"In mathematics, an arc is a part of a circle, and we expect this program to become a major part of closing the circle of care around folks struggling with addiction. It also brings to mind Noah's Ark, which saved mankind from the overwhelming circumstances of the floodwaters. We expect that this program will be that kind of hope for the people who cannot find their own way out of the drowning influence of addiction."
