No client has ever been coerced or mandated to participate in ARRIVE, Exponents oldest and largest program, with over 8,000 graduates. Participation is completely voluntary.
Our progressive approach to working with substance abusers is based on "meeting people where they're at." This is achieved by offering a continuum of free services to active addicts and those at varying stages of recovery.
Our innovative model programs serve a larger percentage of chronically ill substance abusers than traditional programs serving drug abusers, yet we achieve a higher success rate.
We have a unique learning- and value-based culture that uses role models who represent hope through overcoming their addictions and successfully coping with their chronic conditions.
Our inclusive environment welcomes people of every race, gender, age, and sexual orientation. The diversity of our participants also includes people at varying stages of addiction and recovery.
Approximately 85% of Exponents' 40-person staff are graduates of our programs.
82% of our funding goes directly toward programs. Only 18% is used for management, administration, and fundraising.

Our inclusive environment welcomes people of every race, gender, age, and sexual orientation. The diversity of our participants also includes people at varying stages of recovery.
