ARC announces temporary closure of four facilities

LOUISA, Ky. (WYMT) – Four Addiction Recovery Center facilities are temporarily closing due to imminent and significant cuts in Medicaid reimbursements affecting addiction and mental health services. Officials at Addiction Recovery Care (ARC) made the announcement Wednesday.

The four facilities include Sanibel in Catlettsburg, Lake Hill Oasis in Somerset, Beth’s Blessing in Tyner and Belle Grove Springs in Wallingford.

“These decisions were not made lightly and we are committed to supporting our team members and the communities affected by these changes,” said Vanessa Keeton, vice president of marketing at ARC. “Above all else, the safety and care of our customers remains our top priority. We are still available 24/7, 365 days a year for patients and families in need.”

ARC officials said addiction treatment and mental health providers across the state will be impacted by the looming industry-wide reimbursement cuts.
