Who We Are

Advanced Recovery Systems is an integrated behavioral health care management company dedicated to the treatment of addiction, substance abuse, and co-occurring mental health issues and eating disorders. It operates residential rehab facilities, outpatient centers and sober living homes across the United States. Drs. Mitchell Eisenberg and Lewis Gold founded Advanced Recovery Systems in December 2013. The longtime business partners led Sheridan Healthcare for more than 20 years before investing in the first of Advanced Recovery Systems’ facilities, The Recovery Village in Umatilla, during the summer of 2013. In 2015, ARS expanded significantly, opening four residential rehab facilities: The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake, the Orlando Recovery Center and The Recovery Village Ridgefield. Today, the company operates several residential rehab facilities that are open to the general public and one residential facility designed specifically for members of the International Association of Fire Fighters. Additionally, ARS operates a community of three recovery residences in Central Florida. The company employs more than 750 people across the United States. All ARS facilities are licensed by their respective states. Every treatment facility is accredited by The Joint Commission, an independent nonprofit organization. Along with a team of writers, editors and outreach specialists, ARS strives to connect individuals and families affected by addiction with accurate information about substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.

How We’re Different

Advanced Recovery Systems provides patient-centered, evidence-based health care in an environment that empowers people to embrace recovery.

Our multi-disciplined approach to comprehensive addiction treatment addresses the underlying causes of substance use disorders, including co-occurring disorders, trauma and emotional issues.
  • Therapeutic Learning: We teach clients about the underlying causes of addiction and how negative emotions and thoughts reinforce addictive behaviors.
  • Cognitive Healing: We help clients change the way they perceive, think and reason by helping them identify negative emotions and replace them with positive thoughts and feelings.
  • Medication Assistance: When appropriate, our medical staff provides patients with medications that reduce cravings and ease symptoms of withdrawal.
Our staff tailors treatment plans for each person’s unique needs and creates comprehensive aftercare plans that set clients up for lifelong recovery. Our staff works closely with clients and their families before, during and after treatment. Our goal is to ensure that clients continue their recovery long after they leave the facility.
