About Above All Recovery Center
Philisophy
AARC is a care based treatment program that focuses on primary substance abuse disorder as well as co-occurring disorders. We step away from the typical business based model that has plagued the industry.We do this through our three phase program Recover,Rebuild,and Rise. With a heavy focus on life event trauma we seek out the root cause of addiction and help to teach, as well as implement healthy coping skills and interpersonal development. AARC also offers a unique approach through the recovery workshop, a place where clients can express themselves in a safe way through various types of art therapy. The recovery workshop also offers a DIY home maintenance program to help provide a set of basic skills necessary to re-enter the workforce. Another aspect of what we offer is the "Through the Archway" program. It is a spiritual based inpatient program that is led by its founder and creator Peter Marinelli. Peter has been a huge impact on 12 step communities and helps his clients to thrive in a "life on life's terms" environment. Over all, Above All Recovery Center is a place where those suffering from addiction can come to re-create their lives.
Specialization
Family Program
Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it's important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.
Individualized Treatment
Some facilities have an addiction treatment protocol that all patients or clients are expected to follow, while others customize or individualize treatment based on a person's unique needs and circumstances. Factors that may affect treatment decisions include age, lifestyle, medical conditions, type of drug, religious beliefs, etc.
Aftercare Support
Addiction recovery does not end with discharge after completing a rehab program. Facilities that offer aftercare planning and/or support work with patients to ensure sustainable recovery by helping to plan and make arrangements for transitional or sober living, help with housing, vocational counseling, etc.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The focus of cognitive behavioral therapy (also called CBT) is helping people to understand the thoughts and emotions that underlie their addiction with the goal of learning new, healthier and more productive ways to understand and express themselves.
