Peace of mind. Tranquility. Your whole being. It doesn't have to be a dream. Psychiatric care in the form of emotional, physical and spiritual support can help make stormy waters calm again.
Behavioral health care involves an array of assessment and treatment services to help individuals cope with the stresses of everyday life. While all of us encounter some level of emotional strain every day, adults with more complex difficulties need, and deserve, specialized help. For these, Central Arkansas Hospital's experienced behavioral health professionals are on hand to offer that help.
The Right Behavioral Health Program
Central Arkansas Psychiatry Services and six rural Central Care Clinics provide outpatient behavioral health care, while Clearview is an inpatient facility at Central Arkansas Hospital. At each level of care, our behavioral health professionals work as a team, designing individualized treatment plans to help reduce stress, conflicts or other problems which can interrupt a normal life. By working with a patient, as well as family members or caregivers, our teams can assess precisely the type of care that is required. Our psychiatrists will also determine if medication may work for, or against, a patient's needs.
The Right Behavioral Health Environment
We believe in caring for the whole person to help a patient get well. That's why we offer outpatient supportive care in warm, comfortable settings. Our geriatric psychiatric facility (Clearview) provides a complete therapeutic environment for those requiring more intensive inpatient services. Designed with cathedral ceilings and skylights, Clearview has a brightness and openness throughout.
