Questions people ask about Western Arkansas Counseling and - Guidance Center Inc

Is Western Arkansas Counseling and - Guidance Center Inc residential or day treatment?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Van Buren, 4 offer a bed.

Does Western Arkansas Counseling and - Guidance Center Inc offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Fort Smith, 3.9 miles away.

Does Western Arkansas Counseling and - Guidance Center Inc have beds?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Van Buren.

Is there a program at Western Arkansas Counseling and - Guidance Center Inc for people like me?

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 10 named here.

Is Western Arkansas Counseling and - Guidance Center Inc an option for someone over 65?

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

What is aftercare?

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Book the first appointment after discharge while you are still in the program, not afterward.

What about the medication my doctor prescribed?

They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.

Do I have to tell my employer?

There is usually a way to do this that does not cost you the job, and it is worth asking before assuming. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
