Addiction Recovery Care (ARC)

ARC structures its addiction treatment around three levels of care, allowing men to find the right intensity of support for where they are in their recovery. Residential treatment offers full immersion for men whose substance use disorder demands round-the-clock attention and separation from environments that fuel use. It is the foundation of ARC's continuum — a place where men can focus exclusively on recovery without outside distractions.

When men are ready to transition or when their circumstances call for more flexibility, ARC's Outpatient Program and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provide structured treatment that fits around real-world responsibilities. The IOP in particular is well-suited for men who have completed a residential stay and are building the skills and support systems needed to sustain recovery long-term. Having multiple levels of care at one organization means men can step up or step down without starting over somewhere new.

ARC treats both substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health disorders, a distinction that matters for men whose addiction is intertwined with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health conditions. Addressing only one side of that equation often leaves the other untreated and can undermine recovery over time. ARC's clinical model is built around this reality.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of ARC's therapeutic approach. CBT works by helping individuals recognize and change the patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to substance use — a practical, skills-based method that men can carry with them well beyond their time in treatment. With physician leadership including Medical Director Arun Kaithi, MD, and Associate Medical Director Chris Jude, DO, clinical oversight is built into ARC's model at every level of care.

Addiction Recovery Care serves men seeking substance abuse treatment in Pikeville, Kentucky and the broader Eastern and Central Kentucky region. The men-only focus creates a recovery community centered specifically on the experiences, challenges, and strengths that shape men's relationships with addiction and recovery.

ARC accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, making it one of the more financially accessible residential and outpatient treatment options in the region. The facility is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and holds CARF accreditation — a meaningful benchmark for families and individuals who want confidence in the quality of the recovery center they choose.

CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation is earned through a rigorous independent review of a treatment program's quality, safety, and outcomes practices. For men and families comparing addiction treatment options, CARF accreditation provides third-party confirmation that a facility meets established standards — not just self-reported ones. ARC carries this credential, which reflects a commitment to accountability within its recovery programs.

For someone evaluating a long-term recovery partner rather than a quick fix, accreditation matters. It signals that the residential treatment, outpatient program, and IOP offered at ARC have been measured against external benchmarks and found to meet them. That kind of transparency is worth considering when choosing where to invest in lasting recovery.
