History:
The ARC is a 36 year old grassroots 501-c-3 nonprofit organization incorporated in the City of Marlboro and remains in Marlboro to present day. ARC began as a drop in center for individuals trying to remain sober from alcohol after being discharged from detoxification hospital. Newly sober individuals realized if they were to remain sober they would require the support of other individuals who choose to live life in sobriety. In no time at all individuals seeking help for active alcoholism began to drop by the center to inquire about where individuals had gone to get sober. The name Addiction Referral Center originated. As years pasted by chemically dependent individuals also needed the same services and support throughout the years ARC evolved into a multifaceted organization providing substance abuse services incorporating specialized referrals and placement.
