, her husband Thomas had entered Lifeline’s men’s program in March and was sending letters to her in jail. “I could see a change in him,” she said.

Thomas told her a new program was

starting for women in May, so she entered in the first group.

“If not for (Lifeline), we wouldn’t be here. I think a lot of people can say the same thing,” she said.

Both sober for 15 years, they own their home in Marshall County and are the proud parents of four. “I don’t even think about our life back then. I have to remind

myself where we came from because we have totally different lives.”

She works for Top Quality Consignment, a job she began while in the program, and he worked in construction before becoming a truck driver. “I know we wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t had that opportunity at Lifeline and come to know God,” she said.

Women who attended or served at the women’s campus since 2007 are invited to a private celebration May 27.

“I know we wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t had that opportunity at Lifeline and come to know God,” said Becky.

NANCY WEBB

Nancy, of Livingston County, was in Lifeline’s second women’s group, graduating in 2008. Like Becky, she had been jailed for meth.

“While I was in jail, I told the jailer I needed a program for help.” She started in the jail’s Alcoholics Anonymous program; but when she was paroled and homeless, she sought out Lifeline.

“I needed a faith-based program to allow me to learn more about God. I had time there to eat, sleep and breathe God – it felt so free and clean!” she said.

The residential program kept her off drugs while she was able to grow stronger. “I’m afraid I might have gone back into the same mess if I’d been homeless,” she said. “They gave me hope.”

Lifeline also gave her a new direction. The volunteer program placed her at Goodwill, where she remains today. She has worked her way up through its “Second Chance” program to a management position and hopes to join Goodwill’s Career Services program to help others. “I can share my story with others, telling them I’ve been in your shoes, and there is hope.”

The program at Lifeline helped her acclimate to a new life. While Lifeline celebrates its anniversary, Nancy is celebrating one of her own –“I’m 15 years clean!”

“I’m afraid I might have gone back into the same mess if I’d been homeless,” said Nancy.

KEISHA HOPKINS

The camaraderie of other women going through the program at the same time was like “a healing balm to my soul,” said Keisha of her 2010 experience at Lifeline.

A Calvert City native, she had been “addicted to a little bit of everything, including prescription medicine,” she said.

When she began the group recovery program, her life changed. “It began the moment I was able to get honest with myself about the trauma I’d been through. When I spilled my story, that’s when the healing began as I connected with other women in the room with me.”

She realized her pain and shame from sexual trauma had led to her addiction. She had struggled with wanting to end her life.

“That’s where the whole shift in my world happened – at Lifeline. I don’t know where I’d be without it – probably dead.” Instead, she reunited with her husband and two sons, and began her holistic health business, Stellar Sounds. She even served a stint on the Lifeline board of directors.

The Women’s Campus is made up of:

“I am awestruck to see what God has done in my life,” said Keisha.

Brenda Grooms’ Bible class helps women begin recovery

Since the women’s program began in 2007, new clients have seen the same face at the head of one of their key classes.

Volunteer Brenda Grooms has led every session of “Walk of Repentance” – a weekly session in the first quarter curriculum for every woman.

anticipating what this program will do for them.”

Then, they begin talking and reading the Bible. “I’ll ask them to share something like saying one thing they love about their parents. That gets them talking and sharing with each other.”

Not every client joins in right away, but she reminds herself of the Biblical charge not to judge others. “Some may argue or resist, they don’t like the authority,” she said.

“It’s about repenting when you sin,” she said. “Repentance is not just a one-time thing. We fall short every day, so we ask for the Lord’s forgiveness. And he always does because he’s the God of second chances.”

Even after 15 years, Grooms, a Paducah realtor, is amazed with the change she sees in the clients after three months.

“They come in looking pitiful and sad,” she said. “They’re usually scared. They’ve lost their children, their marriages are torn up. But they’re

However, by the end of the class, most show a remarkable change. “By the end, you don’t recognize them. They seem to understand. The Bible comes alive to them. Their countenance is different. It’s amazing! It’s why I love to do it, to see the new beginnings in them!

Brenda never planned to be involved in a recovery program.

“I did not know anyone in addiction. I tell them I don’t know where you’ve been, but I sympathize with you. Even cigarettes was a hard addiction to break for me!”

She has kept up with many former clients. “They come back. They always hug me and love me, they really appreciate it. That thankfulness is the reward we get,” she said.

“By the end, you don’t recognize them. They seem to understand. The Bible comes alive to them,” said Brenda.

People of color face unique challenges in treatment RECOVERY

The opioid epidemic is well-documented, but most attention seems to focus on white suburban and rural victims. Meanwhile, people of color have experienced dramatic increases in opioid misuse and overdose deaths, but they often encounter barriers to treatment and recovery.

The problem

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the rate of increase of Black drug overdose deaths from 2015 to 2016 was 40 percent, compared to the overall population increase of 21 percent. From 2011 to 2016, Blacks had the highest increase in overdose death rate secondary for opioids, such as fentanyl and fentanyl analogs.

Drugs most commonly used by people of color are alcohol, cocaine (crack), opiates, marijuana and methamphetamine.

The barriers

Major challenges for people of color to enter treatment include:

• The stigma within their culture. Many consider substance misuse as a private matter that should be kept within the family.

• Lack of finances, employment, housing or health insurance.

• The fear of racially motivated policing practices. Data show that people of color continue to be disproportionately arrested, convicted and incarcerated for drug-related charges. This bias causes people of color to protect themselves by hiding their substance abuse and not seeking treatment.

BARRIERS

JOHN W. BRAZZELL, M.D. Volunteer Medical Consultant at Lifeline Medical director at Kentucky Care, Paducah

• Encourage people of color, as well as people of all races, to seek help for addiction, seeing help as a sign of strength, not weakness.

• Increase awareness in the legal and judicial system, opting for less incarceration and more drug treatment.

• Expand multicultural staff in treatment centers, so people of color can benefit from having people who understand cultural differences as part of their treatment team.

• Offer spirituality and faith-based recovery programs as key sources of strength for more positive outcomes.

“The staff at Lifeline Recovery Center stands as passionate allies for people of color. Our affordable residential treatment is available for all people regardless of color, ethnicity, gender or faith.”

Beavers believes Lifeline support provides wide community impact

Teresa and Bob Beavers of Crittenden County believe their regular donations to Lifeline have a similar effect to a pebble tossed into a pond –the ripples just grow wider and wider.

“Lifeline doesn’t just change a person,” Teresa said. “That person’s change affects their children, their whole family, even the community. It can truly break the chain of addiction. That’s why we believe there’s nothing better to spend your money on.”

As community-wide as their support goes, it began with a very personal story – their son.

“Our son had drug problems,” Teresa said. “He was in jail, and I happened to be looking at the newspaper and saw one of the first articles about Lifeline. As a strong Christian, I was very interested in the faith-based approach.”

When Teresa told her son about the nearby option, he asked the court to refer him for rehab.

“The judge sentenced him there for the rest of his sentence, so he stayed 13-14 months, which allowed him to mentor new men coming in. We found the duration and the aftercare to be wonderful for his recovery!”

Addiction is so painful, Teresa said, for the whole family. “It put me on my knees in prayer,” she said. “It’s a very difficult road, but Jesus is there for us. That’s what’s so marvelous about Lifeline – they point them to God.”

Reconnecting with God through the experience changed her son’s life. “It’s so good to see him completely turned around. Now he’s very active in his church, he’s a supervisor on his job, he’s doing very well and taking care of his family.”

The Beavers have stayed faithful to their Lifeline giving plan because they believe in its work. “Lifeline gave so much to us,” she said, “that we just can’t be thankful enough.

“It’s so good to see him completely turned around. Now he’s very active in his church, he’s a supervisor on his job, he’s doing very well and taking care of his family,” said Teresa.

‘RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD’

Donor supports recovery to extend the love of Christ

With a career in the insurance business, Jared Morgan knows a thing or two about risks and mistakes. That gives him the perfect awareness for the need and value of Lifeline’s commitment to addiction recovery.

“There’s a value crisis in our society,” said Jared, owner of Paducah Insurance Agency and American Church Group of Kentucky.

“People find themselves in challenging family environments, and the deck may be stacked against them,” he said. “Society could say, ‘Sorry about your luck,’ but Lifeline steps in and says, ‘Not only do we care about you, we want to help you.’ “

His connection with Lifeline began several years ago as its insurance agent, but it has expanded beyond a strictly business relationship.

First, as the insurer of many churches and religious non-profit organizations, he had to choose from their many fundraising requests carefully. “Obviously, we can’t support everyone we’d like to,” he said, “but Lifeline’s work is something special for our community.”

So he became a regular sponsor at the annual golf tournament.

Then, he saw Lifeline’s mission up close. Jared and his wife Joni fostered a child after the boy’s birth mom entered Lifeline as part of her treatment after a DUI accident with her child in the car.

“This is where the rubber meets the road for a Christian,” said Jared, a deacon at Benton Church of Christ.

He and Joni then adopted him as their fourth child, now their precious 4-year-old son, Chance. He has visited the Lifeline campus as its insurance agent to assess storm damage, and he has learned about the recovery process from a friend who is in Alcoholics Anonymous.

“I have become really aware of the toll addiction takes,” he said, “and I admire Lifeline for running a tight ship. They are fair, but with high expectations. And they care. They offer the love of Christ to help people find their way.”

“Lifeline’s work is something special for our community.”
