When mental health and/or substance abuse issues arise, help is on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week at Dover Behavioral Health's Assessment Referral Center (ARC). No appointment or referral is needed.

ARC is staffed with highly trained behavioral healthcare professionals, including social workers, nurses, and counselors, who provide immediate access to confidential help – free of charge. Whether conducting telephone screenings or face-to-face assessments, ARC's behavioral healthcare specialists work as a team to develop and initiate the recommended course of treatment.

Our comprehensive assessments include:

• Evaluation of the presenting problem
• Mental health and substance abuse history
• Current mental status examination
• Safety assessment
• Level of care determination
• Financial considerations
• Plan of action, including referrals for ongoing support

ARC's services are responsive to the needs of individuals, families, and professionals.
