Welcome to Arche Wellness

"After 30 years of addiction, Arche Wellness did what no other treatment program has been able to, get me clean AND feeling great. I love this program! It's by far the best addiction treatment program in PA. My wife, my kids and I want to thank Arche!!" JLR - May 2009



Arche Wellness is a full service behavioral health wellness center in Allison Park PA, just outside of Pittsburgh. Our state of the art addiction treatment program is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health Division of Drug and Alcohol Program Licensure and is currently the only licensed program of its kind in Pennsylvania. Our mission is to offer a natural, intensive, comprehensive, private rehabilitation alternative to those dealing with addiction and mental health issues. Our programs are designed to reach beyond the symptoms of addiction and mental health problems to identify the biochemical root cause and provide a systemic treatment approach that builds from the biochemical level, eliminates symptoms and cravings and provides a healthier, happier, more sustainable recovery.

The basis of all Arche Wellness programs is our revolutionary 4 Step Systemic Restoration Process which consists of:

1. Data gathering and stabilization
We gather each patient's biochemcial information via laboratory testing and stabilize withdrawal and severe symptoms quickly and effectively. Each program is customized to meet the unique individual biochemical needs of the patient. No two programs are ever the same at Arche Wellness.

2. Biochemical repair and recovery
This begins with gastrointestinal repair to heal the body's malfunctioning fuel system and provides high levels of deficient nutrients via micronutrient infusions. Once the GI tract is cleaned of toxins, nutrient absorbtion increases and mental and physical health improves.

3. Peripheral systems repair
This addresses diet, exercise, psychological, behavioral and environmental aspects of recovery such as education, employment, professional and legal issues, interpersonal problems and family relationships.

4. Maintenance and aftercare
our aftercare program is one of the best and most comprehensive in the nations. It provides continuous care after intensive treatment is complete to continue recovery efforts as the patient engages their life and learns new recovery skills. This free services provides montly medical appointments and regular access to the staff registered nurses, counselor and personal trainer.


Our programs utilize:
No group therapy - individual, couples and family therapy only
No medications, drugs or toxins
A comprehensive medical and clinical staff including a licensed physician, registered nurses, licensed counselor and personal trainer
A high level of family involvement and coordination of care with outside professionals and family members.
Extensive aftercare programs provided free of charge
Continued care and access to all Arche Wellness professionals for life. Once you are a patient, no new admission is required and care is ongoing.
A self learning system that includes weekly patient evaluations and treatment plans and an extensive client feedback process.

We offer a wide range of wellness services from medical testing and micronutrient infusions to personal training and counseling. We offer a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to issues such as weight loss, depression and addiction.

While we currently have a number of pre-developed programs for addiction and behavioral health, we encourage you to schedule a prescreen appointment in our office. This service is offered free of charge and allows you to discuss your wellness goals with a member of our staff. After learning more about your life, biochemistry and health and wellness goals, we can customize a package to specifically meet your individual needs.

Our staff are all licensed medical and behavioral health professionals and certified personal trainers. Our behavioral health program is licensed by the PA Department of Health and is inspected annually. Please review our website and services and call our office to learn more about how we can help you reach the health and wellness state you always desired.

ADDICTION TREATMENT
"Parents of children who are addicted are looking for someone to help them with what has often become an overwhelming problem that affects every member of their family and every minute of their day. Worst of all, it has robbed them of a child they love. Eventually I realized how fortunate we were to have your facility it our own backyard."

SOME CONSIDERATIONS
If you are tired of going through treatment program after treatment program with little to no long-term recovery, Arche Wellness was designed specifically to help you. Our program was created to offer chronic, ongoing care to those suffering from the disease of addiction. We feel that those addicted, like all people who suffer from a chronic disease, have the right to ongoing medical care and professional oversight of their condition. Our program offers intensive medical and psychological care followed by an extensive, consistent aftercare program to help ensure continued growth in recovery.

Most addicts did not achieve a full scale addiction in 21 days. Therefore, it is unlikely that this condition can be completely resolved in 21 days of rehab. The patients that choose to enter our program are making a decision to make Arche Wellness their addiction specialist, much like any other medical specialist you might see for a bad back, diabetes or cancer. We don’t see the value in cramming as much recovery services as you can into a short period of time with no follow-up or continued care. Arche Wellness was designed to offer an intensive program to help restore the biochemical and physical damage done by years of substance abuse. Once the intensive program is complete patients receive continued free aftercare to provide support and encouragement as recovery progresses.

While our current success rates are very good, we know that relapse can happen. But the most important aspect of relapse is dealing with it as quickly and efficiently as possible, not waiting for the patient to hit bottom or a life threatening situation. If a patient at Arche Wellness starts to make poor choices that can jeopardize recovery or experiences a relapse, the staff is always there to address these issues as quickly as possible, providing an immediate, highly specialized, well informed and effective response.

If you are visiting this site, then you must be curious about our very unique approach to addiction treatment. Perhaps you have an addiction that, despite your best efforts, you cannot overcome. You might have a family member or friend who continues to suffer from addiction despite numerous, sincere attempts to stop using. Or you might be a treatment or medical professional, curious about what we have to offer.

Regardless of what brought you here, we thank you for taking the time to visit us. Our program was created because there are some significant deficits in the traditional addiction treatment process. Our model is based on the research and treatment processes of scientists and doctors all over the world for the past half century. It started with a simple article on Bill Wilson, the founder of AA, and his work in the area of orthomolecular addiction treatment. It then grew to an intense and detailed analysis of the roles of biochemistry, genetics, nutrition, exercise and disease processes in the inception and development of an addiction. Through our work and that of many others, we have a disease process for addiction complete with genetic, psychosocial and environmental variables that affect recovery. We utilize mathematics and systems theory to analyze the body as a complex adaptive system which requires scientific root cause problem solving. This complex adaptive system has an incredible ability to regulate and heal itself when properly fueled. Addiction is the lesion we seek to heal. We regard the brain as a dynamic hard drive powered by specific biochemical fuels and processes provided primarily by the gastrointestinal tract via diet. We believe this GI tract is the beginning of any successful treatment program.

We hope you find the site informative and thought provoking and we welcome your input and insight into this very dynamic and often misunderstood issue.
