Addiction Recovery Care

Addiction Recovery Care (ARC) was once Kentucky's largest residential addiction treatment service provider, founded by Tim Robinson with a stated mission to help those struggling with drug addiction. However, recent reports from the Lexington Herald-Leader and ProPublica have brought the organization under scrutiny. Dozens of former clients and staff have come forward with troubling accounts. Investigators and former staff allege that ARC may have used clients to commit fraud, specifically by falsifying invoices to bill Medicaid for millions of dollars. Following years of warnings regarding excessive billing practices, the state has implemented reforms. The ongoing investigation and allegations of fraudulent activity make ARC a significant current news topic concerning the integrity of addiction treatment services and their financial operations.
