When clients enroll at ARC, treatment planning is personalized to meet their individual needs. Our treatment philosophy is that alcoholism, drug addiction and substance abuse issues have root causes and conditions and that for addiction treatment to be successful, these core issues need to be addressed. Resolution in some cases may come quickly, but more often than not, true resolution takes time.
The purpose of personalized treatment plans is to create a program of recovery that provides a pathway of supportive services during treatment and after, so that personal resolution can be reached. Treatment does not end once a client leaves the center. A program of action is implemented during primary care that continues once transition from rehab takes place.
Detailed individual assessment is initiated upon intake and from this evaluation process, a treatment plan is formulated that takes into account the short and long-term goals that need to take place for sustained addiction recovery to be possible. A multi-disciplinary team of licensed professionals use a variety of methodologies to determine what these goals should be. Individual, family, community, educational and employment considerations are evaluated to create a treatment plan congruent to each clients present and future needs.
Personalized treatment planning prevents clients from having a treatment and aftercare plan that doesn’t fit within their life’s framework or the reality of their obligations to family, work or scholastic endeavors. It creates flexibility so each client can return to independent living with supportive measures in place that ensure participation in life versus having to maintain distance and/or separation from the routine activities of daily living.
ARC Primarily Utilizes Individual Therapy as a Treatment Modality
Our philosophy is that individual addictions need to be treated in individual ways and the Authentic Recovery Center offers a treatment curriculum that primarily utilizes individual therapy as a treatment modality. Offering individualized care allows each clients treatment to be tailored to meet his/her unique needs and serves each client by ensuring that the treatment is conducted in the most effective manner possible.
ARC offers each client a minimum of three to five individual sessions per week. Some of the methodologies we utilize during individual sessions are:
- Grief Therapy
- Trauma Therapy
- Somatic Therapy
- Reflective Therapy
- Analytical Therapy
- Insight-Based Therapy
- Reason-Based Therapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Individual therapy helps each client to better understand the origins of their condition. For many clients, daily therapy sessions become the cornerstone of their recovery process. During these sessions, the therapist and the client begin the process of identifying and resolving the underlying issues that have contributed to the cycle of addiction. In individual sessions clients are presented with the opportunity to address issues that are often too difficult to process on a group level. The intimate setting of individual therapy is often the format for clients to experience a cathartic shift in consciousness and to begin the process of resolution for issues that have hidden beneath the surface for quite some time.
Individual therapy is a very important factor in helping clients to achieve recovery success. Group therapy is also a useful tool in supporting clients in beginning their road to recovery, but ARC does not apply group modalities as the primary tool for supporting clients and their loved ones. Instead, ARC offers individual therapy as the foundation for our entire treatment curriculum, including the Family Program.
The Origins of Group Therapy and its Role in Traditional Drug Treatment Centers
The clinical technique of formally organized group therapy is said to have been devised by J. H. Pratt in 1905. Pratt was holding general-care instruction classes for recently discharged tuberculosis patients when he noticed the impact of this experience on their emotional states. In 1925 psychoanalyst Trigant Burrow became dissatisfied with individual psychoanalysis, and began experimenting with group techniques. Burrow hoped to decrease the authoritarian position of the therapist, and to more thoroughly examine interpersonal interactions. The application of group therapy methods to prison inmates and discharged mental hospital patients was pioneered by Paul Schilder and Louis Wender in the 1930s. At that time group therapy was found to be particularly useful in the treatment of children and adolescents. The development of group therapy was given impetus during World War II; as a result of the large number of soldiers requiring treatment for what is now know as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
The conclusion of the war also introduced the American public to a new group modality designed to support alcoholics. This program was centered on a 12-Step process that facilitated a support network for newly sober individuals and provided them with action steps that once taken, would create a new behavioral framework for living life sober.
Over the course of the next 50 years, with the apparent success of this 12-Step program, and the documented success of clinically-based group therapy for the treatment of trauma and social disorders, drug and alcohol treatment centers began to mold the group format into what has become accepted today as a proven treatment method for treating alcoholism, chemical dependency, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.
However, although the Authentic Recovery Center praises this movement for the success it has achieved, we are willing to point out some of the flaws in the group therapy format when it is utilized as the primary tool for addressing psychologically related issues.
For those that are unwilling to face the truth about the ineffectiveness in utilizing group therapy as a primary treatment modality, here are some pertinent facts about the recovery rates of group related clinical approaches:
- In 1991-1993 a national sample showed that two-thirds of clients admitted to treatment relapsed in under a year. The same study showed that 15% of those who relapsed were already using alcohol and/or drugs at the time they left treatment.
NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) Research Monograph 72
- In 2003 the NIDA determined that 30 day treatment modalities were approximately 30-35% successful in treating addictions.
NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) Drug Abuse Outcomes Analysis Study of 2003
The Pros and Cons of Utilizing Group Therapy as the Primary Modality in Treatment
Some of the pros of utilizing group therapy as the primary treatment modality:
- Group therapy helps to normalize the experiences that are associated with the addictive process. Group therapy helps people to recognize that they are not alone.
- Group therapy is a useful format for education. Group therapy is a great way to educate individuals about the nature of addictive disease and alcoholism and addiction related topics.
- Group therapy helps people to engage with each other and helps to foster a sense of connection with a positive peer group.
- Group therapy can be a tool that is useful in supporting one individual to learn from the experiences of another.
Some of the cons of utilizing group therapy as the primary treatment modality:
- At times, issues of a personal nature are too difficult to disclose on a group level.
- Group topics are not always determined by the people attending the group. This can result in treatment that is less effective because the group topics aren’t relevant to everyone’s needs.
- Group process relies heavily on the individuals attending the group. If you have negative peer influences in group, they can counteract the effectiveness and purpose of the group, which is to introduce each client to a positive peer support network.
- Group therapy is dependent on the people participating. If the people attending are of different age groups or genders, then the ability for people to relate to each other is compromised by the dissimilarities of the issues that come up. (i.e., young people often have a host of different issues than older people; women have different issues than men, etc.)
So overall, both individual and group therapy play an important role in ensuring a successful outcome for clients undergoing treatment for alcoholism, chemical dependency, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. However, the Authentic Recovery Center focuses more on individual therapy as the primary treatment modality while utilizing group therapy in predominantly an educational format, for the most part. This treatment approach is not always suitable for everyone, but in our experience, it is usually the most effective way to treat addiction related issues.

Alcohol is very difficult to overcome alone. ARC is committed to helping people experiencing alcohol problems achieve recovery. People needing alcohol rehab sometimes require the onsite medical detoxification services offered by ARC as a supportive measure that ensures safety during alcohol withdrawal. The ARC alcohol treatment program is dedicated to providing a comfortable, healing environment where clients and their loved ones can receive the help they need. If you or someone you know is in need of alcohol rehab call 877 415 HOPE today. Our credentialed staff will provide a free assessment to determine what steps are necessary to secure the safety and emotional well-being of anyone struggling with an alcohol problem.
Alcohol Rehab Begins with a Phone Call
Alcohol rehab at ARC consists of onsite medical detoxification coupled with clinical services designed to address the underlying issues that have contributed to selfdestructive patterns of alcohol consumption. ARC is located in Southern California and is a dignified and comfortable treatment program with numerous rehab amenities and caring, compassionate clinical staff.
Prior to admission each client receives a preliminary assessment through a telephonic interview conducted by a credentialed intake specialist. This process is designed to answer any questions potential clients or their loved ones might have about ARC and also determines what initial medical steps will need to be implemented upon arrival at the center. Additionally, these credentialed staff will evaluate what clinically supportive measures are appropriate to immediately address the personal circumstances surrounding the need for enrollment in alcohol rehab.
Alcohol Rehab with ARC is Effective and Unique
Each client needing alcohol rehab develops a personalized treatment plan with their primary clinician once alcohol detoxification has concluded. The treatment plan focuses on:
- Creating insight and awareness of the underlying issues that have contributed to the need for alcohol rehab.
- Healing personal, family and social factors that have been affected by self-destructive drinking patterns.
- Developing a network of supportive services that meet the individual needs of each client during the duration of alcohol rehab.
- Addressing the aftercare needs that support sustained recovery with subsequent placement for future care, when indicated.
Some of the daily individual therapy approaches employed by ARC to meet the objectives outlined by the personalized treatment plan are:
- Grief Therapy
- Trauma Therapy
- Somatic Therapy
- Analytical Therapy
- Reflective Therapy
- Insight-Based Therapy
- Reason-Based Therapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

Other clinical approaches for treating the need for alcohol rehab include experiential groups and outdoor activities designed to promote physical healing, a renewed spiritual sense and personal enthusiasm for living sober. Some of the activities are:
- Hiking (Mountain / Ocean)
- Art Therapy
- Psychodrama
Additionally, the treatment curriculum encompasses educational and process groups including topics of:
- 12 Step Education
- Disease Model Education
- Relapse Prevention
- Trigger Identification / Coping Mechanisms
- Relationships in Recovery
- Meditation Techniques
- Feeling Identification Group
In meeting each clients needs for successful alcohol rehab, the center utilizes onsite physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed professionals, experiential therapists and certified alcohol abuse counselors.
When continued alcohol rehab services are needed then clients may enroll in Phase 2 (Continuing Care) and Phase 3 (Extended Care). The treatment curriculum in Phase 2 and Phase 3 are designed to meet the ongoing needs of clients as they transition from primary care and begin the process of developing an independent daily routine. If time constraints prevent clients from partaking in continuing care then an aftercare plan is created that offers placement in supportive services to help with challenges that may arise on the future road of recovery.
For family members and loved ones who have been impacted by the behaviors surrounding alcohol consumption ARC offers a strong family program or relationship counseling. These services begin the process of resolution for those affected by negative drinking patterns and serve as the stepping stone towards the healing of inter-personal relationships.

The ARC treatment philosophy is to address both the underlying causes and conditions of the addictive process and the negative behavioral manifestations of the drug addiction or substance abuse issues themselves. Each addicted and/or abusing individual has unique experiences that have developed into intricate belief systems that support the internal mechanisms driving them to drink or use. Without question, inevitably the alcohol and drugs become the primary identified problem but without a true understanding of what lead each person into a lifestyle of alcoholism and/or addiction to begin with, then long-term resolution of the identified problem can only questionably be established.
ARC Offers Personalized Treatment Approaches
With ARC each client undergoes an assessment that produces a personalized treatment plan designed to answer three fundamental questions:
- What personal issues have contributed to the manifestation of the addictive process?
- What steps need to be taken to immediately arrest the addictive process?
- What plan of action needs to be implemented to address any future recovery needs?
To help answer these questions ARC utilizes a multi-disciplinary treatment team of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed professionals, experiential therapists and certified substance abuse counselors. Based on our philosophy that each individual’s addictive process originates from their own unique circumstances we employ such therapeutic techniques as:
- Grief Therapy
- Trauma Therapy
- Somatic Therapy
- Analytical Therapy
- Reflective Therapy
- Insight-Based Therapy
- Reason-Based Therapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
These methodologies focus clinical attention beyond the surface issue of alcoholism and/or substance abuse. The ARC method of treating alcoholism and/or drug addiction allows clients to discard negative forms of self-expression while nourishing the positive aspects of their individual constitution back into consciousness and daily application.
In order to effectively address the reality of arresting the alcohol abuse or drug problem, a detailed assessment determines what measures need to be taken to address each client’s immediate recovery needs. Educational groups, recovery-oriented activities and 12-Step programming are initiated that help address the primary problem of alcohol abuse and/or drug addiction. Additionally, experiential activities are offered as a resource to our clients as a means to nurturing a renewed sense of enjoyment in daily living. These experiential activities are geared to the physical condition of each client and include:
- Hiking (Mountain / Ocean)
- Psychodrama
- Art Therapy
- Movement Therapy
As psychotherapist and author Sharon Wegscheider Cruse states, “Experiential therapy is a treatment approach that combines theory with action. It is a technique that therapists can use to touch people’s lives deeply and intimately. Its effect can be profoundly healing. Treatment is a combination of knowledge and experience. To utilize one without the other is incomplete therapy.”
Without question, ARC is philosophically inclined to entwine 12-Step solutions around a clinical core program of realization and recovery. However, we recognize that individual circumstances sometimes prevent clients from choosing to partake in 12-Step philosophy. Subsequently, our treatment methods are rooted in the reality that a single solution won’t work for everyone. Our commitment is to deliver clinical services that bring historical understanding of the diseases causes and conditions. From this platform of insight and awareness an individualized program of recovery can be created which furthers the process of resolution and thrives within the framework of our clients personal belief systems.
If you or someone you know is in need of a comprehensive alcohol or drug rehab approach then call 877 415 HOPE to receive support today. Our credentialed staff will answers any questions that you might have.

Addiction recovery at ARC is designed to be a dignified process centered on a personalized program of recovery. Addiction recovery is often defined by traditional drug treatment centers by a person achieving a state of abstinence from their primary substance of choice.

- Onsite medical detoxification services in comfortable, dignified surroundings
- Individual clinical resources to provide personal support through detox
With the readiness of onsite medical and clinical resources, each client is well-positioned to embark on the road towards addiction recovery. Often during drug treatment, a client’s willingness to remain abstinent is compromised by variables such as; Post Acute Withdrawal Symptoms (PAWS), heightened emotional states, cravings, or external issues. All of these circumstances are addressed by the clinical team, and the treatment teams philosophy that one type of treatment won’t work for everyone, allows individual solutions for each of these variables to be provided. This personalized treatment approach helps to nurture the initial willingness demonstrated by client enrollment and grows the willingness into a powerful tool that can be applied during the recovery journey ahead.
With ARC each client undergoes an assessment that produces a personalized treatment plan designed to answer two fundamental questions:

- Grief Therapy
- Trauma Therapy
- Somatic Therapy
- Reflective Therapy
- Analytical Therapy

Substance abuse is a dangerous condition, regardless of the varying circumstances that led to the abuse. Substance abuse can lead to grave personal, medical and legal consequences that are avoidable with proper treatment. If you or someone you know is suffering from substance abuse call 877 415 HOPE today. Credentialed staff will answer any question you might have about substance abuse treatment with ARC.
In 1992 the NIDA approximated that the economic cost to society from alcohol and drug abuse was an astronomical $246 billion. In the same year nearly 150,000 people died as a direct result of ingesting alcohol and/or drugs. Substance abuse issues have continued to skyrocket over the last 10 years and subsequently more and more people have sought help from substance abuse treatment centers for themselves or a loved one. No empirical data exists to determine what personal and social repercussions have been endured by the torrent of substance abuse and for individuals affected by its sweeping tide any solution that works is a welcome one.
ARC provides substance abuse treatment for issues such as, cocaine abuse, alcohol abuse, prescription drug abuse, opiate abuse and marijuana abuse. Our onsite medical detoxification program ensures that regardless of our client’s primary substance of choice our qualified team of doctors, nurses and nursing assistants will be able to tend to each persons medical needs in dignified, empathetic fashion.
Substance Abuse Treatment with ARC is Effective and Unique
Substance abuse treatment with ARC is provided in a private, confidential setting by a clinically experienced multi-disciplinary team of licensed professionals and substance abuse counselors. We incorporate effective clinical treatment around holistic and experiential programs designed to address the early needs of clients beginning their journey into recovery. Our unique solution to substance abuse issues is to identify what the underlying factors are that have contributed to the patterns of negative self-expression encapsulated within the addictive process. Without a definitive understanding of these primary issues true resolution can’t be reached. Many of the clients who enroll with us have been to other facilities where the treatment focus was solely on substance abuse behaviors and once treatment was successfully completed, many of the belief systems that had led to the addictive process also left fully intact. Subsequently relapse ensued and the abuse cycle began again. To help prevent this destructive pattern, each client enrolling for treatment with us receives the benefit of a personalized treatment plan designed to address a few very important factors in solidifying sustained recovery success.
- Identifying what issues are presently unresolved that are contributing to the addictive process
- Identifying what steps need to be taken to immediately arrest the addictive process
- Assessing each client to determine where the are on the spectrum of abuse – addiction
- Identifying what aftercare resources will be necessary to maintain sustained recovery

The drug rehab program with ARC is a comprehensive clinical approach to treating addiction. The treatment philosophy of ARC focuses on the identifying whether a client is suffering from drug abuse or drug addiction. If drug abuse issues are present for our clients then the treatment approach is modified to meet their specific needs. Drug abuse can lead to drug addiction and drug abuse issues vary in severity.
Drug abuse is typically identified by intermittent patterns of consumption although occasionally people will use drugs of abuse everyday and still exhibit high-functioning capability. We have found that one of the most important factors in providing effective drug abuse treatment is first determining the patterns of consumption and the surrounding behaviors that ensue. Another factor in assessing the severity of a drug abuse issue is identifying what the primary substance of choice is and what routes of administration are being utilized.
At ARC each client receives an in-depth assessment designed to ascertain how severe their drug abuse issues are. This assessment is important because it allows each client to participate in a personalized clinical program that meets their unique circumstances and individual needs.
Drug of abuse are often initially introduced to people by their peer groups; friends, fellow employees or acquaintances at a party. When this happens, a person who has addictive tendencies unknowingly engages the gears of the addictive process. Before long, simple enhancement becomes a coping mechanism and drug abuse becomes a reality. Uninterrupted drug abuse often leads to full-blown drug addiction. If you or a loved one is suffering from drug abuse one of the most important steps that can be taken is to intervene on the pattern of abuse so that potentially life-threatening situations can be avoided.
Drug Abuse vs. Drug Addiction
More often than not, drug rehab programs do not disseminate between drug abusing and drug addicted individuals when providing treatment. In most cases this is a contraindicated approach to treating the full spectrum of drug abuse – drug addiction.
Successful drug treatment for an individual suffering from drug abuse should differ from treatment provided to an individual suffering from drug addiction. This is primarily because when a drug rehab program provides an individual who does not have an extensive history of addictive behaviors with the same treatment as an individual who is exhibiting issues of abuse, the ability for that individual to identify with the intense demoralizing experiences is compromised by a lack of personally relatable circumstances to draw from.
Usually, the demoralizing experience of living with an addiction is the leverage a drug rehab program needs to present rigid lifestyle changes that although difficult to initially implement, over the course of time will help transform a person into a happier, healthier human being. Since most drug rehab programs rely on this personal acknowledgement of the negative circumstances resulting from alcohol and drug addiction, any apparent lack of these negative circumstances will create a rift in the treatment process for the drug abusing individual unable to relate their own experiences to the more intense experiences of the people about them.
This crack in the treatment can allow the drug abusing individual to separate themselves from their peers, the treatment staff, and the rigid lifestyle changes that are being presented as the solution to the addictive process. Ultimately, abuse issues are manifested in a mental obsession, followed by a series of compulsive behaviors. Because the abuse issues are centered first in the brain, the individual without identifiable experiences of reference and relationship will wind up relying on the same resource that led them into issues of abuse in the first place, their own mind.
So it is of the utmost importance that a drug rehab program not only accurately evaluate where an individual is testing on this spectrum of abuse vs. addiction but also that they provide treatment to individuals in consideration of their personal history and current circumstances. This patient, more comprehensive treatment approach offered by ARC enables each individual to be taught in their own unique way and nurtures the process of developing insight and awareness so that abstinence and recovery can be achieved and maintained.
This separation of abuse vs. addiction does not mean that one substance is harder or easier to recovery from than another. It simply means that a drug rehab program must identify the level of abuse or addiction that an individual is suffering from before proper and appropriate care for the individual can truly be provided in a meaningful and successful fashion.
ARC is committed to creating personalized treatment plans that identify where our clients are on the spectrum of abuse – addiction.
