About Arkansas Department of Human Services
Just steps from the historic Arkansas State Capitol, this center helps people of all ages facing emotional, behavioral, and substance-related challenges. It offers outpatient, inpatient, and crisis care, with special focus on trauma, neurodevelopmental disorders, co-occurring conditions, and serious mental illness. These services were constituted under divisions like Behavioral Health, Youth and Family Services, and Developmental Disabilities and Aging Division.
Build Strength Through Support
Their approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, using therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Family therapy and peer support are also essential part of the care, helping people feel seen and supported.
Access Care That Connects
Clients benefit from unique programs like school-based mental health, crisis stabilization units, and Save AR Students, which brings prevention and recovery tools into schools. The center also offers early intervention for autism and developmental delays, and coordinates care for older adults with dementia through specialized aging services.
