All treatment programs were not created equally!

If you are looking to get your life on a healthy footing, we look forward to visiting with you. 

Life Management Resources is uniquely qualified to provide an unparalleled level of chemical dependency treatment services.  The success of treatment is based on the quality of the material presented, the education and capability of the presenter, and the commitment to patient care of the entire staff.

Dr. Fred J. Hansen, creator of the inspiring film about chemical dependency Finding Hope, is the Clinical Director and is personally responsible for the creation of the protocol selection provided at each session.  He remembers a time when he first began working at a psychiatric hospital, being asked to lead a group.  He asked, “What is the topic?”  The reply was, “you can talk about macramé if you want.”  The handouts he felt were insulting and did not respect the person who had come to the facility for help.  Copies of copies that were barely legible and written for a juvenile audience.

He vowed that this would never continue on his watch.  When he created Life Management Resources in 1999, he began the task of writing important, significant protocols that would touch each patient emotionally, that would direct them towards the understanding of a new skill they would need to develop.  The Life Management Resources Protocol Development Library today is over 8,000 pages of material, divided into 24 specific sessions covered in the eight week program.  There is no other treatment program with a structure that begins to compare to that of Life Management Resources.

However, the success of the program only starts with the printed material.  The presentation of the material in group by Fred Hansen or his therapist is exciting, challenging, involving and full of excitement.  Breaking midway into gender specific groups, the women’s group and the men’s group continue to process in emotionally charged sessions that allow each patient to process their own difficulties in dealing with the topic of the evening.

In individual sessions which meet each week, the counselors continue to embrace the efforts of each patient, encouraging them, supporting them, and prayerfully motivating them to a life of recovery.        Fred Hansen encourages family sessions to allow the entire family to begin the process of healing.  He is active in facilitating these sessions as well as couples counseling for those in the program.

The American Psychiatric Association classifies alcoholism and drug addiction as a progressive, chronic and lethal disease if left untreated. Addiction does not go away. Denial on the part of addicts and their families only continues the insanity.

Life Management Resources exists to provide the highest standard of professional therapeutic treatment, education and recovery support service to clients and their families. In a variety of programs, we focus on identifying not only the presenting needs of the client, but the historical and environmental effects that may be negatively impacting their progress and recovery.

Working hand in hand with our clients, we develop a treatment plan that provides opportunity for growth and personal development, not only for the client, but integrated to include the family as well. Life Management Programs are available to participants from the age of 17 and up.

With our new Joint Commission Accreditation, we will now be able to work with almost all major health insurance carriers.  We are also one of the largest Northstar providers in Collin County and work on a sliding scale with all program participants to insure that cost is not a barrier to treatment. Our goal is to provide the quality and quantity of care necessary to meet the challenges of your life based on a mutual assessment of your needs.
