About Millcreek Behavioral Health

Millcreek Behavioral Health is a private mental health treatment facility in Fordyce, Arkansas, just north of Jug Creek. They specialize in treating emotional and developmental disorders. They serve children and teens.

Millcreek Behavioral Health offers two distinct residential programs: the Psychiatric Residential Treatment Program (PRTF) and the Residential Program for the Intellectually Challenged (ICF/IDD). PRTF hosts 111 clients and lasts four to six months, while ICF/IDD hosts 61 clients and lasts for 18 to 24 months.

The residential programs are designed for clients who have severe symptoms or who are otherwise considered high risk. Participants reside at the facility for the duration of treatment, where staff can monitor them and tend to their needs around the clock. Clients participate in group therapy, education groups, recreational activities, and life-skills development. Clients also receive medication management services.

Before completing the program, clients participate in discharge planning with their care team. This stage establishes a plan for clients to follow once they leave the program. Discharge planning typically puts clients in touch with local resources to help them continue supporting their recovery.

Millcreek Behavioral Health accepts SSI Medicaid, Medicaid A, TRICARE, and some state Medicaid and private insurance plans. However, clients should contact their insurance provider to confirm coverage, as in network and out of network benefits can vary.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs ensure that clients continue to receive robust and consistent therapeutic care without requiring them to reside at the treatment center. The frequency and intensity of treatment depend on clients' evolving needs, ranging from daily to weekly addiction counseling and recovery education. Outpatient programs often include peer coaching, life skills training, and individual, group, and family counseling. Outpatient levels of care include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living/halfway housing, and standard outpatient care.

Inpatient Rehab

Clients undergoing treatment at an inpatient rehab receive extensive therapeutic support through daily addiction counseling and recovery-focused services. These often include addiction education and life skills training. Many inpatient facilities also offer evidence-based holistic therapies, such as massage, yoga, acupuncture, creative arts therapy, and experiential therapy. Inpatient care is typically best suited for clients who recently completed detox, are in early recovery, or at a heightened risk of relapse.

24-Hour Clinical Care

During many phases of addiction treatment, you'll need to receive 24-hour clinical care in Arkansas. This supervision ensures your safety during the detox process. Licensed medical professionals and experienced addiction specialists provide medication management, non-addictive medication to curb withdrawal symptoms, and frequent monitoring of vital signs.

Treatment

Dual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Developed in the 1970s, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy based in cognitive behavior therapy. DBT is designed specifically to help people who experience emotions intensely. It is used to treat substance use disorder, anxiety, and depression, among other mental health disorders.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma Therapy

The goal of trauma therapy is to address the lingering mental, emotional, and physical lingering effects of a traumatic event. Your therapist helps you process this trauma and build resilience to face future challenges.

Couples Therapy

If you participate in couples therapy, your therapist may use one or more methods to help you improve communication and resolve conflict. These techniques can include emotionally focused therapy, psychodynamic couple's therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Life Skills

Developing life skills while undergoing rehab treatment in Arkansas is a crucial part of your recovery. During treatment, you may focus on learning communication skills, critical thinking skills, problem solving, self awareness, assertiveness, and coping skills.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy uses physical activity and hobbies to support alcohol and drug addiction recovery in Arkansas. They help improve your physical health and provide you with a sense of accomplishment, which is critical to overcoming addiction. These activities could include gardening, music, or sports. They help to promote relaxation and build a supportive community.

As a parent I am telling you, do NOT send your child to Mill Creek. I had no idea how bad this place was when I sent my daughter there. They treated her HORRIBLY, and left her traumatized. She has never been able to speak to me about it, and it has been over 10 years now since she was a patient there. I've had to hear about her awful experiences from her younger sister. It absolutely breaks my heart to know that she went through the abuse she did there. This place should be shut down, and the employees should be facing legal repercussions. I cannot believe it is still open and operating. Read the reviews people!!! All these past patients and parents are not lying. Any good reviews I would wager to say are from employees, or friends and family of employees, posing as past patient and parents to try and make this place place seem better than it is and keep them in a job, or perhaps from parents who simply do not want their children at home or do not care about them at all.

I was here twice. They staff were cruel they were drugging kids up to keep them quiet my best friend Anthony had to go to the state mental hospital to get weaned off all the meds they put him on. They isolate and abuse the kids here they let a literal riot happen they had a women who was almost 400 lbs kindly known as the hippo who would SIT on your chest or legs while they gave you a shot. It wasn t sanitary and educational needs were not met. This place needs to be shut down. I have seen kids get thrown in a room and left there for hours. I ve seen kids be attacked by the staff And pulled around by their hair. When I reported all of this to DHS, no one would believe me. I was there combined over A year-long. There was one girl who they had to keep switching between halls That s all this place was was just holes one small narrow space where you had to sit Unless you had a sit in your room all day and it was never cleaned. 20 plus girls sitting in a hall with staff members Almost 12 hours a day having lunch there because their Cafeteria was being remodeled Allergies were ignored. Diets were ignored. The only people that were treated decently. Were people called the TRICARE kids

I was here at 11 years old in 2011 this place was just enduring psychological torture, physical abuse & poor education. I still talk about this in therapy as now i m 24.I pray for the day legislators get rid of this filth. It s all a money cow, they give you such strict rules it s meant to keep you there.They show you a pretty brochure like it s some beautiful place then your parents sign you off & all of a sudden you re being kidnapped without explanation.

I was a past patient here around 2021 I was 17, Im now 20 years old and I can honestly say this place did not help me with anything in my life and gave me more ptsd than anything I still have nightmares of kids screaming and being treated like absolutely nothing, There was kids walking around like literal zombies because they try and keep them so sedated on medication, some staff would antagonize some of the patients, they would have the aggressive patients around the non-aggressive ones, and often times fights would break out. There was even a couple riots that happened while I was here, multiple patients fighting the staff, running away and kicking in doors to escape. the only reason I was admitted was because my mother was trying to get rid of me and didn t want me at home, my mother was psychologically abusing me for financial profit, I was being neglected at home I told everyone but nobody believed me and would not help me speak up, my long-term stay here made me gain a-lot of weight, made me miss out on key moments in my life that I can never get back, I couldn t graduate with my childhood friends that I was with since middle school or my class because I was sent to this place I missed job experiences that I needed while I was still young, I missed out on so much that I needed to learn before I was an adult. I am still struggling financially trying to do my best and I really think there needs to be more investigation with doctors on kids before they accept them to places like this because clearly, they ll just accept anybody to get the extra money because I was kept here for quite a while, they will try to keep you here as LONG as possible. if you care about your child, even a little bit do NOT send them here. If you would like to know anymore information about this place feel free to ask.

My mom works here and she is talking horrible abt it there everyday but when she brings her 9 year old daughter all the attention goes to me

I was placed here as a child around 1999. I was angry because nobody would listen to the fact that I was abused at home. I was seriously being abused. This facility did nothing to help me. As a matter of fact, I had a staff member named Deborah and Mrs. Daffney to allow another girl of a different ethnicity than me. The same ethnicity as those 2 staff to break my things. She made threats she was going break all my things before doing it. These 2 staff members sit there in the hall and watched in my room and heard the threats she made and allowed her to break my stereo, throw my clothes on the floor. She broke all my personal effects. I stood up, and these 2 staff members picked me up with tons of force. took me to the males time-out room, and threw me against the wall, slammed the door as my face began to bleed. The wall is concrete. I guess I stood up too fast because that was enough to warrant this to happen to me. I was wearing a pair of prescription glasses that shattered and part of the glass cut threw a layer of skin on my face. I was bleeding and required stitches and a hospital visit to put stitches in and take stitches out. This facility didn't call my mother until a week after the incident. Those staff were not punished. They were sent home on paid leave for a week. I had to face those 2 women again. The only thing the facility did was tell Mrs. Daffney to stay away from me. However, I still had to see her. I stopped eating for 6 months. I went from a size 20 to a size 6. They called my mom to come get me because my mom never came to see me for those 6 months, only family sessions by phone, and phone calls to her at night. She didn't even recognize me when she came. She looked me right in the face and asked the staff where I was. I said, "Hello, mom. I am right here. She then said, " What the hell did you do to my daughter. They did nothing differently than she did. I had to go to many different places before someone caught on. Youth villages in Arlington, TN, seen right through my mom and her abuse and what do you know because they seen the situation for what it was all of a sudden my mom was the victim and my step dad was the victim of the system she placed me in. This facility youth villages gave me hope. They genuinely cared for me, and what do you know. I succeeded. I wouldn't recommend Millcreek if it was a shelter for dogs. I am now 36, and I remember how badly this place treated me. They never reported to dhs what I told them was happening to me at home. Instead, they wanted to blame me for my outburst after nobody would listen, diagnose me with anger issues, place me on medication strong enough to put a horse down. Did I mention my sister was placed in dhs custody during my time at Millcreek. Dhs never came to speak to me about what was happening with me, or maybe they didnt know due to millcreeks lack to report child abuse allegations.However, I was left there in the same situation to be released and harmed somemore. Thanks Millcreek! . The system is a joke. Youth villages saved my life. Millcreek is an awful place for kids. Not to mention, there is sexual activity that can happen at any time. I saw the laundry room used by 2 individuals who weren't being supervised male and females who would use that room for sexual activities. I seen them go in there clearly because the female day room was by the laundry room. I saw them go in, shut the door, come out disheveled. Nobody even knew it. However, if you said something to staff, you could and would be harmed before a staff would intervene. The boys and girls are in the same house or cottage. They have one side of the house. The girls have the other. You still see each other. Eat with each other. Male and female time-out room are separated, but girls could be placed in the boys time out room if the girls time out was already occupied.
