About Northeast Arkansas Treatment Services – Jonesboro
Northeast Arkansas Treatment offers drug and alcohol treatment to men and women. They specialize in opioid addiction and offer medication assisted treatment to individuals on an outpatient basis.
This program combines FDA-approved medications with mental health counseling. Clients begin with a screening and assessment to determine the appropriate treatment plan and dosage.
A medical doctor oversees prescribing methadone to support clients in reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Mental health counseling helps identify triggers.
Clients are able to work on a relapse prevention plan and process emotions associated with the addiction recovery process. Toward the latter part of treatment, clients will be tapered off their medications and supported in finding a transitional treatment plan to continue their abstinence.
Often, clients will continue to participate in self-help groups such as the 12 Steps, SMART Recovery, or individual therapy with their mental health counselor.
