Recovery Program

The Recovery Program provides long-term, recovery-oriented residential substance abuse programming. It aims to equip and empower individuals to manage their sobriety and reclaim their lives from problematic substance use. The multiphase program helps participants build essential skills, strengthen personal resilience, and prepare for life beyond treatment. Using evidence-based approaches and community support, the program combines group work, skill development, and meaningful activities to help individuals thrive.

 

The program has three distinct phases: 

​

1. Pre-Treatment

2. Skills for Recovery

3. Post-Treatment

 

The program utilizes numerous evidence-based concepts and techniques, such as Marlett’s Relapse Prevention, Cognitive Behavioural Theory, Dialectical Behavioural Theory, and the Transtheoretical Model of Change.

 

The ARC Recovery Program philosophy is informed by the community reinforcement approach:

​

​A well-researched approach to addiction treatment that emphasizes positively reinforcing sobriety by encouraging clients to be connected to the community and involved in activities that meet their needs without the use of substances.

 

The program structure therefore, combines group work, volunteerism, and skills-based work in the mornings with community outings and activities in the afternoons.
