About Your Treatment

The length of treatment depends on the client’s needs. Detox takes around 3 to 7 days, varying based on the individual and the substance they used*. The core program lasts 30 days. However, clients who need to stay longer can do so at our discretion.

* For high-risk substances like fentanyl, detox may take longer.

Clients who need to detox from drugs and alcohol do so onsite. We provide a medical detox, overseen by healthcare professionals. The process entails around-the-clock supervision to ensure the safety and comfort of every client.

During the week, every day in treatment will include one or more therapy modules. These may be group sessions, individual therapy, therapy courses, nutrition guidance, and more. Part of the day will be set aside for visitors and free time. Residents are encouraged to exercise regularly and have the time to pursue hobbies and leisure activities.

Addiction rarely occurs in isolation. In most cases, there is one or more co-occurring mental health disorder. As a dual diagnosis treatment center, we treat both the addiction and any co-occurring disorders. Our team includes mental health specialists with experience in addiction and mental illness.

Since trauma can trigger addiction and mental illnesses, our team is trained to identify any such significant events. We will help you find the roots of your addiction, treating any trauma-related issues.

While we may incorporate principles from the 12-Step Program for those who ask, our core program is not based on the 12 Steps. The 12 Steps work for some people but not others. We have designed our program using scientifically-proven strategies so as to provide the best outcomes for every single person who walks through our doors. Recovery looks different for each person, but there are certain strategies that are effective time and time again.

Addiction is often called a family disease, as it impacts every member of the family. As such, family therapy is provided as part of the recovery program at ARC. Of course, family can choose to opt out of treatment, but it is highly encouraged.

Recovery does not end when you leave the premises. On the contrary, before you are discharged, you will work with your primary therapist to determine the best way to continue treatment. You will not be alone in this process. Our aftercare services include continued individual and group therapy sessions. We will also work with the therapist or doctor who referred you to the center to ensure continuity of care.

We provide transport to and from the airport for people flying in from out of state.

We will provides first-class, nutritious meals, prepared by a professional chef and catering team. Clients who have specific dietary requirements or preferences will be catered to. You can look forward to delicious meals three times a day.
