Dear Friends and Partners,
As we move through this season of change, I want to take a moment to share some important news and to reflect on what it means for the future of addiction treatment in Kentucky.
Addiction Recovery Care has always been guided by a single mission: to provide compassionate, high-quality treatment that transforms lives. To ensure that mission continues for decades to come, we have entered a new chapter in our organization’s journey.
Ethema Health Corporation, through its subsidiary ARIA Kentucky, LLC, has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire various healthcare assets and operations of ARC. This transaction includes ARC, Bellefonte Hospital and Recovery Center, Pioneer Rural Health Clinic, South Creek Drug, and our laboratory. Non-healthcare entities, such as Millard School, Millard College, and Enterprises, are not part of this transaction.
ARC is also engaged in separate discussions regarding the future of the Crown Recovery Center campus. Until those plans are finalized, ARC will continue to own and operate Crown, ensuring uninterrupted care and stability for our patients and staff. Crown will remain a cornerstone of the Springfield community for years to come.
This decision was not made lightly. Over the past several months, we have taken a close look at the growing needs of the people we serve, the financial realities facing behavioral health providers, and the steps necessary to sustain the level of care our clients deserve. Partnering with ARIA Kentucky represents a forward-looking, strategic investment in the long-term stability and strength of addiction treatment services across Kentucky.
Most importantly, our mission remains unchanged. There will be no interruption to client care or admissions, and all existing referral processes will remain in place. ARIA Kentucky also intends to hire a substantial portion of ARC’s current staff, ensuring that the same compassionate professionals who have made ARC what it is today will continue serving our clients.
The transition will take place over several months through a careful, phased approach, with continuity of care as our top priority.
Shawn Leon, Chief Executive Officer of Ethema Health Corporation, will be leading the teams at ARIA Kentucky.
While change can be challenging, it also brings opportunity, the opportunity to build upon what’s working, to grow stronger, and to continue offering hope to those who need it most.
Thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and support as we step into this new chapter together. Our mission remains, and will always be, to serve people with excellence, compassion, and faith. |
He’s so full of crap. Everyone knows what’s going on. It’s too late to save face now. You are one dumb businessman and attorney. Using other people’s tax money for your own personal gain. Good riddance.
It’s obvious that most of you know nothing of business, otherwise, you would be aware that there are many other centers that are also struggling to survive right now. It has nothing to do with what one is capable of doing, and everything to do with the politics, and lame insurer’s.
Politicians have a way of making things available, and at the same time, pulling the plug at their own benefit. Same as insurers.
Now, I’ll pose a question to you; “How would you suggest that one who needs admittance into addiction treatment, is to cover the cost of treatment, (and remain in the in-house treatment for help,) and that person hasn’t a penny to their name?”
Is that person not worthy of treatment and a life of recovery? There are no specific programs to help those patients. Out-patient treatment will not work for them.
Carfentanil is already in Western KY. It’ll be here before you realize. You can add it to the meth and fentanyl that’s already here. It’s coming from Mexico through Texas. You haven’t seen horrific drug use yet ! Just you wait! What are your answers and remedies going to be for that? You’d better be coming up with some really fast !!!
I doubt they committed fraud
We all know that ARC is in hot water with the FBI, I knew this day would come sooner or later. Crooked as it gets, just dropping people off at Walmart and Three rivers, all they cared about was keeping someone like 14 or 16 days so they could get that money, then if it didn’t work out oh well!!!! Then the homeless population in little ol Louisa!!! Tell ‘em that’s not ARCs fault.. Then pulling people away from the schools, and hospital to work for them. Only too lay people off because of greed. Trying to turn Louisa into the druggie capital of the state. But having the mayor and police dept on the payroll didn’t help either. All the grand jury cases with are rejects. Fighting out in the streets, trying to elect them in the city council. I hate it for the many working people who entrusted them as an employer, but the day they leave Lawrence county the better
But let’s not forget you have voted for these same people who have pulled the “plug” just wait until the Big Beautiful Bill goes into effect. Betty Ford Clinic here you go if you can afford it.
Hit the nail on the head. You dint do what they did in Little Louisa and think nobody notices. Ha., jokes on them.
They have milked the system for all they could get ,now the money has dried up. If it wasn’t for political connections that me or you could never have this thing (drug treatment centers) would have never got off the ground. One thing we have never heard …or won’t ever hear is the success rate of these rehab companies. Our tax dollars have 100 percent funded these businesses, we should be able to see the data . But we never will. Absolute greed is one reason this place got sold , and during an active federal investigation. Building a big mansion for everyone to see and luxury cars ain’t gonna get score any brownie points with the locals. People don’t like that sort of thing. A modest home and decent cars would have been sufficient. He could have built his mansion in another county somewhere but greed makes you say (Hey everyone ) look here what I’ve got….I feel sorry for the folks who supposedly got dropped off at Walmart in a town that they knew nothing about, I feel sorry for all those employees this Christmas that will have no job because of this, I feel sorry for our little community that had all these jobs and now folks don’t have them , I feel sorry for local businesses that counted on these employees to buy there goods. I feel sorry for folks that need addiction help that have no insurance or are unable to pay….and if they could pay they now have to deal with a company from Florida who could care less about our little town and our region and our Appalachian Values. And the little kids out there that counted on Mom and Dad working there probably will not have a Christmas this year. I wonder why they have now decided all the sudden to build a college? I guess there is a lot of money in that as well…..here we go again Louisa
