DesignHub Creates Web Site for Chelsea Arbor Older Adult Recovery Center

SALINE, MI – DesignHub, Inc., an Ann Arbor area creative services and marketing firm, has developed the new Web site for the Chelsea Arbor Addiction Treatment Center’s Older Adult Recovery Center (OARC) in Ann Arbor, MI.

The Chelsea Arbor Addiction Treatment Center, a joint program of Chelsea Community Hospital and the University of Michigan Health System, treats alcoholism and other substance abuse problems. The OARC program, which is one of several Chelsea Arbor programs, specializes in helping older adults concerned about their dependence on alcohol, addictive medications, and other drugs.

Visitors to the new OARC site, http://www.med.umich.edu/psych/sub/OARC/index.html (also linked from http://www.chelseaarbor.org), will find detail on the program’s clinic services, including inpatient and outpatient detoxification, intensive outpatient treatment, and standard outpatient treatment. Also covered are the risks and effects of heavy drinking and mixing alcohol with medicines.

Highlighting the site are personal testimonials from recovering substance abuse patients who have benefited from the OARC program. An online questionnaire entitled “Do I Have a Problem?” helps site visitors determine whether to seek professional help. Another section provides a checklist of substance abuse symptoms. Site visitors will also find contact information for substance abuse self-help groups.

DesignHub’s services to OARC included Web site planning, design of the site’s graphical user interface, and site programming.
