<p><strong>ABOUT LIFEPATH SYSTEMS – PLANO</strong></p> <p>Founded in 1986, LifePath Systems runs numerous facilities that treat mental illness, substance use disorder, and intellectual and developmental delays around Collin County, northeast of Dallas, Texas. It's one of the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TX17.pdf" target="_blank">43.4 percent</a> of Texas-based substance misuse providers that operate as as private nonprofit.</p> <p>The Plano center, located five miles north of the city center, offers <strong>outpatient treatment</strong> for substance use disorder and other behavioral health disorders, and operates an <strong>After Hours Crisis Clinic</strong> for children, teens, and adults, treating those as young as three years of age who are struggling with behavioral health disorders. LifePath Systems also contracts with other local organizations to offer residential detox and residential rehabilitation services.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to LifePath Systems’ website, the center has a crisis hotline, which is staffed 24 hours a day. A team of 12 specialists are on hand as the <strong>Mobile Crisis Outreach Team,</strong> which is sent to assess a crisis when needed. The team provides <strong>face-to-face crisis assessments, crisis interventions,</strong> follow-ups, and relapse prevention.</p> <p>For those checking in for outpatient care, one of the first steps is being assigned to a counselor, who will develop an <strong>individualized treatment plan.</strong> LifePath Systems offers a variety of mental health and substance misuse services, such as assessments, <strong>individual and group counseling</strong>, education, drug testing, and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare sessions</a>. </p> <p>The organization is also among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TX17.pdf" target="_blank">23.4 percent</a> of Texas-based facilities offering a <strong>Suboxone program</strong>, and the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TX17.pdf" target="_blank">14.4 percent</a> offering methadone. Both medications are offered in the context of <strong>medication-assisted treatment (MAT),</strong> in which medications are supplemented by therapy.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the center’s website, the treatment team at LifePath Systems includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, licensed therapists, registered nurses, mental health specialists, counselors, and peer support staff. Of the two alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date, one gave the facility three out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience, and the other gave LifePath five stars for the level of staff support it provides.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The two alumni surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave mixed reviews. An anonymous reviewer gave the center perfect five-star ratings for its holistic inclusions and individual counseling, and indicated that they would recommend the program, though they added: "Aftercare needs more treatment." Alum T.J. added: "Counselors were a strength, everything else a weakness," giving the facility three stars in most of the evaluated treatment metrics, including its holistic offerings, family participation, counseling options, and ability to treat co-occurring disorders.</p> <p><strong>Reviews posted elsewhere were mixed</strong>. LifePath's Plano location has average ratings of 2.8 out of five stars based on 29 reviews on Google and 2.5 stars based on 10 reviews on Yelp (plus five "not recommended" Yelp reviews ranging from one to five stars), and a single five-star rating on YellowPages.com.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> </p> <p>The reviewers commonly complained of <strong>administrative problems</strong> such as the facility losing paperwork or failing to fill prescriptions, or — most commonly — <strong>very long wait times for appointments.</strong> "Treating your issues starts with a looong wait for the intake. I left after waiting 3 hrs of waiting and being soothed by 'this is a process, they will call you soon,'" Gala wrote in a representative comment on Yelp. </p> <p>However, several reviewers expressed gratitude for the services they'd received, particularly since they're <strong>designed to cater to those on low budgets.</strong> "I really love this place. They don't have very fast sevice. But they really worked with my budget to ensure I got the help I needed," Jessica wrote in a typical comment on Google.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to the center’s website, Lifepath Systems accepts <strong>most private insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid</strong> (accepted at <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TX17.pdf" target="_blank">62.9, 17.9, and 57.1 percent</a> of Texas-based facilities, respectively). In addition, reviews submitted to Rehabs.com and other online review sites indicate that treatment is sometimes provided at a reduced fee or even free of charge.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p> <p>According to <a href="https://communityimpact.com/dallas-fort-worth/mckinney/features/2018/06/06/lifepath-systems-serves-adults-and-children-with-behavioral-health-issues-disabilities/" target="_blank">Community Impact Newspaper</a>, LifePath offers a range of services for children and families, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and nutrition and dietary consulting at the family’s home or at the child’s day care.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=lifepath+systems+plano+tx&oq=LifePath+Systems+plano+tx&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i60j0.1919j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x864c182babfee6e5:0x9d12ea14af1f09c6,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/lifepath-systems-plano?osq=LifePath+Systems" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/lifepath-systems-plano?osq=LifePath+Systems</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yellowpages.com/plano-tx/mip/lifepath-systems-527735187?lid=527735187" target="_blank">https://www.yellowpages.com/plano-tx/mip/lifepath-systems-527735187?lid=527735187</a></small></p>
