Ouachita Behavioral Health and Wellness

About the Facility

Ouachita Behavioral Health and Wellness is a nonprofit mental health and substance abuse clinic in Glenwood, Arkansas, just east of Mud Lick Creek. They are a community-oriented clinic with walk-in and telehealth services. They serve clients of all ages.

Staff at this facility come from a wide variety of backgrounds. They work together to create person-centered treatment plans in line with their philosophy that recovery is possible for everyone. Services are offered on an outpatient basis.

Outpatient treatment, sometimes known as a day program of day treatment, is a level of care designed for clients who are deemed stable and don’t need close supervision. Clients in this program continue to live at home while visiting the clinic on a regular basis to receive treatment. Clients with severe symptoms may be required to complete a higher level of care before qualifying for outpatient care.

Clients work with staff to develop individualized treatment plans suited to their situation. Treatment includes one-on-one counseling, group therapy, family counseling, and marriage counseling. Outpatient care also includes education groups, which can focus on specific recovery skills or conditions. Therapeutic methods include EMDR. This is a specialized therapy for treating traumatic life experiences. EMDR utilizes eye movements to help clients process painful memories.

Ouachita Behavioral Health and Wellness accepts most forms of private insurance, including Humana, TRICARE, WellCare, Optum, Aetna, Medicaid, and Medicare. Clients should consult with their insurance provider to confirm coverage before enrolling, because in network and out of network benefits can vary.

Treatment

Alcoholism

Alcoholism (alcohol use disorder) affects a person mentally, physically, and relationally. A person with alcohol dependence craves alcohol and has an impaired ability to control their alcohol consumption. They experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop alcohol use. Individuals with this condition can achieve recovery through treatment. Alcohol rehab in Arkansas offers inpatient and outpatient options that provide counseling, support groups, and medication to help individuals overcome alcohol addiction and maintain recovery.

Drug Addiction

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.

Mental Health

Addiction treatment includes a heavy focus on mental health during your inpatient program. No matter the type of facility you choose - hospitals, clinics, or luxurious, hotel-like facilities - they all provide 24-hour care in a safe environment with mental health therapists and clinical staff. Mental health services include various treatment options, including individual and group counseling, addiction and relapse prevention education, and coping skills training. Additional offerings like family therapy, recreational opportunities, yoga, or mindfulness training may be available.

Opioid Addiction

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.

Substance Abuse

In Arkansas, you can find substance abuse treatment programs to help you overcome addiction. These comprehensive programs offer various levels of care, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization. With evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), the programs effectively address substance abuse and any co-occurring disorders. By prioritizing your mental and emotional health, you’ll also gain the confidence and tools to maintain your sobriety.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

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.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

Trauma Therapy

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.
