LOUISA, Ky. (WSAZ) – As the new year kicks off, many are getting started on resolutions. A Louisa-based treatment center is ready to help with a special kind of resolution, overcoming addiction.
Officials at Addiction Recovery Care (ARC) say January is one of their busiest times.
“Every January, we see a surge of people wanting help for addiction,” said ARC chief administrative officer Matt Brown.
Brown has a special connection to the work.
“I suffered from addiction for 18 years, and finally ended up in treatment at Addiction Recovery Care back in 2014, now I’m over eight-and-a-half years in recovery,” he said.
Brown says their staff is ready to help anyone in need.
“We have nearly a thousand employees and half of our thousand employees are in recovery, so when you check into treatment at ARC, you can look around and see people who are one year, two years, five years, 10 years in recovery,” Brown said.
ARC has a network of more than 30 addiction treatment centers throughout Kentucky, allowing people throughout the region to stick to a resolution of overcoming addiction.
