About Millcreek Behavioral Health – Fordyce
Located in Fordyce, Arkansas, Millcreek Behavioral Health is a residential facility for kids and teenagers struggling with addiction, substance abuse and related mental health issues. Recovery is a journey, and their caring staff is committed to helping residents get through it.
Upon admission, each child receives a comprehensive diagnostic and psychiatric evaluation. The degree of substance abuse and any co-occurring mental health conditions are evaluated with the help of this process. Based on the findings, an interdisciplinary treatment team develops a personalized drug addiction treatment plan taking into consideration each child’s unique needs and objectives.
Although co-occurring disorder symptoms may be treated with medication, the program does not place a strong emphasis on medication or detoxification. Treatment teams provide residents with ongoing monitoring to ensure effective management.
The goal of weekly one on one therapy sessions is to pinpoint the underlying causes of substance abuse and teach healthier coping skills. These sessions cover a range of topics including social skills, coping mechanisms and behavior management.
Families are advised to participate in at least twice monthly sessions that foster better communication and address any family dynamics that may have an impact on recovery. Frequent visitation times allow for ongoing family interaction during the stay as well.
Through adventure sports and the arts, residents develop important social skills in a fun and supportive environment. Each resident takes part in a fully recognized educational program that provides personalized education according to their particular academic needs.
As your child nears the end of the residential program, you will meet with a case manager to talk about what to do next. To ensure that your child can successfully reintegrate into their family life without developing an addiction, they will assist you in scheduling follow-up appointments with outpatient providers and connect you with nearby resources.
