Aware Recovery Care In-Home Addiction Treatment Philosophy
Aware Recovery Care’s unique and innovative in-home addiction treatment program was founded on the research supported idea that recovery in the “real-world” leads to far better rehabilitation results. In fact, extensive research has shown that receiving medical care and monitored support in the home promotes faster recovery, improves outcomes, and increases the patient’s overall physical and psychological well-being.
The Aware Recovery Care multi-disciplinary rehabilitation team for each and every client is led by an Addiction Psychiatrist and supported by an Addiction Nurse, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an Individual Therapist, and a Certified Recovery Advisor (CRA). These care-teams are dispatched all over the state of Connecticut and New Hampshire to deliver exceptional addiction rehab services in the home. Our teams utilize a wide range of evidence based practices to give our clients the very best chance of recovery.
At Aware Recovery Care, we also believe in a whole-person and family-systems approach. As a result, our addiction rehab program involves family members in our clients treatment plan as essential supports. The family as well as the client benefits from the Aware Recovery Care 52 week program.

ABOUT AWARE RECOVERY CARE HOME BASED ADDICTION TREATMENT - BEDFORD
Based in Connecticut, with an office in Bedford, N.H., Aware Recovery Care (ARC) is an evidence-based drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation program for adults and adolescents. Building on a program initiated by a Yale Medical School psychiatrist, ARC offers a one-year outpatient program in which clients receive treatment in their own homes and communities. Clients come from an array of backgrounds, including those with young family obligations, individuals transitioning out of inpatient treatment, corporate executives, and students. Specialized programming is available for professionals as well as dual diagnosis treatment addressing co-occurring mental health concerns. ARC also operates in Connecticut through its North Haven office.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Aware Recovery Care treats addiction as a chronic disease needing long-term, whole-person rehabilitative care. Before beginning a highly individualized recovery program, each client meets with a staff psychiatrist and undergoes a physical exam at their home. If detox is necessary, the treatment staff provides a referral and manages arrangements. Over the course of the year that follows, a certified recovery advisor (CRA) meets regularly with the client to coordinate medical assessment, therapies, support group strengthening, and collaboration with additional clinicians.
The CRA facilitates a holistic curriculum which can involve cognitive behavioral or dialectical behavior therapy, trauma counseling, engagement in wellness services such as yoga and acupuncture, and medication-assisted therapy. ARC recommends a 12-step-informed curriculum, and a client's CRA may accompany then to initial Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous, SMART Recovery or Celebrate Recovery meetings, as well as other appointments. Random substance use screenings and a GPS tracking system are optional services.
To treat co-occurring substance use and other mental health disorders, ARC clinicians provide referrals to and collaboration with psychiatric providers within the client's New Hampshire community. Family involvement is supported throughout the recovery process. A family therapist guides the client and their loved ones in developing healthy communication skills.
Depending on individual circumstances, clients typically meet with their advisor every day in the beginning and then step down in frequency through successive stages of recovery.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
Aware Recovery Care state-certified recovery advisors are trained in understanding several therapeutic modalities. They coordinate sessions with ARC's network of board certified addiction psychiatrists, master's-level family therapists, registered nurses, registered dietitians, and any other members of a multidisciplinary team specially assembled to serve each client. According to the facility's website, many advisors are in recovery themselves.
