Substance

ARP/Phoenix, a Sisters of Mercy subsidiary, provides a complete
continuum of care for workplace substance abuse issues.
Same-day assessments can usually be scheduled with a return-to-work
plan completed and start date determined at that time. Services
offered include:
- In-depth
assessments

- Intensive
outpatient treatment

care services
ARP/Phoenix

and group treatment opportunities to accommodate a variety
of work schedules.
