<p><strong>ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY RICHMOND'S ADULT REHABILITATION PROGRAM</strong></p> <p>A part of the Salvation Army's nationwide network of Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs), the Adult Rehabilitation Center of Richmond, Va. offers <strong>long-term residential treatment to men</strong> struggling with chemical dependency. It's one of 101 substance abuse treatment facilities in Virginia (<a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/VA17.pdf" target="_blank">45 percent</a> of all treatment facilities in the state) to provide specialized programming for men. </p> <p>While the program does not offer medical detoxification on-site, similar programs operated by the Salvation Army (including ones in <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/harbor-light-the-salvation-army-1156637603/" target="_blank">Ohio</a> and <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/the-salvation-army-harbor-light-center-3203149231/" target="_blank">San Francisco</a>) facilitate an initial social detoxification program if necessary.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Before admission, clients may undergo an <strong>initial assessment</strong> to ensure the facility offers an adequate level of care, as treatment is not suitable for individuals struggling with chronic <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring mental health disorders</a>. In order to participate in the program, clients must commit to at least <strong>six months of residential treatment</strong>. Residential programs that are not hospital-based and last longer than 30 days are available in <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/VA17.pdf" target="_blank">just 11 percent</a> of substance abuse treatment facilities in the Virgina.</p> <p>The program adheres to a <strong>therapeutic community model of treatment</strong>, which emphasizes peer support, social interaction, and structured scheduling. Residents participate <strong>individual and group counseling</strong> sessions, education classes, therapeutic recreation, and spiritual guidance workshops. </p> <p>Treatment is also largely founded in the <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/did-aa-save-my-life/" target="_blank">12-step</a> model of recovery. Clients are introduced to the fellowship's philosophy and practices, attend <strong>12-step meetings</strong>, study 12-step literature, and perform associated "step-work." Clients may also attend church services, participate in <strong>Bible studies</strong>, attend spiritual counseling sessions, and give devotionals. </p> <p>The ARC of Richmond also incorporates <strong>work therapy</strong> into programming, typically after 30 days of treatment. While continuing to participate in required treatment activities, residents are assigned a <strong>full-time work schedule</strong> to support the Salvation Army organization.</p> <p>In most cases, residents assist with the daily operations of the organization’s thrift stores, which help fund treatment services. In 2017, <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/VA17.pdf" target="_blank">37 percent</a> of substance abuse treatment facilities in Virgina provided employment counseling or training for its clients.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Although there is no information available regarding staff credentials, <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3059/ShortReport-3059.pdf" target="_blank">97 percent</a> of substance abuse treatment facilities in Virgina have continuing education requirements for staff.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The ARC of Richmond can <strong>accommodate up to 81 adult men</strong>. Typically, the charity's residential treatment programs house residents in simple <strong>dorm-like facilities</strong>. The sole loved one polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave this facility a rating of three out of five stars for its cleanliness and general upkeep. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews from this facility’s alumni.

Although they awarded the facility four out of five stars for the quality of both its mental health and addiction treatment, they noted that family members should be more involved and gave the program a two-star rating for it's <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a> support. "If the facility offered family counseling and someone who offered support after leaving, I think overall it be a more successful program," they wrote.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Treatment services are provided <strong>free of charge</strong> to residents.
