LAKE COUNTY became an ARI site in October 2013 to enhance its problem-solving courts (Drug, Mental Health, and Veterans Treatment & Assistance Courts). In 2022, Lake County ARI expanded its services to create a DUI Diversion Program which is also supported by ARI funding.
Lake County ARI provides a continuum of care for participants, including residential substance use disorder treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy (Moral Reconation Therapy), motivational interviewing, Thinking for a Change groups, courses on anger management and parenting, recovery coaching services, peer support and mentoring, and recovery home placement. Lake County ARI is responsive to social determinants of health by providing participants transportation assistance and connections to community-based organizations offering sober living initiatives and training opportunities.
