Statement of Philosophy

Arthur Center seeks to provide state of the art treatment and fundamental to any kind of evidenced-based practices is being person/family-centered.  This means that you and your family should be steering the delivery of services in a way that meets your individual needs.  We want to understand what is important to you and how you would like to be treated.  If you feel that you are not being respected as a person, or that your issues or concerns are not being heard, please ask to speak with a program director or administration and we will be glad to assist you in resolving the issue. 

Our organizational mission is centered on the concept of “partnership.”  In the context of our treatment relationship, this means that it is our goal to support your personal recovery.  It is your life and we want you to feel free to live it as you have dreamed.  The change process is difficult for us all, but if we know where you want to go, it helps us to support you in getting there.  We provide training to our staff in the area of cultural competency and seek to provide services to you that preserve your dignity and are sensitive to issues that are important to your family and traditions.  We want to come to know you and your family and the best way to do that is to ask questions and seek to understand you as an individual in the context of your family and community.

Your treatment plan will be your plan for recovery and should be in words that you understand and in your power to change as you progress in your recovery process.  It should not just focus only on what is wrong, but also build on things you do well and successes that you already achieved.  Although our staff has a diversity of skills and abilities, we cannot meet the needs of every person.  Sometimes others are more experienced or better trained to provide care for persons with unique or less common issues.   In these cases, we will make an appropriate referral and make sure that you are connected with the resource.

We are honored to be a part of your recovery and understand that the things we have discussed together are highly personal.  We will keep everything confidential and will only release information with your permission or as we are required by law to release.

Thank you for choosing Arthur Center as your partner in recovery.
