ARC Vision Statement
The Adult Rehabilitation Centers Command seeks to express love and concern in a Christlike way. Individuals who can no longer cope with life find in the Centers a haven and loving care while they pull their lives together. Here each one is helped to develop the spiritual base on which can be built the moral, physical, educational and emotional resources needed to be part of the larger community. The distinguishing feature of each Center continues to be its strong belief in spiritual regeneration.
Entry Requirements
A comprehensive intake interview is required from every potential program participant to insure that the individual seeking help and the program are a good match. In the event that the interview process determines that the program is not appropriate every attempt will be made to make a referral to more appropriate help. Although the core program is basically the same, Adult Rehabilitation Center programs may vary somewhat from center to center. Each applicant must come with the recognition of a need that can be addressed within the framework of the entire Adult Rehabilitation Center program. A long term commitment of at least 6 months helps the participants make life choices and changes that, upon reentry, will enable them to maintain themselves as productive citizens of their community. Applicants with a desire to get help may be referred by families, friends, courts, clergy, and community leaders or simply call the Intake Office to make an appointment or get more information.
Program Participation
The Adult Rehabilitation Center program assists the beneficiaries in learning to live a balanced lifestyle. Participation in all program components is required by every beneficiary. We use work as therapy to assist persons in learning or re-Iearning how to be productive, participate cooperatively, follow instructions, contribute towards a goal, and maintain balance. We use individual and group counseling to assist with character formation (a change of thinking and behavior). We offer spiritual direction to help the beneficiaries embrace the practical application of the Christian faith as a lifestyle and encourage them to become established in a church community of their choice. Each center is able to offer other services on site or in conjunction with available community resources.
