Arlington Center for Recovery

Arlington Center for Recovery (ARC), located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, has been a cornerstone for substance abuse and addiction treatment since 1996. Dedicated to a client-centered approach, ARC ensures each individual receives a thorough assessment leading to a personalized recovery plan. Their comprehensive services include intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and standard outpatient programs (OP), designed to address the unique needs of adults struggling with addiction, fostering a foundation for lasting sobriety.

The center's IOP, their highest level of care, involves sessions three days per week, focusing on crucial relapse prevention and life skills. Clients typically engage in this program for eight weeks, integrating the foundational principles of the Twelve Step Facilitation. Following IOP, or as an initial step, their OP provides ongoing education, problem-solving skills, and addresses underlying emotional contributors to substance use. Family Therapy is also encouraged, involving loved ones in communication and support to rebuild trust and facilitate holistic healing.

Beyond core addiction treatment, Arlington Center for Recovery extends its expertise to court-mandated services. This includes certified DUI programs tailored to Illinois state requirements and anger management groups led by National Anger Management Association (NAMA) certified counselors. These programs equip individuals with coping skills, trigger identification, and strategies for appropriate emotional expression, reinforcing ARC's commitment to community well-being and comprehensive recovery. Their specializations include Twelve Step integration, Relapse Prevention Counseling, and Family Therapy.
