LOUISA —Addiction Recovery Care (ARC) is included in Newsweek’s list of America’s best addiction treatment centers for the third year in a row according to the Lane Report, and two of ARC’s residential treatment centers for women, Karen’s Place Maternity Center and Beth’s Blessing, made the list.

The America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers 2023 list highlights the nation’s top facilities based on quality of service, reputation, and accreditation relative to in-state competition, The Lane Report said.

KPMC is located on the King’s Daughters Medical Center campus and welcomes up to 21 mothers and expectant mothers at a time. While at KPMC, mothers receive individual counseling and weekly recovery small group and group therapy sessions. State-certified case managers work with each client to ensure women can stay for the duration of their pregnancy and up to three months postpartum to ensure they and their children have the comprehensive care needed during this critical time. More than 270 babies have been born at KPMC over the last four years, The Lane Report said.
