During treatment, individuals follow specific tracks depending on their mental health issues or substance use issues. Treatment consists of trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy. This treatment incorporates trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive behavioral, family, and humanistic principles and techniques. Trust-based relational intervention is also used and consists of holistic, attachment-based, evidence-based, and trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. Recreation therapy and pet therapy are also used in treatment. Processing and psychoeducation groups are provided each day.
Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.
Inpatient 
Intervention Services The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
The goal of drug rehab in Arkansas is to help individuals stop using addictive substances and learn healthy ways to remain clean long-term. Participants learn vital skills to cope with cravings and manage stress, to prevent relapse.
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.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

They informed me that my brother was getting discharged one day before. That was unpolite, we need to prepare ourselves and from one day to another we could not get a lot of things done. After picking up, we realized he’s on so many meds that he’s out of his mind. Overme ...
I have written this review previously but I assume it was taken down. We have a very poor experience here both times my daughter was admitted here. Specifically Dr. Huynh told my daughter, who has RAD, that she would be put back up for adoption (totally not true) she then lied to me about it however all of her colleagues backed up that she did say that. I confronted her and she was very rude and continued to lie. I came and got my daughter from the facility and reported the Dr to the state medical board. The ceo of perimeter was very nice and said he would address this with the doctor as well. As long as this terrible woman is here I wouldn’t send my dog here!
One star for the receptionist Passionea. One star for the staff. Daily staff admin not included . One star for all the children that inhibit this place for understanding. When my son is there and I call and ask for someone to call me back for details of my son and his needs while there and you don't call me back............my nerves are already gone and then you leave me with no answers and my son is crying wondering what he's gonna do. This place traumatized me more as also probably him. You need to call parents back about there children . Especially if I have called 4 times and visited 2 times. My child and the communication of his treatment is a priority to me as much as I can make it that way. Upset and disgruntled is not the word. I'm here to pick him up now and I apologize if any future treatment is needed I doubt this will be an option. Thank you to the staff that endured my son while he was here . Thank you to the children that befriended him and made him feel welcome. Thank you to the local police that saw how adamant I was for getting to him .
I was sent here and I was a fairly good patient, had days where I was scared. Long story short the staff are unprofessional, sit on there phones and don't engage with the kids to help them have a better stay and to be better than when they came out of here. There were so many times where kids would get hurt because staff would engage in getting the kids roudy and then writing them up for there own mistakes. Parents please dont send your kid here there food is trash as well and honestly makes the kids worse in the long run!
Amazing and my child told me he didn't get mistreated that he liked them because they were very nice him. Thank yall so much 💓
Food was so ass. They kept me way longer then I needed to be there with the excuse of "med changes" staff were VERY unprofessional and RUDE! They do NOT restrain people in the way they should be either. PLACE SUCKS ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Horrible experience!! My son was supposed to be there for 7-14 days... ended up being there longer due to him repeately having blow ups... they took him off every single med hes been taking for a very long time so of course he is going to be agitated. Side note Im a nurse and yes I understand why they "had to do that" but being there for the children you should listen to caretakers and other doctors (he has been seeing a wonderful childrens psychiatrist for a couple years now) on meds/techniques that are working or not! Instead lets restrain and give an injection (of the same class med only much more powerful btw...) to this child already having a super rough time....Even though I repeatedly expressed this concern to multiple people (he has been receiving mental health treatment for quite some time and been doing SO well at home) my concerns mostly went unheard. They did readd the medication as needed half way thru his stay... its not really an as needed med though the way it works. I kept being told we had to have a family visit upon discharge- no visit yet- called to check on him and was informed he was being discharged and I could pick him up anytime after 1000 - its 1005 at this point and Im at work with noone else to get him on such short notice. So that made things that much more difficult transitioning home. Also his discharge paperwork all had the wrong dates on it and some dates were even scratched out and wrote new above. His note for school dated his stay leaving 5 days before he got out... his birthdate was also wrong. He said he told them it was wrong but I noticed in the dc paperwork. Communication was very poor the whole time during his stay- I had left multiple messages for the nurse checking in on my child and even replying right back to a missed call right afterwards one night and when i finally got ahold of them the next day the nurse told me they couldnt even check that voicemail just to keep calling back if I cant get thru. They always seemed caring and friendly when I did get to speak to someone otherwise.
Very bad experience staff were rough with kids and the place makes you’re mental health worse and there to much going on there and they can’t keep it under control
The communication was very poor throughout our daughter’s stay. Discharge was sudden and abrupt without a family session for us to meet and prepare for transitioning her home with feeling set up for success to best support her. Hearing from her, minimal time was spent actually working through things therapeutically. I also encountered unkind responses from staff when calling for information and asking normative questions that any parent would have. I know that many working here have a high stress and very difficult job to do. I’m thankful there are places like this children can go in their great distress. But it would make the experience a little less trying on families if the communication was improved to be more informative and more endearing. For most of us, this isn’t a regular part of our life or routines so we aren’t as calloused to the rhythms of this experience like those that work in it daily. We need better for our children and youth and the families who are in great need during times of crisis.
I've called several times. They don't care. I just want to say goodnight. They don't care.
PARENTS. PLEASE READ. If you read the reviews, you will see alot of mixing, but you will notice a patern of parents loving, and patients, hating it. This is for a reason. Please. Listen to the kids. I volunteerly came to this facility in 2021, I had been to previous facilities that had helped me and were wonderful, this one was NOT. Most the nurses here are emotionally and physically abusive. The doctors don't care on fixing the meds, infact they care on maxing out the most expensive ones. The food is horrible, and unhealthy. The therapy sessions are limited, some people only see the therapist once upon months, some only once the entire visit. The visits you have with your kids, are monitored, the calls are monitored, the letters if you get them, are monitored, this may seem safe or like thats a good thing, but it isnt, any bad talk about the staff, the treatment, whatever, is seen as "bad" "gloomy" just gets the kid more time in this hell hole. I know the parents in these reviews say that the kids say it helped, but it's only cause the kids had no choice. Don't send your kid here. Pick another place.
