Mount Sterling Counseling Center, a facility part of Addiction Recovery Care, offers
outpatient services including individual and
group therapy, 12-Step and Celebrate Recovery meetings, peer support, targeted case management, and medication-assisted treatment (
MAT). They provide
intensive outpatient programs (IOP) with flexible scheduling, and their programs are designed for clients who do not need medically supervised detoxification.
A typical day in the IOP includes a mix of individual and group therapy sessions tailored to each client’s needs. Clients participate in evidence-based therapies and faith-based support meetings like Celebrate Recovery. The program also provides vocational training sessions to equip clients with employment skills. Peer support and targeted case management are integral parts of the daily schedule. Classes are offered 3 or 5 days a week, with flexible scheduling available in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Unique features include same-day care appointments, vocational training, and career opportunities to help clients reintegrate into their lives with a clear set of goals. The vocational training program is designed to equip clients with essential job skills, enhancing their employability and supporting long-term recovery. This training covers various practical skills tailored to the individual's interests and job market demands. Clients have the opportunity to practice resume writing and interview techniques, computer skills, or specific technical skills like carpentry, culinary arts, or customer services.
Guided by faith, their approach includes spiritual care services, chaplain support, and faith-based recovery meetings like AA and Celebrate Recovery. These programs encourage reliance on a higher power, aligning with Christian values. ARC’s
holistic method emphasizes the importance of spiritual well-being alongside physical and emotional health, providing a comprehensive and compassionate recovery.
