Assisted Recovery Center of GA, Inc.

Specialties

Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia is a clinic that specializes in a medically assisted treatment for addiction to alcohol and opiate drugs. It is NOT a 12-​step program. Instead, ARC uses FDA-​approved medication, such as Naltrexone and Suboxone, to stop the craving for alcohol and opiate drugs, allowing patients to focus on their counseling and leaving them less vulnerable to psychological «triggers» that could cause them to relapse. This treatment method has a success rate that is 5-​to-​6 times higher than traditional 12-​step programs. ARC offers both inpatient and outpatient treatments, and all of its programs are totally confidential, with a private detox for inpatient clients and one-​on-​one counseling sessions. Also, the inpatient program is completed in a much shorter time-​frame, compared to most other programs.

History

Established in 2000.

Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia, Inc. was started in 2000 by Terry Bruce after 12-​step programs, alcohol detox, intensive inpatient, and other traditional detox centers failed to help a member of her family recover from alcohol addiction. While searching for other treatments, Ms. Bruce came across the studies by the University of Pennsylvania addictions researcher Joseph Volpicelli MD, PhD. He pioneered Naltrexone’s use in treating alcohol addiction, which led to its FDA approval for its use in alcoholism in 1994. Dr. Volpicelli discovered that Naltrexone significantly reduced the cravings for alcohol, which allowed for the person in treatment to focus more on his or her recovery.

More than just a traditional alcohol detox/​opiate detox center, our beautiful Savannah, Georgia location has served clients from the South East, including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee as well as all over the United States.
