About

About Addiction Recovery Care Association

Addiction Recovery Care Association – widely known as ARCA – is a Winston-Salem nonprofit providing non-hospital medical detoxification, residential treatment, and outpatient services on a 99-bed campus at 5755 Shattalon Drive. The organization frames itself around “a family-focused environment” where physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and addiction counselors work together to support recovery from alcohol and drug dependency.

Detox is the front door of the continuum for most patients. ARCA’s non-hospital medically supervised detoxification provides safe stabilization for severe alcohol, opioid, or polysubstance withdrawal before patients step into residential treatment. The residential program leverages the 99-bed capacity to keep cohorts small enough for individual attention while also supporting the milieu that group recovery depends on. Outpatient services complete the continuum for clients who don’t need 24-hour care or who are stepping down from residential.

ARCA treats the broad spectrum of substance use disorders: alcohol, opioids, prescription drugs, methamphetamine, marijuana, heroin, crack and cocaine, fentanyl, and Delta-9 cannabis products. Co-occurring mental health diagnoses are addressed alongside addiction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy anchors clinical work, supplemented by group, individual, and family counseling. A self-assessment quiz on the ARCA website helps prospective clients gauge whether their use warrants reaching out.

ARCA holds CARF accreditation and accepts Medicaid, state insurance, most major private insurance, self-pay, and offers financial assistance to qualifying clients. A recent partnership with State Employees Credit Union (SECU) is funding a new, expanded recovery facility that will broaden ARCA’s capacity for North Carolinians seeking help. Reach the 24/7 admissions line at 877-615-ARCA (2722) or the main office at 336-784-9470.

The program prepares patients for successful transition to outpatient care or community-based recovery support through comprehensive aftercare planning.

As a nonprofit organization, ARCA offers financial assistance and sliding scale fees based on individual income and financial circumstances. This approach ensures that cost does not prevent access to urgent medical detox services when patients require immediate withdrawal management.
