The Salvation Army has more no-fee residential treatment facilities that any rehab program in America.

For over 100 years, our Adult Rehabilitation Centers and Harbor Light Programs have offered spiritual, emotional and social assistance to those who have lost the ability to cope with their addictions and provide for themselves. The Salvation Army's free programs provide housing, food, counseling, community and employment as we work to treat the root causes and symptoms of prolonged alcohol and drug dependence.

Many of our homeless shelters, transitional living centers and programs offer supportive services for fighting alcohol and drug addiction, including: Alcohol & Narcotics Anonymous support groups, individual therapy, counseling and, clear codes of behavior to ensure patients continue to stay sober.

The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Centers

The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs) comprise the largest residential rehabilitation program in the United States five of which are located in Southern California.   Locations include Anaheim, Canoga Park, Long Beach, Pasadena, and Santa Monica.  ARC's are free to the public and financed through our Salvation Army Family Thrift Stores.

Adult Rehabilitation Centers are probably the most widely known of all Salvation Army services. They provide long term, social model, and residential recovery programs for individuals seeking to deal with substance abuse and other addictions. They seek to help participants regain self-worth, learn how to build an orderly and disciplined life and become contributing members of society. Each program participant is provided with a clean and healthy living environment, nutritious food, group and individual counseling, spiritual direction, work therapy assignments and recreational activities.

Other Addiction Treatment Services

In addition to the Adult Rehabilitation Centers, The Salvation Army runs three state-certified addiction treatment programs.  The Haven, Hope Harbor, and Bell Shelter all provide assessments, medical and psychological assistance, transitional housing, group and individual counseling, educational services, employment assistance and recreation and leisure time activities.
