Discovery Behavioral Health Acquires Authentic Recovery Center

Discovery Behavioral Health, a national mental health services provider based in Orange County, California, announced on Friday that it has acquired Authentic Recovery Center (ARC) in West Los Angeles.

ARC offers treatment for drug and alcohol misuse, including detox, inpatient detox programs, residential treatment, continuing care, intensive outpatient, outpatient rehab, aftercare and dual diagnosis treatment.

Discovery provides treatment for substance use, eating disorders and behavioral health, with programs that include residential, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care for teens and adults.

In a release announcing the deal, Discovery division president Joe Tinervin, MSW, credited ARC for its individualized treatment plans for patients.

“Since addiction is such a complex and multifaceted disease, no two treatment plans should be exactly alike. ARC offers a variety of options that are designed to meet the individual needs of each client,” said in a statement. “This comprehensive and holistic program includes both inpatient and outpatient levels of care, integrating various treatment modalities that are geared towards healing each resident's mind, body, and spirit so that recovery can ultimately be achieved and maintained for a lifetime.”
