Addiction Recovery Care Appoints New Chief Executive to Lead Regional Network
Louisa, Thursday, 6 August 2026.
Addiction Recovery Care has appointed Randy Hunter as chief executive to stabilize operations following former CEO Tim Robinson Jr.’s federal fraud indictment and upcoming 2027 trial.
Executive Leadership Transition Announced
Addiction Recovery Care (ARC), headquartered in Ashland, Kentucky, officially announced a major executive leadership transition on August 6, 2026, appointing Randy Hunter as its new Chief Executive Officer [1]. Hunter, who will simultaneously maintain his executive role at Frontier Behavioral Health, is expected to leverage proven management and operational best practices from his previous position to streamline healthcare delivery and bolster financial stabilization across ARC’s regional addiction treatment network [1]. This appointment marks a significant shift for the company as it navigates ongoing operational challenges and seeks to reinforce its service delivery model [1].
Continuity in Operations Management
Cassandra Webb, who served as interim CEO, will remain with ARC as president and chief operating officer to ensure continuity during the leadership change [1]. Hunter expressed gratitude for Webb’s exceptional leadership, agility, and dedication as interim CEO, noting they will work closely as ARC moves into its next chapter [1]. Hunter is a retired Kentucky State Police trooper and former investigator for the Kentucky attorney general’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit [1]. He continues to serve as CEO of Frontier Behavioral Health, a Prestonsburg-based network of substance use disorder treatment facilities [1].
Legal Challenges for Former Leadership
The leadership change occurs amidst legal difficulties for ARC founder and former CEO Timmy Robinson Jr., whose federal trial was recently delayed [2][3]. The federal trial, originally set for August 10, 2026, has been rescheduled to begin on February 1, 2027, following a request by attorneys for more time to review evidence [2][3]. Robinson was indicted in June 2026 on one count of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering, to which he has pleaded not guilty [2][3]. The delay was granted on July 31, 2026, following the filing of the request on July 29, 2026 [3].
Strategic Outlook and Contact Information
Hunter stated that while navigating this transition, the company’s commitment to the people of Kentucky remains unchanged [1]. ARC is dedicated to providing evidence-based treatment services that are clinically appropriate, medically necessary, and tailored to the unique needs of each person who entrusts the network with their care [1]. ARC operates a network of licensed addiction treatment centers across Kentucky and can be contacted for substance use disorder assistance at 1-888-351-1761 or via ARCcenters.com [1].
