Intensive Case Management: ARCS works with Medicaid-eligible clients and families whose needs are especially great through this family-centered intensive program. With an emphasis on families, our staff offers support for HIV-positive individuals, their spouses, significant others, families, and people at risk. Working in teams of three, we assist people who have difficulty accessing necessary medical, financial and support services. We do this through home and office visits.

ARCS also works with clients who are without Medicaid or private insurance. We do this through grant funding. Each client in need of case management services is assigned a single case manager, receiving services through office and home visits.

Counseling: The following types of counseling and treatment services are offered to our clients.

• Individual, couples and family counseling
• Assistance with returning-to-work issues
• Harm reduction and substance use counseling
• Support and discharge planning for county jail inmates

Client Emergency Fund: Clients can apply for funds to cover expenses in emergency situations and unpredictable circumstances. ARCS maintains this small reserve of funding to assist clients in times of extreme need.
