Linda,who works the front desk is probably one of the worst employees I have ever seen. I know you have to be tough to work there, but she has no compassion or patience towards the people coming there. I've witnessed her behavior speaking to staff members be so sweet and caring, then turn right around to treating patients rudely, I'd rather drive an hour away to get help, then have to deal with her. Please do something about it

My sister was there and it was horrible. The roommate went through her journal and the staff didn’t care. all they did was give her medication and ignored her thought about anything else. her doctor wasn’t even there most of the time she was there she didn’t get to see her doctor till the third day she was there and that was the only day she saw her out of six days that she was up there. she only saw her therapist three times for like five minutes a day and that is not OK or acceptable. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE.

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 iconInpatient
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 iconIntensive Outpatient
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
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-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
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-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
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.

My child is currently receiving treatment here. I cannot give a true review as of yet but will follow up with an honest, unfiltered review as soon as she returns home. UPDATE: I discharged my child tonight. It was brought to my attention that overcrowding is occuring and questionable individuals have arrived. Having young girls mixed with men is hardly appropriate considering. Also if the word rape is happenstance then my guess is not many will receive the treatment that would be needed to heal when being in fear. Unfortunately I cannot leave a positive review.

I haven't been there but a loved one has. Not all but some staff will lie to patients and family. If you have any kind-of medical issue besides mental you won't get the care you need. Only 1 nurse I could call and get real updates on patient. On weekends patient does not see 1 doctor or APNs. And when your there for weekends your time doesn't count. No matter what care should be provided 7 days a week.

I will never recommend this place. My son walked out worse than when he walked in. All they did was give him Lexapro and didn't attempt to find the root cause or possibly dignosis him properly. I spoke with his therapist honestly ONCE and it was 2 mins. I called but no one would call me back. They lack communication on all levels. My son told me, he watched many others having severe anxiety attacks, manic episodes, etc and the staff just walked on by. Legit NO help at all. He said HE would have to ask for help or ask to talk to the therapist, they never came to him. NO ONE CARED ABOUT THE KIDS IN THIS FACILITY!! Finance called me and kinda laughed when I was having a break down on the cost his "treatment" was going to be for a week, after insurance. They are very demanding with money. They act like everyone just has thousands of dollars just laying around to give them immediately. They lied about the paperwork so my gross and net didn't match so I owed 2440 for 298/6mo but since my incomes didn't match up (remember they lied about what I needed to put down) now I owe $2440 for $398/6mo .... make that make any sense. Also, lobby smelled of pee so bad. At the end of the day, do NOT send your child here unless you are only looking for an expensive daycare.

My wife has been there since the day after Christmas for postpartum issues. She told me that the staff has written down other reasons for her being there. She has asked to speak to her actual doctor several times I’m being told that that has yet to happen and when she asked what she needed to do to get out of there, the nurse got it twisted and thought she wanted to sign herself out, which wasn’t even the case and they put her on a mandatory 72 hour hold In the time of her being there, I’ve gotten three different provider names and feel like I’m getting the runaround also being told that she’s wearing an ankle monitor and being treated like a common criminal For people trying to help end the stigma on Mental Health kinda doesn’t sound like y’all are really taking it seriously Spoke to a so-called patient advocate, and when I told them that I was gonna get a lawyer and have her discharged forcibly was threatened with the Police I’m calling the governor’s office and Medicaid because at this point her needs aren’t being met and y’all are fraudulently writing down reasons for her being there.

I went there around age 14. It was one of the worst places I been. The staff cussed Towards the patients. After I told staff multiple times that the girl I shared a room with who was 17 keep SA they Continued to keep me in that room. It was very understaffed and there was fights almost everyday. The worst fight is when some girls decided to punch staff I saw a 17 year old fight a 13 year old and bite into that 13 year old finger causing bleeding and when staff finally came on they didn’t know who was all in the fight so even the girls who did nothing got pinned down. The whole unit smelled of urine multiple girls including my self got lice and nothing was done about it. I felt very uncomfortable, and My thoughts are don’t send your child here When I went, they had an investigation and One girl at a time got questioned About how the staff was treating them. I feel like this place makes people mental health worse

I just got out of here yesterday, It wasn't bad at all. I can say that both supervisors I had the misfortune to know about and meet sucked. (Nicole and Tiffany, may have spelt the names wrong.) Tiffany had managed to trigger an entire classroom in less than 5 minutes causing me and many other patients to cry and have a shit day the rest of the day. There were some great staff members though, (Mac, Sara and one other that I cannot spell the name of.) The patients were very friendly, there were some issues in the unit I was in from some of them but that's expected. The problems were handled, may've taken a little longer than it should've but it was handled. Overall not a bad place, helped me in many ways. May not be the best solution to most but it helped me significantly.

I took my 13 year old son to Valley to receive treatment for emotional and behavioral issues, and on his first day in, he was jumped and beaten by three older boys, leaving him bruised and battered. They didn't even contact me about it to give me the option to have him seen at the ER. In fact, it was two days later, when he complained of pain in his ribs, before they sent him to the ER to be checked out. He was there for 8 days, and NOBODY called me during that time to tell me how he was doing, and I don't suppose they were ever planning to tell me about the assault on my son. This place is no joke, it's a horrible, dangerous place for your troubled child, and I strongly encourage you to seek out a facility that will take better care of your child than these incompetent clowns will. It will be my pleasure to see them shut down or at the very least re-staffed with genuine, compassionate, caring professionals. There is one exception to my complaints, Mary Beth, she is very professional and seems to genuinely care about people. Mary Beth, you deserve to work in a better place, your professionalism is greatly appreciated. If I can raise the funds, I would like to bring suit against Valley for my son's injuries. I took him there to help him, and they returned him to me more broken than before. Shame on them!
