Our charitable residential programs offer spiritual, emotional, and social assistance in an environment designed to help participants live healthy, fulfilling lives.
There are many critical components of the ARC program, including spiritual counseling, personalized counseling services, recreational activities, and work therapy. The work therapy component is designed to teach strong work habits and to restore self-esteem, creating a sense of self-worth and accomplishment that helps individuals reintegrate into society and return to or enter for the first time an employment environment. Individuals acknowledge that they understand that they are participants of the program and not employees.
There is no universally mandated minimum duration for participants in work therapy, but all ARCs adhere to a maximum of 40 hours per week. Schedules can be adjusted to meet the needs of the participants. Program participants also receive a variety of services, including individual and group counseling, religious services, food, lodging, life-skills training, and recreational activities.
Many of the men and women in our ARC program have little to no work history. While it may help them acquire skills they can leverage into gainful employment after the program, the focus of Adult Rehabilitation Center programming is rehabilitation. When the rehabilitation program is nearing completion, however, ARC staff assists ARC program participants in the process of applying for employment with the goal that when the participant graduates from the program, they will have a job and outside housing.
