Advanced Recovery Center provides treatment for individuals with co-occurring disorders for men and women ages 18 and over. Most have a history of chronic relapse and frequently have other complicating emotional issues that require intervention. The treatment program is designed to address critical, unresolved issues that are likely to lead to chronic relapse. ARC is able to quickly accommodate special patient needs without any delay.
Jerry Boriskin, PH.D., is a clinical psychologist who specializes in co-occurring conditions and founded ARC in 1999. The clinicians utilize their professional training, personal experiences, and clinical skills to assure cohesive and compassionate treatment. The clinical continuum of care is divided into three phases. The average length of stay in each of the phases is dependent on each client's individual needs and treatment recommendations. Patients are expected to complete the three phases in sequence. Phase I is a full time structured treatment phase designed to complement and enhance the therapeutic gains the client has made in their primary treatment experience. During Phase II, patients attend fewer groups and are assisted in integrating into the recovery community through part-time employment, education, or community service. Patients practice living and coping skills in "the real world," while remaining in structured housing. Phase III is a structured transitional level of care and clients are required to make a 3-month commitment before being accepted into this phase. Patients are required to have employment or attend school on a full time basis while remaining in supervised living quarters. Patients attend weekly continuing care groups and have contact with their primary therapist as needed.
All therapy takes place in a professional office environment where the ARC staff transports the clients each day. The patients live in upscale independent living quarters where they do their own grocery shopping, prepare their own meals, do their own laundry, and keep their living spaces clean. Entry gates at the condominium complex enhance security and each unit has individual security systems. ARC staff is on duty at the apartment community throughout the evening and night hours, and patients have immediate access to them via phone at all times. Transportation is provided for weekly shopping trips and scheduled recreational activities.
