LifeSpring Health Systems - Project 180

LifeSpring Health Systems is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Community Mental Health Center founded in 1964 as a small outpatient clinic for children in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and has grown to become the premier provider of comprehensive behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, primary care, and related services across 11 counties in southern Indiana, operating over 25 facilities and serving more than 14,000 individuals annually.

With a mission 'to improve and sustain the quality of life in our communities by providing comprehensive behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, primary care and related services,' LifeSpring upholds the values that 'it is our privilege to serve, with the highest quality of care, in a professional and fiscally responsible manner.' As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) since 2015, LifeSpring employs a team of physicians, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, counselors, and support staff who use an integrated, evidence-based care model to tailor specific programs for each individual, treating the whole patient through education, prevention, assessment, intervention, and treatment.

Services encompass individual and group outpatient therapy, psychiatric and nursing care, crisis stabilization via 24/7 call centers and mobile teams, residential programs including supervised group living and transitional homes, recovery campuses with medically supervised detoxification and sub-acute units, children and families services for ages 4-17, school-based health services, veterans-specific support, open access walk-ins, problem gambling treatment, transportation assistance, and self-management classes, all provided regardless of ability to pay via a sliding fee scale based on income and family size, ensuring no one is turned away due to financial constraints, insurance status, race, disability, or other factors.

LifeSpring fosters strong partnerships with medical, social service, educational, governmental, faith-based, and community organizations to deliver the least restrictive, most supportive care, promoting long-term recovery, community safety, and holistic wellness for underserved populations, including those with co-occurring disorders, homeless individuals, and at-risk youth and families.

Addictions

Clinicians treat a broad spectrum of substance use disorders, focusing heavily on alcohol and drug abuse recovery. Alongside conventional addiction programming, the organization is also state-certified to provide specialized care for problem gambling.

Alcohol Use Disorder

Conditions

Behavioral health services here address complex diagnoses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression. The clinical team uses an integrated care model to support clients facing serious co-occurring mental illnesses alongside their addictions.

Issues

Care extends far beyond clinical diagnoses to address severe life stressors like housing insecurity and family conflict. Through initiatives like the PATH Program, staff actively support individuals experiencing homelessness or returning from the justice system.

Programs

Specialized programming at LifeSpring Health Systems includes dedicated Veteran services led by clinicians trained through the Star Behavioral Health network. The organization also oversees Supervised Group Living homes, fostering independence within a safe, structured community.

On-site

Amenities

The Integrated Treatment Center features a bright, modern 10,000-square-foot environment designed specifically for outpatient healing. For higher-intensity needs, the newly opened 24-bed Hope Center provides a fully staffed, safe space for residential care.

Coverage

Payment

Financial constraints do not prevent access to care here, thanks to a generously discounted sliding fee scale based entirely on household income. In addition to accommodating self-pay patients, the organization accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP plans.
