Addiction Recovery Care joins national addiction treatment research initiative

Addiction Recovery Care

Treatment provider Addiction Recovery Care is joining a national initiative it says will help improve treatment and recovery.

They’ll be joining the Foundation for Recovery Science and Education, which uses anonymous patient data to research what forms of treatment work. That data is used to create benchmarking reports that are used at treatment centers across the country.

The Louisa-based company says they’ll be able to more easily judge treatment outcomes and be more involved in research.

ARC Healthcare President Matt Brown said in a statement they’re among the first treatment providers to join the network.
