ANYTHING IS ‘POSSIBLE’ –
Aug. 2, 2024 – ARC has developed a reputation for aggressive expansion since it was launched by Tim Robinson, a lawyer who founded the company with a single halfway house for alcohol treatment in 2010. Fueled by the availability of new Medicaid funds for SUD since 2014 under Obama Care, ARC operates 1,800 treatment beds.
Last year, ARC took in $130 million in Medicaid funds, the government health plan which gets most of its money from the federal government, making it by far the state’s largest provider of substance use services.
Robinson and his wife, Lelia, own ARC and some related entities which provide them with an annual income of $533,400, according to a 2022 tax filing of a related non-profit company, Odyssey Inc.
The company has been singled out for praise by politicians including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, who spoke at an ARC ribbon cutting for a new ARC facility in March.
“With the help of organizations like ARC, we are working to build a safer, healthier commonwealth for our people,” Beshear said.
He also praised Robinson, ARC’s founder, in his State of the Commonwealth speech in January.
