Are you concerned that your teen, family member, co-worker, or a friend may have an alcohol or other drug problem?

Perhaps you've noticed one or more of the following:

If you have noticed one or more of the above behaviors, your friend or loved one may have a dependency or addiction.

Substance abuse is not an isolated, individual issue.

It affects much more than the person who is addicted. Employers lose productivity. Marriages deteriorate. Children are hurt. Friendships end.

Did you know that for one in 13 American adults, substance abuse is causing substantial harm to health and disruption of life?

More people in the USA suffer with addiction than with any other disease.

Each year, untreated addiction kills more people than cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and strokes.

At ARP Addiction Recovery & Prevention we are prepared to support anyone who is ready to ask for help.

You can rest assured that we will treat your loved one, client or patient with respect and compassion. ARP staff creates a nonjudgmental and comforting environment that helps our clients and their families maintain dignity and self-respect. We honor each person's goals by becoming a partner with our clients in the journey to recovery and wellness. And we maintain strict confidentiality.

We know how difficult it is to make the decision to intervene in someone else's life. That's why we're here not just for the person who may be addicted. We're available to support you in motivating that person to seek help.

You can help even if you are not a qualified professional. Our experienced and caring counselors can guide you on how to intervene in a loving and effective way.
