About Millcreek Behavioral Health

Upon admission, each child receives a comprehensive diagnostic and psychiatric evaluation. The degree of substance abuse and any co-occurring mental health conditions are evaluated with the help of this process. Based on the findings, an interdisciplinary treatment team develops a personalized drug addiction treatment plan taking into consideration each child’s unique needs and objectives.

Although co-occurring disorder symptoms may be treated with medication, the program does not place a strong emphasis on medication or detoxification. Treatment teams provide residents with ongoing monitoring to ensure effective management.

The goal of weekly one on one therapy sessions is to pinpoint the underlying causes of substance abuse and teach healthier coping skills. These sessions cover a range of topics including social skills, coping mechanisms and behavior management.

Families are advised to participate in at least twice monthly sessions that foster better communication and address any family dynamics that may have an impact on recovery. Frequent visitation times allow for ongoing family interaction during the stay as well.

Through adventure sports and the arts, residents develop important social skills in a fun and supportive environment. Each resident takes part in a fully recognized educational program that provides personalized education according to their particular academic needs.

As your child nears the end of the residential program, you will meet with a case manager to talk about what to do next. To ensure that your child can successfully reintegrate into their family life without developing an addiction, they will assist you in scheduling follow-up appointments with outpatient providers and connect you with nearby resources.

The program at Millcreek was exactly what my family member needed. The staff took data every few minutes, fine tuning the skills being taught and supported. They accentuated the positive behaviors. When I visited, I noticed genuine care. Each time a staff member passed by and my family member addressed them, they stopped what they were doing, looked her in the eye with a smile on their face, and conversed with her. They addressed her with love and respect. I truly appreciated the support they extended to me, as well. The skills she learned there from her therapist have stuck with her. She blossomed at Millcreek leaps and bounds more than any other place she has been. I highly recommend this place!

My son is currently a residential patient here, and I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the care and support he’s received. I adopted my son from foster care in 2021, after fostering him for some time. From the very beginning, it was clear that he carried a significant amount of trauma from his early childhood experiences. Over the years, we’ve faced many challenges together, and he has spent time in and out of several local facilities across Idaho in an effort to find the support he needed. This is the second residential treatment center he’s been placed in, and the difference we’ve seen has been remarkable. For the first time in a long time, my son is truly thriving. His confidence is growing, he’s finding stability, and he’s beginning to rediscover joy—and for that, I am beyond thankful. The work your team does may not always be easy or fully seen, but please know it matters deeply. You’ve given my son more than care—you’ve helped give him a foundation for a better future. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being there for him and for families like ours. Your compassion and dedication have made a lasting impact, and I hope you all truly understand how much you are appreciated.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Millcreek Behavioral Health works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient rehabs ensure that clients continue to receive robust and consistent therapeutic care without requiring them to reside at the treatment center. The frequency and intensity of treatment depend on clients' evolving needs, ranging from daily to weekly addiction counseling and recovery education. Outpatient programs often include peer coaching, life skills training, and individual, group, and family counseling. Outpatient levels of care include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living/halfway housing, and standard outpatient care.

Clients undergoing treatment at an inpatient rehab receive extensive therapeutic support through daily addiction counseling and recovery-focused services. These often include addiction education and life skills training. Many inpatient facilities also offer evidence-based holistic therapies, such as massage, yoga, acupuncture, creative arts therapy, and experiential therapy. Inpatient care is typically best suited for clients who recently completed detox, are in early recovery, or at a heightened risk of relapse.

During many phases of addiction treatment, you'll need to receive 24-hour clinical care in Arkansas. This supervision ensures your safety during the detox process. Licensed medical professionals and experienced addiction specialists provide medication management, non-addictive medication to curb withdrawal symptoms, and frequent monitoring of vital signs.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

Developed in the 1970s, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy based in cognitive behavior therapy. DBT is designed specifically to help people who experience emotions intensely. It is used to treat substance use disorder, anxiety, and depression, among other mental health disorders.

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.

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.

The goal of trauma therapy is to address the lingering mental, emotional, and physical lingering effects of a traumatic event. Your therapist helps you process this trauma and build resilience to face future challenges.

If you participate in couples therapy, your therapist may use one or more methods to help you improve communication and resolve conflict. These techniques can include emotionally focused therapy, psychodynamic couple's therapy, and cognitive behavioral 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.

Developing life skills while undergoing rehab treatment in Arkansas is a crucial part of your recovery. During treatment, you may focus on learning communication skills, critical thinking skills, problem solving, self awareness, assertiveness, and coping skills.

Recreational therapy uses physical activity and hobbies to support alcohol and drug addiction recovery in Arkansas. They help improve your physical health and provide you with a sense of accomplishment, which is critical to overcoming addiction. These activities could include gardening, music, or sports. They help to promote relaxation and build a supportive community.

The food is pessimistic, and the treatment they give you is the worst thing in the world, they are some louts, and I hate them, and I wish them the worst

My husband and I put our son in this facility in September 2025. He had mental health issues. He continued to not listen to us and do whatever he wanted. So, we thought this would help. Our son Skyler also made comments about wishing he was never born. He would call us from this place a few times a week. He would tell us about fights all the time. He also said one time the staff told him it was very weird for him to be talking to children younger than himself. My son's maturity level was not that of a 17yr old. So, in November. They called us and said they were going to discharge him because he wasn't bad like the kids there. He was polite to staff and others. So, my husband and I picked him up on November 14th, 2025. He was so happy to be home. On Dec. 11th, we found our son that morning, he had taken his own life. I'm not saying this is the facilities fault. I am saying that any facility like this is just a glorified babysitter and they absolutely do not help the children there. The mental health facilities and therapists in AR, are a complete joke. I am telling my son Skyler's story in hopes to possibly help anyone who reads this. Thank you!
