Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Little Rock.

Being sent rather than choosing to go changes the paperwork more than it changes the treatment. What gets reported is normally attendance rather than anything said in a session. Confirm the program is approved before the first session rather than after it.

Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Ask for an assessment rather than a recommendation, then ask what the assessment found.

A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
