Medical Wellness Center
The White Oak Hill Treatment Center by Addiction Recovery Care (ARC) offers a specialized, comprehensive program for women with addiction. Emphasizing a holistic approach, the program nurtures the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. The recovery process begins with initial assessments, medical stabilization, and residential care, providing continuous support through various recovery stages. Services at White Oak include medical stabilization, individual and group therapy, spiritual care, 12-Step support, wellness activities, and vocational opportunities.
One of White Oak’s unique features is its extensive vocational training opportunities. Pioneering the integration of drug treatment and vocational training, ARC’s Crisis to Career approach empowers individuals with substance use disorders to re-enter the workforce, leading fulfilling and productive lives. This program includes skill-building workshops and hands-on training opportunities, such as the Peer Support Specialist Program (PSSP) and Second Chance Automotive.
The Peer Support Specialist Program (PSSP) trains people in recovery to help others with substance use disorders. It covers recovery techniques, clinical practices, life skills, and health and safety. Graduates can become Kentucky Peer Support Specialists and earn up to 28 college credits. A unique aspect is the Creative Arts PSSP, which uses arts like theater and music to enhance peer support and recovery.
The treatment at White Oak follows a 4-phased approach, beginning with medically supervised detox and individualized treatment plans. The second phase focuses on intensive residential treatment, including therapy and counseling to address underlying issues and develop coping skills. In the third phase, clients receive continued therapeutic support and start vocational training to prepare for workforce reintegration. The final phase includes an internship program where clients can apply their skills in real-world settings.
