ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY — FRESNO ADULT REHABILITATION CENTER
For over 100 years, the Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Centers (A.R.C.s) have provided no-fee recovery programs for individuals struggling with addiction. One of several centers in California, the A.R.C. in Fresno, offers holistic, work-therapy programming in a community setting. Detox is not offered here, making it one of 340 (86 percent) of residential facilities in California to not offer detox services.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
This A.R.C.’s holistic, social-model, work-therapy program aims to reintegrate adult men and women into their respective communities. Over the course of the six-month residential program, adults attend one-on-one and group therapy sessions, partake in 12-step meetings, and develop life skills central to healthy and active lifestyles. While in treatment, program participants are also expected to set and maintain sustainable employment goals.
