Press Release (PDF)
Assisted Recovery Centers of America, Midwest (ARCAMW)
opened a second clinic. Located in the Chesterfield Valley area of
western St. Louis the treatment center is conveniently located at the intersection
of I-64/40 and Boones Crossing (exit 17).

Percy Menzies, M. Pharm., RSAP, founded ARCA Midwest in response to the growing
need for effective addiction treatment, especially
opioid drugs like VICODIN, OXYCONTIN and heroin. Menzies attributes the
success of ARCAMW to their non-traditional approach of treating clients on
an outpatient basis, helping them to live with their
addictions in their normal environment. This approach is not only cost effective
but allows patients to rehabilitate in complete confidentiality.
Assisted Recovery Midwest (ARCAMW) specializes in the outpatient treatment
of addictive disorders through a combination of anti-craving
medication, non-12-Step counseling and psychiatric
treatment, which allows patients to return to work within days.
The ARCA program utilizes evidence-based treatment
which includes FDA-approved medications like SUBOXONE,
naltrexone and VIVITROL.

Dr. Celso Rodrigues, MD
Program Director 
Celso was born in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where
the mountains meet the ocean and the summer is the only season year around.
As a teenager he enjoyed science and gymnastics and decided that the medical
field would be fun and always challenging and he so prepared to go to Medical
School.
After a 6-year program, Celso graduated with honors and had his General Surgery Internship. After that, he joined the Brazilian Army to work in the General Surgery Department for 15 years and left on the rank of Major. He is married and has three beautiful children.
"A door opened for me to come to the States for additional training in the field of Cardiology. During this period I decided to extend my education and I was accepted in the Internal Medicine Program at the Forest Park Hospital in Saint Louis, Missouri, for a 3-year program. I completed my training in the summer of 2001 and I have been practicing medicine in St. Louis since my graduation."
Joining Assisted Recovery Centers of America "because the programs offer the most advanced management for drugs and alcohol treatment", he enjoys working as a team with patients and respective families.
"It is very rewarding to see the results and the changes in people’s lives with the tools we can offer."
Her dedication paid off and she graduated Summa Cum Laude and was listed in the Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.
Judy has worked extensively in geriatric nursing and sees her work with addiction recovery as an extension of her calling.
