AARC provides substance use disorder assessments, resource navigation, and prevention programming to help individuals, families, and communities take the next right step.
You may be worried about a loved one, unsure whether you need an assessment or just information, looking for prevention resources for your workplace or school, or trying to understand what options exist without committing to treatment.
AARC exists to help people make informed, realistic decisions around substance use and recovery.
We are not a treatment or residential facility. We don’t tell you what you must do.
Instead, we offer professional, clinical assessments, personalized resource navigation, and prevention programming for schools, workplaces, and communities.
Our role is to help you understand what’s happening—and what your options are—so you can move forward with clarity.
Clinical evaluations that help determine next steps—whether that’s treatment, prevention, or support resources.
Guidance for individuals and families to identify appropriate local and regional support, meetings, and services.
Education and prevention initiatives focused on reducing risk and strengthening protective factors at home, work, and school.
“We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.”
Recovery and prevention don’t happen in isolation. Addiction affects daily life—at home, at work, and at school.
Our work is designed to support people in the areas most directly impacted by substance use:
Families, relationships, and daily stability
Employment, productivity, & professional responsibilities
Learning environments and long-term outcomes
By focusing on these spaces, we help individuals and communities move toward healthier, more sustainable paths forward.
Not everyone who comes to AARC needs the same thing.
Our resource library is being redesigned to help you get help for yourself or a loved one, explore prevention versus recovery-related resources, find practical information, and locate relevant meetings and services in your area.
Whether you’re ready to take action or just starting to learn, the site itself is meant to be a useful first step.
Meet with a professional to understand your situation and options.
Use our guided tools to find information and support that fits your needs.
Whether that’s prevention programming, community resources, or further care—you’ll know what makes sense for you.
A trusted community resource in addiction prevention and recovery
AARC serves individuals, families, schools, and workplaces across our region by providing clear guidance, education, and support around substance use.
We are committed to meeting people where they are—
with respect, accuracy, and compassion.
