About United Family Services

United Family Services provides community based programs that keep families intact, foster cohesion and promote positive dynamics within families. They offer substance use treatment, education and prevention for youth and adults. This includes specialized programs for juveniles and adults who are involved in the criminal justice system.

They champion alternative services to juveniles and their families to prevent out-of-home placement. They have centers across several counties including this Pine Bluff location in Jefferson County.

This location is central within Pine Bluff near the downtown area and close to Jefferson County Library. Jefferson County Transportation offers services within the area. However, public transport isn’t extensive and may be unreliable. It might be easier and faster to drive here via US-65 or I-530. These highways provide pretty good access.

Nature can offer great therapeutic and recreational benefits. If you feel like just unwinding, you can take a walk to the Arkansas Rivers. It’ll take you about 15 minutes to get there from the facility. Lake Saracen Park is located along this river. This is a popular spot where locals enjoy outdoor activities.

I think the best thing about United Family Services is that their services are free. They’ve both gender specific and gender neutral group programs that serve adolescents, young adults and adults. Most of these programs encourage self esteem development, smart decision making and life skills building. They offer anger management classes, life skill education and drug education/prevention groups.

Life skill education teaches budgeting, goal planning and HIV/AIDS education. You’ll also learn teen pregnancy prevention, substance abuse usage and family planning. These are essential skills that help you build a healthier and more stable lifestyle.

Their drug education group focuses on the overall impact of substance misuse and the criminal justice consequences. This information can help you make better decisions regarding substance use. They also offer parenting education and programs to increase family resilience via effective communication.

Their adolescent substance use counseling identifies and provides targeted intervention for juveniles involved in or connected to drug-related offenses. Counseling may be delivered in an individual or group setting. This program also includes drug and alcohol testing. They also offer outpatient mental health therapy, casework and reentry services. The latter involves evaluation with tailored recommendations for release plans, supervision, youth advocacy and transportation.

They even offer cognitive behavioral therapy groups where you can learn to resolve the mental blocks, behaviors and emotions that hold you back. All these programs are strictly based on court referrals. They’re all about providing the right support to help youth get back on track and meet legal requirements.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

The goal of drug rehab in Arkansas is to help individuals stop using addictive substances and learn healthy ways to remain clean long-term. Participants learn vital skills to cope with cravings and manage stress, to prevent relapse.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

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.

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.
