ARC, West Los Angeles  California

Primary Care at ARC addresses the initial needs of clients beginning their journey into sustained recovery from alcohol abuse and drug addiction. A multi-disciplinary team of professionals all combine their medical, clinical and personal experience in addiction treatment to deliver rehabilitation services in a caring, compassionate fashion. The general treatment goals during primary care are to interrupt the addictive process, to impart insight and awareness of the causes and conditions of the disease and to provide supportive tools for continued recovery.

In meeting these objectives, the center utilizes physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed professionals, experiential therapists and certified substance abuse counselors.

During primary care experiential therapy coupled with outdoor activities transmit a renewed enthusiasm for living and serve to stir up a sense of adventure during the ample day-to-day clinical routine. These recovery-oriented activities have proven to be the staging area for shifts in spiritual perspective that are so crucial to our client’s overall sense of gratitude and well-being.

Primary care joins innovative clinical services with an inventive treatment curriculum designed to address the early needs of clients seeking alcohol treatment and/or drug rehab. Our treatment methods are comprehensive and personalized for each individual. We carefully consider each persons future aftercare needs and facilitate client placement in supportive transitional services helping to forge the way for successful, long-term client recovery.

Phase 1 (Primary Care) is a residential level of care designed to support clients beginning the road to recovery. The ARC treatment philosophy approaches each client individually so that the basic principles of recovery are receivable. Our clinical team evaluates each client to create personalized treatment planning and to determine what clinical methodologies can be employed to help each person expand their horizons within the framework of their own belief systems. The daily curriculum imparts educational material and provides each client with a positive peer community where new recovery principles can be practiced and established. Each client learns about the disease model, 12-Step philosophy and trigger identification so that new coping mechanisms can start to take root as the recovery process begins to take hold.

The individual experiences and circumstances that could inhibit sustained success are assessed through individual therapy and substance abuse counseling. Each person is provided the opportunity to implement a personalized program of action within a safe environment so that reintegration to daily living can take place with a practiced set of new responses.

When necessary, each client has the opportunity to undergo a family program or relationship counseling to help with some of the intense challenges that have been born from behaviors resulting from drug addiction and/or substance abuse. ARC believes that behavioral responsibility should never be thwarted but also that a clean slate needs to be established for all parties affected by the addictive process. Relationship resolution often takes time and Phase 1 allows each client and their loved ones to begin the process of reconciliation and helps to provide relief from the difficult feelings and emotions that have burdened the hearts of all those involved.

Phase 1 serves to establish a personal foundation in recovery. For individuals struggling with addiction or abuse issues it represents an opportunity to learn how to maintain sustained abstinence through the multitude of challenges that arise in early recovery.

If a client so chooses they may participate in the full 90-day ARC program of recovery or; they may enroll in any level of care as a stand alone program of assistance where the curriculum is designed to meet their specific recovery needs.

While the focus during Phase 1 helps to identify the underlying issues that have contributed to the addictive process, Phase 2 (Continuing Care) represents an opportunity for in-depth continued processing of these issues. Phase 3 (Extended Care) is a truly transitional level of care where the focus is on safe social reintegration, vocational training, educational pursuits and life skills training.
