RECOGNITION OF RESULTS
From The Executive Director
Ashley Miller
2014 Graduate of Lifeline
Client success is amplified by state, national achievements
Lifeline is all about restored lives – the clients who get sober, as well as their return to their families and to their communities.
Nothing exhibits our mission more clearly than those individuals, as shown in this issue’s story featuring Shirley Futrell and her two sons, Jeff and Josh Mohler, both of whom have completed treatment and are celebrating their recovery. (Pages 8-9)
Even our own Billie Preston, director of operations, is expanding our C suite after her own recovery. (Page 12).
Those stories are the reason we are here.
And they are reason enough, but it’s very gratifying when outsiders recognize the value of Lifeline, too.
Just recently:
• Lifeline received its second consecutive three-year accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities following an onsite survey. (Page 11). The surveyor sees centers like ours all over the country, but he named ours in the nation’s top 5, calling our staff “mountain movers” for their tireless work to change the lives of our clients.
• Lifeline is one of 75 Kentucky organizations to be awarded a grant for opioid treatment. (Page 11). Of $19 million awarded statewide, Lifeline received $270,474 for treatment services at the men’s and women’s campuses.
• Three staff members, including two Lifeline graduates, obtained Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor credentials; one passed Licensed Professional Counselor Associate exam and obtained Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor license. These milestones are meaningful because they strengthen our team and reflect the heart of what we do — first, help people rebuild their lives and, then, watch them help others do the same.
This state and national recognition means your Lifeline center is not only getting results, but also performing with excellence.
We are proud of every staff member and every volunteer who works daily to achieve these recognition milestones. We also are grateful to our community who donates most of our operating funds, so we can continue this work.
Lifeline wouldn’t be here without you. And our clients would not be living new lives of sobriety without Lifeline. Thanks be to God!
