About us | The Addiction Referral Center (ARC) is a 45 year old nonprofit serving the MetroWest area. We serve individuals with substance use disorder by offering referrals to detoxes, residential rehabs., housing, employment, food, and other social services. We also host 25 support meetings a week. The ARC has between 750 - 800 people pass through its doors each week looking for support and relief from addiction. We also offer education and outreach to schools, courts and hospitals and we provide recovery coaching and after care strategy plans. Additionally, the ARC provides services and support to family members and loved ones because we recognize that addiction effects the whole family. We support families through an incredibly difficult and confusing time by offering education and information, referral services, and Al-Anon meetings. We disrupt the cycle of addiction to make Metrowest a better place to work and live. |
