What to Expect at Alcohol & Drug Rehabs in Arkansas

You may have many questions about what to expect at an Arkansas drug or alcohol rehab center. However, be aware that no two programs are exactly the same and your individual treatment may depend on which type of substance you are receiving treatment for or if you also have a co-occurring disorder. Only a physician can recommend you enter any certain level of care or receive any type of therapeutic addiction treatment. You may wish start your rehab stay with detox treatment.6 A typical day involves a variety of behavioral therapies and structured activities, and some people require medication-assisted treatment as well.6

If you are in an inpatient rehab program, you will stay there 24/7. If you are in an outpatient program, you will go home at night, and your treatment may last a few hours a week, up to 20 hours per week. In both inpatient and outpatient treatment, group counseling is common.7 Some rehab programs also offer vocational training, legal support, and other related services.6

Does Arkansas Have Special Addiction Laws & Programs?

Arkansas does have a Good Samaritan law related to overdoses. Typically, these laws protect people so they don’t get into legal trouble when they get help for an overdose or call for help for another person, though the laws vary regarding when and how charges could be filed.8 The state of Arkansas also has an extensive licensure program for alcohol and drug abuse treatment programs.9 The first of such standards were established in the early 1980s, with revisions made periodically from there.9

Are There Emergency & Same-Day Rehabs in Arkansas?

Some rehab centers can admit you the same day you call or walk in. However, this will depend upon the availability of openings and other factors about the programs. If you believe that you or your loved one needs emergency treatment, call 911 or call our addiction hotline.
