The following services are available to adults:

Diagnostic Assessment

When there is a known or suspected substance abuse, mental health or developmental disability diagnosis, an in-depth Assessment determines the appropriate treatment.
Court-Ordered Assessments, education and treatment are provided by ARP for those convicted of substance abuse-related offenses as well as for parents who are required to obtain treatment in order to be reunited with their families.

Outpatient Treatment

DWI Offenders mandated to undergo a clinical Assessment to determine the type of education and treatment needed often choose ARP as their treatment provider. Their reasons include our person-centered approach, low cost and non-judgmental attitude.

ADETS A substance abuse or DWI Assessment may indicate that ADETS (alcohol and drug education traffic school) is the best treatment option. This popular 16-hour program uses the Prime for Life curriculum to help people understand the psychological and physical aspects of addiction as well as the factors that may lead to dependence. The program will soon be a mandated course for DWI offenders

Short-Term/Intermediate - 30 to 90 hours - during the assessment, an individualized treatment recommendation is made and the number of hours of treatment depends on the severity of use and consequences.
