Western Arkansas Counseling and - Guidance Center Inc

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Mena is set up for.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Mena offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Mena it may be mixed.

Mena has 8 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adolescents, adult men, adult women, court referrals, pain management, past domestic violence, past sexual abuse, past trauma and veterans.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Mena.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask which level of care the plan has already approved, and for how many days.
