About ARC Creekside

Creekside is a men-only detox and residential center nestled in the mountainous terrain of Knott County that treats substance use disorders. Its holistic program offers CARF-accredited clinical programs and medical services directed by an addictionologist. Creekside's Christian-centered approach includes 12-Step support and chaplaincy care. It also provides vocational training opportunities.
Phase 1 of their 4-phase program focuses on ridding substances from the body and creating a personalized care plan. Creekside’s medical professionals give a physical and mental assessment upon arrival to begin to tailor treatment. Their medical detoxification provides a safe, supervised environment to withdraw from drugs or alcohol. Medication-assisted therapy is available as needed.
Creekside’s residential program is guided by a Christian, holistic approach to care, focused on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. They provide 24/7 addiction specialist support. Clients engage in evidence-based 1:1 and group counseling to identify triggers and develop new coping skills. Creekside offers AA, NA, and Celebrate Recovery meetings. Clients can transition to their intensive outpatient care with a sober living option for continued treatment with more flexibility.
Phases 2 and 3 focus on peer support and practical tools for returning to work and school. Creekside provides spiritual life options, continued individual and group therapy, and 12-Step meetings. Life skills development includes specialized employment training and educational programming. In the final phase of treatment, men participate in an internship program to help build practical life skills. Upon completion, clients receive a Health and Human Services certificate from Sullivan University that can be rolled into Sullivan’s 2-year associate or 4-year bachelor’s program.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like ARC Creekside provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

ARC Creekside offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 6 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Group Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. ARC Creekside works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
