The Adolescent Residential Center for Help (ARCH) is for youth ages 12-18 who are diagnosed with a substance use disorder and may also present with co-occurring mental health disorders. The 18-bed facility provides on-site mental health and behavioral health services from a highly qualified clinical team, consulting psychiatrist, and consulting psychologist.

The average length of stay is 4-6 months, based on the unique needs of each youth, and in alignment with American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) dimensions and severity.
