Real Alumni and Fellow Practitioners Speaking to Their Experiences With ARS
I attended their 5-week I.O.P. and theIr aftercare classes and it was very helpful. The counselors they have there are very knowledgeable and made me feel welcome and comfortable. So I definitely recommend ARS to anyone looking for help. Thank you guys for everything.
I attended many IOP programs before finding this one and this one was by far the best. The program was great I felt really comfortable there and the staff was the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve been sober over 3 years since attending and I am lucky I found them.

ARS provided an indispensible foundation to build upon when I attended their intensive outpatient program in fall 2017. Their welcoming staff and environment were able to tackle the situation I'd found myself in with an individualized plan to work towards being my best self. We discussed and implemented many tools that have very much played a large role in getting to where I am today. I really enjoyed the group therapy aspect as well as it benefitted myself and others to have people to relate to at various points in recovery. Long story short - I always looked forward to attending sessions and will suggest ARS to anyone in my life who is seeking assistance in putting their respective vices in the past. Thank you for everything ARS!

Richard C. - (5 Star Google Review)
Exactly 2 years ago I entered this facility. I was lost, scared and had absolutely no idea what my future would hold. The staff at ARS were the most compassionate and encouraging group of individuals I have ever met. I had completed an IOP program across the country and it didn't even compare to this program. I attribute my success in my personal and professional life to the staff. I would not be where I am without them.
