ARC History and More Details
In 1999, Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia developed their “bio-psych-social" protocols that many in the addiction-treatment community today consider the “future of addiction treatment”. We believe addiction is a physiological brain-based disorder that is medically treatable, and that long-term sobriety can be achieved. ARC of Georgia was founded by our CEO, Terry Bruce, after 12-step programs and other traditional treatment methods failed to help a family member recover from alcohol addiction. While searching for other treatment options, Ms. Bruce learned about the studies by a researcher at The University of Pennsylvania – Dr. Joseph Volpicelli. He pioneered the use of Naltrexone in treating alcohol addiction, which led to its FDA approval in 1994. Dr. Volpicelli found that Naltrexone significantly reduced the cravings for alcohol and opiate drugs, allowing patients to in treatment to focus more on their recovery.When combined with cognitive therapy, we believe that Naltrexone and the once-a-month injectable form, Vivitrol, takes the treatment for alcohol and opiates to the next level as shown by a success rate that is now consistently in the 60% range, compared to traditional 12-step/AA programs that report only about a 5-to-10% success rate. In addition, our clinic also uses Suboxone in treating patients addicted to opiates or prescription drugs. A primary part of treating our patients for their addiction includes a psychological assessment to identify underlying issues that may be causing them to drink excessively or “self-medicate”, so that we can provide treatment for those issues as well. The opiate and alcohol detox programs at Assisted Recovery are as pain-free as we can offer, using the latest medical technology. In addition, our inpatient programs are not "lock-downs." We offer a private detox conducted at a local apartment, or patients may have a favorite hotel in Savannah where they choose to undergo a detox. This form of private lodging increases our clients' level of anonymity in connection with their treatment. Nothing in their records would reveal anything other than they had a relaxing vacation in beautiful Savannah, Georgia. Assisted Recovery’s overall mission is to combine the very latest tools that medical science has to offer with one-on-one counseling to conquer alcohol and drug addiction. 888-570-6391 24/7 |

INSURANCE & FINANCING
Most of our treatment services are covered by insurance, however the amount of coverage will vary, depending on whether the patient requires an inpatient or outpatient program. Also, we do offer financing or payment plans for those who qualify. Call us for details or visit our “payment options” page to learn more about what has become a revolution in recovery for those seeking to end their addiction to alcohol or opiate drugs. THE ROAD TO RECOVERY: A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION We are not a faith-based, 12-step program, but we have great respect for AA and NA. In fact, we will arrange for our patients to attend AA or NA meetings if they like, and we believe that the traditional, 12-step program can serve as a valuable “support group”. We also welcome any AA or NA members who may be in need of our science-based, medically assisted treatment to help prevent relapses and improve their chances of achieving long-term sobriety. SERVICE AREAS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: More than just a traditional alcohol detox/opiate detox center, our beautiful Savannah, Georgia location serves the Southeast, including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. In fact, we have had the pleasure of helping people from all over the world. |
