About The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center Atlanta
The Salvation Army has Adult Rehabilitation Centers at locations across the country. They’re called ARC for short, and there’s one in Atlanta, Georgia. This is a residential treatment program that gives you a clean, sanitary place to live while you recover from drug or alcohol addiction and learn to be on your own. The program is free, but they’ll let you use government benefits to help offset some of the costs.
The program is designed to last about 180 days or six months. While the focus is obviously on recovery, they do more than treat the disease of addiction. They know that to get sober and stay that way, you have to have to heal emotionally and spiritually, too. That’s why work therapy will be a central part of your treatment plan.
You’ll work directly with your counselors to find an open position in your community that fits your skill set. Then, you’ll start working about eight hours each day. This one step can be transformative because it allows you to become self sufficient, earn an income, and build accountability. As a result, you should find that confidence and outlook also improve.
During your downtime, you can hang out with your peers at the center or attend counseling sessions. The sessions can help you understand more about addiction, address any underlying issues you might be dealing with, and develop healthy habits.
Something I like about the program is that they emphasize the importance of spiritual care. You’ll attend worship services each week, participate in Bible studies, and talk with your counselors to deepen your relationship with God as you recover.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
