Overview

Mission

Archway recovery services provides compassionate, evidence-based treatment and prevention services that serve to address addiction and its root causes - empowering individuals to recover, familes to heal, and communities to thrive.

What it reported doing in 2024

Archway recovery services (ars) remains the leading drug & alcohol rehabilitation program for residents of solano and napa counties, California, in need of financially assisted addiction therapy and support. We offer detox and residential substance abuse treatment in warm, caring environments, as well as outpatient programs and sober-living homes. In 2024, ars operated 14 facilities in fairfield, California and one facility in napa: two residential treatment programs for men and women, one intensive outpatient program for men and women, an administrative office and nine sober living environments for men and women. During 2024 we invested in consolidating two outpatient treament programs into one new facility. This has led to further improvement in client services and outcomes. The year 2024 saw another year of growth for ars' services. The organization expanded the number of people served, supporting new relationships with referral partners formed in prior years. Ars served men referred from with the California department of corrections and rehabilitation, as well as men and women referred by the solano county department of probation, the solano county district court, and the federal court. The organization was awarded a number of multi-year grants and contracts beginning in 2022 and through 2024, which continue to support the growth we have been experiencing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
