Public drug and alcohol rehabilitation services are run by Community Mental Health Centers, along with many other mental health services. These centers are run by the Arkansas Department of Human Services. Although public treatment is offered in Arkansas, most people find that private rehabilitation centers provide a more comprehensive service, and a higher rate of success.

People seeking rehabilitation would benefit from the help of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation referral service. Because rehabilitation is such an individualized process, there are many factors to consider when choosing a service. It is extremely important to find a service that fits well with an individual in order for them to have a higher chance at success.

Arkansas has over 40 drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that are privately run and can either bill through insurance or bill privately. Most private facilities also offer outpatient services with some offering residential care for patients.

Arkansas residents with drug or alcohol dependency issues are strongly encouraged to seek help from either public or private facilities. Many addictions in Arkansas are left untreated and can cause more serious problems both in the immediate future, and in the long term.
