My daughter was recently admitted to Valley because of a suicide attempt. During the intake process we were told that we could come get our daughter at any time. My daughter was in the facility for 5 days. The facility did not do anything for her in that time. She felt worse than she did when she was admitted. The therapist that was assigned to my daughter set up an over the phone appointment with us as a family therapy session. The day came for the appointment and we didn't receive a call at or even close to the set time. We called and left a message. She still didn't call. We finally got ahold of the Therapist and she she forgot. My daughter said she had only talked to the therapist 1 time while she was there. But the therapist told us she had talked to my daughter a couple times. Then in the very next sentence she claimed to have talked to my daughter several times. When I confronted her about it, she quickly tried to change the subject. I told the therapist that it was obvious that my daughter wasn't getting the help she needed and that we would be picking her up later that day. She said ok then cut the meeting short. We picked my daughter up that day which was day 5. Our insurance only approved my daughter to stay for 5 days so we really weren't picking her up early. The facility contacted DHS stating that we pulled our child early from the program against their recommendations. So then we had DHS and The local police show up at our door. As if our family wasn't dealing with enough. Of course it was a open and shut case because there were no signs of abuse or neglect. The facility had also pulled my daughter out of her online school. We had to get her registered again to get her back on the roster so that she could continue her education. The facility told us at intake they needed to contact the school to let them know our daughter was in their care. This would excuse her from the days she had missed. Instead , she was pulled from the school. This also happened on the 5th day. Valley Behavioral Health is an absolute waste of a perfectly good building. Reading alot of the other reviews, there seems to be a trend of creating more issues than they are fixing. This is a Toxic facility that is more interested in collecting the insurance money than they are helping people. I wish I could give a negative star review but unfortunately I have to give at least 1 star to even write this review. If you are an adult seeking help for yourself. I strongly urge you to find a better facility. And If you are seeking help for your child, Please, Please dont make the mistake we did. There are much better facilities that truly want to help your child. Closer does not mean better. I hope and pray that you find the help you need for yourself or for your child. BUT THIS IS NOT THE PLACE.!!!!

The nursing staff is fabulous. I wish I could leave 5 stars. Billing is terrible. I was told that my insurance would pay $890 and that needed paid before treatment. Months later they sent a bill of almost $2000. I called to see what was going on with that. They said that the $890 was just an estimate and that I owed the remaining balance. I made a payment agreement for a direct payments out of my banking account for the 1st of every month, because that is our payday. No payments were missed. They still sent it to Frost-Arnett creditors even though they made the payment agreement! I paid off the remaining balance and almost a month later the creditors are still calling and mailing collection notices! 1 week of care costing out of pocket with good insurance is still almost $3000! My granddaughter said they kept her drugged the whole time and doesn't remember much except for having to eat with her hands and that floor was more comfortable than the mattress.

They always forget clothes or add ones you didn't bring your child with. First time my child went there he fell going to the bathroom and two of his front teeth were barely hanging and it was still attached to his gums so he was bleeding pretty bad had to go er. They are the worst place to go to I wish they would honestly have another place in fort smith.

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

Inpatient treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to mental health treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Valley Behavioral Health Systems offer inpatient treatment to men, women and children.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Clients in addiction recovery typically require robust, ongoing support, which rehab aftercare programs are designed to provide. These programs are premised on the idea that clients' mental, emotional, physical, social, and financial wellbeing is essential to recovery. Clients collaborate with their case managers and addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services they will need to thrive while in recovery. Clients may receive peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Friends kid was here for psychotic tendencies like beating their animals when mad, and trying to light himself and the house on fire with lighter fluid everywhere because he was bored. He snuck a lighter in his pocket before being admitted, they never checked him and tried to light himself on fire in the facility, they think he's ok to leave after two days
