NATURAL STATE RECOVERY CENTERS

Recovery is a long and difficult journey, often riddled with obstacles and setbacks. To meet the increasing demand for addiction treatment in Arkansas, Natural State Recovery Centers was established in 2018 to be the premiere provider of outpatient care for those suffering from substance abuse disorders. In 2021, Natural State expanded to include detox and inpatient treatment options in addition to its individualized treatment programs.

It is an unfortunate fact that the state is disproportionately affected by substance abuse, and the demand for recovery treatment far outweighs the supply. Arkansas leads the nation in the number of people testing positive for meth and is number two in the nation for overprescribing opioid medications. The team at Natural State Recovery Centers is proud to be a part of the solution to these issues, making a real and immediate impact on individuals and their communities.

As a facility accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, Natural State Recovery Centers offers a comprehensive approach to substance abuse treatment which includes medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient care, and sober living.

“We want our clients to feel like they are equipped with the skills and mindset that it takes to have long-term success,” Outreach Coordinator Katie Wilson says. “Clients develop healthy lifestyle habits through a steady curriculum of classes, including yoga and meditation, physical exercise, nutrition, creative arts and more. We also address the underlying causes of substance abuse disorders with the help of licensed mental health care providers who lead group therapy sessions, offer private counseling and provide individualized discharge plans for every client.”

The goal with every person who comes to Natural State is long-term recovery. Many of the staff at Natural State are in recovery themselves, giving them a genuine understanding and respect for what clients are going through. They work to give clients the structured and disciplined environment they need while treating everyone with kindness and dignity.

“You’d be hard-pressed to find a more committed team than ours,” Wilson says. “Natural State Recovery Centers provide 24-hour care, seven days a week, 365 days a year. That doesn’t happen without an amazing team of caregivers working on nights, weekends, and holidays to provide the best recovery care in the state.”

While the staff does an excellent job of managing a carefully planned schedule for clients, they also like to shake things up. From therapy animal visits to wilderness hikes, from holiday celebrations to other special events, the Natural State team strives to bring joy and friendship to clients, reminding them that they are not alone as they walk the path to recovery.

No matter where a person might be in their journey, whether that’s the first step of a medical detox, needing a comfortable and drug-free place to stay or re-entering everyday life with guidance and support, Natural State can accommodate them.
