Conway Behavioral Health Hospital

About the Facility

Conway Behavioral Health Hospital is a medical facility specializing in treating behavioral disorders in addition to drugs and alcohol in Conway, Arkansas. Located just outside Little Rock, the facility utilizes its rustic setting to incorporate nature into the medical and therapeutic treatment. They treat men, women, and adolescents and feature modern amenities on site.

Their care team includes medical professionals, therapists, counselors, and other licensed and trained specialists. They approach each client as an individual in need of personalized care.

Clients in crisis or with severe symptoms receive care through the inpatient program. They live on campus while receiving direct care under close monitoring 24 hours a day, away from everyday living distractions. The facility is a secure and comfortable clinical setting.

Inpatient care uses a mix of therapeutic approaches personalized to each client’s needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and behavioral acceptance therapy (ABT). All therapies are provided in group, individual, and family settings. Treatment also uses experiential therapy activities, such as yoga and art therapy.

Clients have their medication managed by staff. Clients craft care plans alongside their care team following an assessment to determine their needs and address their concerns.

Clients who aren’t in crisis can still benefit from a structured environment when receiving addiction treatment. IOP is for individuals in stable living situations with mild symptoms. IOP allows clients to live at home while receiving treatment at the facility three to five days a week for nine to fifteen hours weekly.

PHP is the level of care between IOP and inpatient treatment. Some clients with severe symptoms, but not so intense that they need constant monitoring on campus, attend treatment sessions five days a week, much like PHP. However, they meet for 30 hours a week.

Both PHP and IOP focus on group sessions. Groups focus on healthy living and coping skills, including symptom management, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and anger management.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to the treatment. Treatment facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Conway Behavioral Health offers acute psychiatric inpatient program for men and women ages 18 and above.

Medically Assisted Detox

The process of a medically assisted detox is when all addictive substances are removed from your body. Usually performed in an inpatient setting, you are under the 24/7 care of licensed medical medical professionals who keep you safe and comfortable during the detoxification. Medications are often administered to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms.The process can vary in length, but it typically takes 5-7 days.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients enrolled in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) may receive up to 20 hours of outpatient treatment per week, but a minimum of nine hours is standard. The intensity and frequency of treatment declines gradually as clients become more stable and prepare to transition to standard outpatient programs. Intensive outpatient treatments generally encompass a variety of modalities, including individual, group, and family therapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term outpatient treatment option for those who do not require 24-hour care. PHP treatment can be used as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step down from a residential program. For a minimum of 20 hours a week, you'll make a commute to the center and return home in the evening. During PHP treatment, you can receive medication management, relapse prevention strategies, and behavioral therapy interventions.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive way of stimulating the brain in order to help with symptoms of depression. TMS uses elecromagnetic coils to deliver magnetic pulses to the brain, which can improve a patient's mood and ease depression. It's often used when other depression treatments haven't worked.
