About Methodist Family Health – Arkansas CARES – Little Rock
Little Rock, Arkansas, is home to Methodist Family Health – Arkansas CARES. Since 1992, this organization has been striving to break the cycle of addiction among pregnant women and mothers with children under 13. They offer residential treatment for women who are experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder diagnoses (dual diagnosis).
Their 120-day program provides a stable environment to step away from daily distractions and hone in on recovery. You can access a family centered approach founded on prevention, research, advocacy, education and treatment.
You’ll benefit from personalized care with proven approaches to get to the root of your addiction and mental health challenges. Group, individual and family therapy along with education, life skills training, parenting education and school interventions are available.
What stands out most to me is their dedication to keeping families together. You and your child will remain together throughout treatment. Along with participating in therapy collectively, they ensure your child has their own therapeutic experience. You’ll both benefit from gaining essential coping skills and the tools to strengthen your family dynamic.
They understand that getting back on your feet after treatment comes with many hurdles. They help you build a sustainable lifestyle with GED testing coordination and employment preparation to improve stability. That way, you and your child will leave treatment with a path for self sufficiency and long term recovery.
