About Baptist Health-Van Buren
New Vision’s Baptist Health clinic is an addiction treatment center for adults in Fort Smith, Arkansas. They provide inpatient medical stabilization and withdrawal services to help you overcome drug and alcohol addiction. They accept self pay and most private insurance plans, but you’ll need a referral from a physician to qualify.
Most people who enter this program stay for about 72 hours. I like that this program allows you to withdraw in a safe, supervised environment. During your time here, you’ll be cared for around the clock by a multidisciplinary team of doctors and nurses who are experienced in managing withdrawal.
A unique feature of their service is that they’ll involve you in every step of your care. You’ll be an active part of the process and you’ll have the final say over your discharge procedures.
The loved one of a former client says that he received compassionate care through this withdrawal program. They appreciated that he was able to stay at the hospital long enough for his family to arrange a transfer to a long term rehab center.

Levels of Care
Inpatient
Aftercare
Clients in addiction recovery typically require robust, ongoing support, which rehab aftercare programs are designed to provide. These programs are premised on the idea that clients' mental, emotional, physical, social, and financial wellbeing is essential to recovery. Clients collaborate with their case managers and addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services they will need to thrive while in recovery. Clients may receive peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.
Partial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
Medically Assisted Detox
The process of a medically assisted detox is when all addictive substances are removed from your body. Usually performed in an inpatient setting, you are under the 24/7 care of licensed medical medical professionals who keep you safe and comfortable during the detoxification. Medications are often administered to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms.The process can vary in length, but it typically takes 5-7 days.
