A mobile app to support those in addiction recovery, helping them to track progress, boost motivation and link to the recovery network in Edinburgh. Available for iOS and Android phones.
ARC2.0 has been developed for anyone in recovery from addiction to drugs or alcohol in Edinburgh. We originally developed this app and its features by working with the recovery comumunity and EADP. In 2021, we are very excited to release an updated app with the same support from EADP and recovery community.
Our app brings together information and tools to help you access recovery services, organise your life and keep you motivated to stay on track. This year we release a new and improved app for people who want to track progress, boost motivation and access and create links with their local recovery network.
Further information regarding reducing alcohol and drug problems within Edinburgh is available on the Edinburgh Alcohol and Drug Partnership website. We also host an ARC2.0 directory of the help and support available.

Edinburgh Alcohol and Drugs Partnership is the body which plans drug and alcohol services in Edinburgh. ARC2.0 has been funded by EADP. Read why below.
"We hope that ARC Edinburgh helps people to plan and reflect on their journey, and to find the professional help that they need and, above all, to connect with others in recovery. The reason that we support ARC is that recovery is out there in Edinburgh. On any day, in any part of the city, there are groups of people who are in recovery and who come together to share their experience strength and hope with each other. This works: people make changes when they can see people who have made the same changes. People come back and they help each other and their generosity and compassion enables others to change and thrive."
