You’re
Not Alone
For
over 100 years The Salvation Army has been one
of the world’s most active organizations in
the fight against substance abuse. Approximately
20% of adults in the U.S. suffer from alcoholism
or drug addiction. We are here to help those
who are sincere about reclaiming their lives
in this struggle.
Our Philosophy
Our
philosophy is based on helping people help themselves.
We accomplish this by helping them achieve balance
in the spiritual, mental, and physical aspects
of their lives. When this balance is achieved,
the problems of addictive behavior can be overcome.
The ARC is a place of hope and new beginnings
for those who suffer from alcoholism and/or
drug dependency.
At
the heart of the ARC program is the firm belief
that rehabilitation is God’s plan for mankind.
At the ARC, every effort is made to help the
residents deal with the issues that have contributed
to their problems.
Spiritual
values are built into every aspect of the rehabilitation
process. Individual and group counseling,
worship services and Bible study combine to
change the heart of each participant–the kind
of inner change that really works.
