Creekside is a men’s residential treatment facility. Nestled between the mountainous terrain of Knott County, the community is rich with Native American and coal mining history. The residential facility sits down the road from Alice Lloyd College, a private work college – meaning students graduate with little to no debt. Alice Spencer Geddes Lloyd came to Eastern Kentucky at a time when educational opportunities lacked in Appalachia. One of her first endeavors was creating Ivis Community Center which provided health care, educational services, and agricultural improvements to the region.

 

Keeping with Alice’s vision of providing opportunities, ARC is leading the way when it comes to combining drug treatment and vocational training that results in second-chance employment. We believe the solution to the nation’s workforce issues is lying dormant in the lives of those struggling with a substance use disorder. ARC’s Crisis to Career™ approach allows those suffering from substance use disorders to reenter the workforce and live flourishing lives.
