OREM Lifeline, a not-for-profit corporation that treats youth with compulsive behavior, celebrated the opening of their new facilities with a ribbon cutting cut-ting ceremony. JUhe second facility in Utah is located at 1197 S. 1480 West in Orem. The highly structured, twelve-step Lifeline program is spiritually-based and requires a long-term commitment of approximately ap-proximately nine months. ' "We spend the time to help kids build self esteem," said Gloria Wright, intake coordinator coordina-tor for Lifeline. "Through the love and support of counselors and their peers, we teach them honesty, accountability and communication com-munication skills." 1 . ' LifeLine treatment consists of five levels called phases. Each phase has a general time period during which certain goals must be met by the child, parents and other family members. While the minimum time require-, ments for each phase must be met by each patient, these can be lengthened to accommodate for each individuals spiritual and emotional growth. . - The first phase helps make the individual aware of the issues is-sues that are causing disruption in their life. It is also a time in which to make amends. While the first phase takes at least 45 , days to complete, it consists of three parts. The focus of this phase is honesty. - "Honesty is a huge part," Wright said. "Secrets have power. We try to get to the core of the issue with the young people. Drugs, gangs, sexual activities, ac-tivities, running away, these are all just symptoms of the core problem." , The second phase, working on family relationships and dynamics, dynam-ics, has a minimum time frame of 14 days. This phase offers the program's participants earned privileges over that of phase one. The third phase is the same as phase two, but includes more earned privileges. The focus of this phase is to prepare the individuals in-dividuals to return to school or attend open meetings twice a week and participate in parent and sibling groups.
