At ARCH, clients will begin identifying personal issues and exploring their feelings. However, this awareness is only a beginning. Clients are encouraged to build on existing skills while developing and practicing newly introduced recovery skills.

The program at ARCH encourages change in three ways. First, the client is asked to learn and follow the list of \"Expectations for Residents\" which are designed to promote responsible, dependable and predictable behaviors.

Getting up at the expected time each day, making one's bed, being home by a certain time, maintaining gainful employment; these simple behaviors are often the first things to fall apart as a result of active dependence on alcohol and drugs.



Mission Statement: The Mission of ARCH is to provide referral, educational and extended residential treatment services for men seeking recovery from substance use disorders and to network with other providers to lessen the incidences of their disease and to lessen the harmful consequences to help the community.
