ARCHway’s Story & Mission of HOPEARCHway was a vision created by John Stuckey (ARCHway Founder & Visionary)during his own journey with a drug addiction disease back in 2012 on the streetsof St. Louis, Missouri.When John finally reached out for professional help and as part of recovering hislife, he started to formulate a personal mission for himself. He wanted to help hisfriends who wanted to be in recovery but did not have the resources or support toget the professional help they needed.John felt strongly there were several things that needed to be addressed tochange the paradigms about the disease of addiction. He felt individuals, families, and communities needed to have a higherlevel of AWARENESS and be educated about the issues surrounding thisdisease and barriers to recovery. He felt strongly that treatment needed to include and focus on RECOVERYof the individual’s life as well as their health. He felt the only way to change the paradigm was to get the wholeCOMMUNITY involved because if any one part of the system is broken,then the whole system is broken as it relates to recovery for the individual. John also saw treatment needed to focus on the total HEALTH of anindividual because typically there is an underlying mental health disorderthat works with the disease of addiction.Living in St Louis, John came up with Awareness, Recovery, Community and Healthto create ARCHway Institute of Addictive Diseases and Co-Existing Mental HealthDisorders.Since ARCHway was created in 2013, it has grown to be active in seven states andhas helped individuals find resources nationwide. ARCHway and our volunteersfocus on: Assisting individuals suffering with addictive diseases and co-existingmental health issues by finding resources, including providing financialassistance for treatment. Providing education on the medical research concerning the disease ofaddiction as well as co-existing mental health issues to help change thestigma attached to this disease. Offering hope to families seeking support for recovery. Change the paradigms about addiction.John Stuckey-FounderWho We Are501(c)3 Non-ProfitFunded by PrivateDonationsBelieve in Evidence-Based TreatmentWho We Are NotTreatment CenterSober Living FacilityFunded by State orFederal GrantsDo Not GetReferralCommissionARCHway Institute – Driving Education &Awareness Through Organic GrowthThe ARCHway Institute Board recently updated its fiveyear plan.
