About us

HISTORY
Then to Now
Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Services began in 2017 with a simple mission—providing bus passes and hygiene supplies to individuals seeking help. What started small has grown into a comprehensive Recovery Community Organization. In 2020, we opened our first Recovery Network Center, which now serves as a central hub for peer-driven support and holistic recovery services.
Today, Lifeboat offers a wide range of programs, including Peer Recovery Coaching, transportation to and from recovery-related appointments, access to a fully equipped computer lab, and regular multiple pathway recovery meetings. We assist individuals in obtaining vital records, provide professional development opportunities, and conduct outreach to Lansing’s unhoused shelters. In addition, we are proud to support harm reduction efforts through ongoing Naloxone distribution.
No matter how much we’ve grown, our core remains the same: we are people in recovery, helping others find recovery.
Actually, 100% of Lifeboat's Staff Members and Board of Directors are people in recovery!
