Adult Rehabilitation Center

Philosophy

The mission of The Salvation Army is to restore people to productive living

The Salvation Army has long recognized the importance of balance in the spiritual, mental and physical aspects of a person's life. When this balance is achieved, the problems of addictive behavior or social adaption can be overcome.

The Adult Rehabilitation Center, in downtown Colorado Spring, is a place of hope and new beginnings for those who suffer from alcoholism, drug dependency or temporary handicaps (emotional instability, wanderlust, family alienation or ex-convict).

Staff employees are carefully selected to provide competent care and professional service in the various aspects of the ARC's program.
