Our Services

---

You can meet one-on-one with certified professionals who have lived experience in recovery and are trained to support you in building your own roadmap to wellness. 

Our Peer Recovery Coaches understand the challenges you face because they’ve been there—and they’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

A Peer Recovery Coach can help you:

• Identify meaningful goals in your life
• Break those goals down into actionable steps
• Recognize potential barriers to success
• Connect with resources and support to overcome those challenges

Whether you're just beginning your recovery or looking to strengthen it, our coaches offer guidance, accountability, and hope through every stage of the journey.

We understand that reliable transportation can be a major barrier to recovery. That’s why we offer transportation services to help you get where you need to go—whether it’s inpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs, therapy appointments, meetings, or any activity that supports your recovery.

What We Offer:

• Local and intercity bus passes to help you stay connected to services 
• Personal transportation using Lifeboat vans for appointments and recovery-related needs
  We’re here to make sure that a lack of transportation never stands in the way of your progress. Let us help you stay on track and moving forward.

 Recovery Friendly Workplaces support their communities by recognizing recovery from substance use disorder/opioid use disorder as a strength and by being willing to work intentionally with people in recovery. RFWs encourage a healthy and safe environment where employers, employees, and communities can collaborate to create positive change and eliminate barriers for those impacted by substance use disorder. 

Lifeboat is certified to guide you through the process of becoming a Recovery Friendly Workplace.

 We’re proud to partner with shelters and community centers throughout the Lansing area to bring Peer Recovery Coaching Services directly to those who need them most. Our team visits these locations several times a week, offering personalized support, encouragement, and access to recovery resources.

Our current outreach locations include:

• Lansing City Rescue Mission
• Loaves and Fishes Ministries
• Endeavor House Ministries
• Pinnacle Recovery Services
• Catholic Charities
• Allen Neighborhood Center
   

At the heart of our work is a simple belief: recovery starts with connection. That’s why we meet people where they are—both physically and emotionally—helping them take meaningful steps forward, on their own terms.

 At Lifeboat, we believe that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer multiple pathway recovery meetings throughout the week at our Network Center—providing a welcoming and inclusive space for anyone seeking support, connection, and healing.

Whether you're just starting your recovery journey or have years of experience, our diverse lineup of meetings is designed to meet you where you are. We honor all pathways to recovery, including 12-step, faith-based, secular, harm reduction, medication-assisted recovery, and more.

 Recovery is about more than just staying sober—it’s about rebuilding community, joy, and connection. That’s why we host a variety of safe, welcoming social events throughout the week to bring people together in a supportive environment.

Join us for activities like:

• Banquets & potlucks
• Game nights
• Coffee hours & conversations
• Movie nights
• Community cleanups
• Sport outings
• And much more!
   

These events are open to everyone in recovery and anyone who wants to connect in a positive, substance-free space. Come as you are—we’d love to have you.

 Our Network Center now offers free Narcan through a self-serve vending machine—accessible to anyone, anytime, no questions asked. Whether you're looking out for yourself, a loved one, or someone in your community, we believe everyone should have access to life-saving tools.

Stop by today and take what you need. Your safety matters.

 Looking to make a difference in your community? Lifeboat offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for individuals who are passionate about recovery, service, and connection.

Whether you want to help at events, support our outreach efforts, assist with community cleanups, or just lend a hand where it’s needed most—we’d love to have you on board.

Volunteers play a vital role in creating safe, welcoming spaces for those in recovery. No experience is necessary—just a willing heart and a desire to serve.

 At Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Services, we believe access to technology is an important part of recovery and rebuilding a stable future. Our computer lab provides a safe, supportive space where individuals can gain valuable digital skills, apply for jobs, complete schoolwork, connect with community resources, and stay in touch with loved ones. Whether learning new skills, working on resumes, or accessing telehealth and recovery supports, our lab helps break down barriers and empowers individuals to move forward with confidence.
