The Arches Addiction Recovery Residences Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Arches Addiction Recovery Residences is a sober living home in Atlanta, Georgia, in Fulton County, on Roswell Road. The program has served men and women in the transitional stage of recovery since 2008 and holds Georgia Association of Recovery Residences certification.

Sober Living for Men and Women in Transitional Recovery

The Arches houses residents who have completed an earlier stage of treatment and need a structured, accountable place to live while they rebuild routine, work and relationships. The program's twelve-step foundation runs through daily expectations, and it has operated on Roswell Road since 2008.

What GARR Certification Establishes

Certification through the Georgia Association of Recovery Residences commits a program to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules before move-in, and an outside complaint process. Georgia does not license recovery residences the way it licenses clinical facilities, so GARR certification is the clearest record a prospective resident can check before choosing a house.

Nearly Two Decades on Roswell Road

Operating continuously since 2008 puts The Arches among the longer-running sober living programs in the Atlanta area. That tenure means a working relationship with referral sources, a track record with the surrounding neighborhood, and rules that have been tested over years.

Recovery Housing in Fulton County

This stretch of Roswell Road sits in Fulton County, Georgia's most populous county and the seat of Atlanta, giving residents access to a dense concentration of outpatient providers, meetings and employers along the Sandy Springs and Dunwoody corridor without needing to relocate to a different part of the metro area.

Applying to The Arches

Applications go directly through the program. Worth asking: how the transitional model fits a resident's stage of recovery, what the structured living expectations look like day to day, and how the twelve-step foundation is worked into house life. A program with this much tenure should answer all three clearly.

Our program is designed to laser focus the client's attention on those vital elements necessary to bring about healthy changes that allow the person to become happily and usefully whole.  A big part of the program is the community itself.  Learning how to be a part of a community of men who are helping each other recover from addiction, and process through the many issues facing men in today's world, is a powerful piece of long term recovery and a life of sober living. Another area we spend a great deal of time in support and guidance with our clients is helping them develop the life skills and boundary skills necessary to lead productive lives. The bond of being with a community of men who are all going through the same situations together is life changing.
