ARC Addiction Recovery Care

They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Willisburg is the nearest place that does it, 10 miles away.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Saint Catharine.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Saint Catharine often still has to be in person.

Within 14 miles there are 6 other centers, across Lebanon, Willisburg and Bardstown.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.

Visiting and a family program are not the same thing, and the second is the one worth asking about. Living with somebody in early recovery changes a household's routine, and family sessions are where that gets planned. Ask about the release of information early, because without it the updates stop.

Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. Where an employer is funding treatment, it is normally told that you attended and not what was discussed. Ask what a program would say if somebody rang it asking about you.
