Addictions Recovery Centers - Elkhart

Addiction Recovery Centers (ARC) is dedicated to improving community health by providing accessible, effective outpatient assistance to adults aged 18 and older suffering from the misuse of alcohol and other drugs, guided by core values of quality, ethics, integrity, and compassion. ARC's vision is a world where all persons afflicted with substance abuse, along with their families, friends, and communities, can achieve drug-free and healthy lives. Embracing the philosophy that substance misuse progressively impacts physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being if left untreated, potentially leading to early death, ARC commits to sobriety and healthy living through 'The ARC Way,' which emphasizes individual effort, personal responsibility, unwavering commitment, and a strong desire for change, while strengthening connections between individuals and their communities to find solutions together. Services include comprehensive substance abuse evaluations using DSM-V criteria, various evidence-based outpatient programs such as the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for dependency involving 24-28 weeks of group therapy followed by aftercare, the Modified Outpatient Program (MOP) for abuse or suspected dependency with 20 weeks of education and therapy, Relapse Prevention for those returning to use, and flexible 'Flex' programs tailored to individual needs incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, interactive journaling, and assignments. Additional offerings encompass individual counseling for targeted issue resolution, and tiered education programs like the basic Level 1 group for minimal needs, the workbook-based Change Company Series for abuse conditions especially in criminal justice referrals, and the Substance Abuse Education Group for diagnosed abusers, all designed to empower clients with knowledge on how substances affect mind, body, relationships, and functioning to foster recovery and prevent potential damage.
