About John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans’ Hospital
Also known as the John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans’ Hospital, the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System Little Rock lies in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. Their facilities are connected to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences campus, and they boast seven stories of quality healthcare services. As part of their addiction care, they offer medically supervised detox services and medication assisted treatment (MAT) on top of counseling and group therapy. Referrals aren’t required to enroll.
Their detox program lasts between five and seven days, and is supervised by qualified and empathetic staff within the emergency department. Detox services are mostly available to veterans and their families who are at risk for severe withdrawal symptoms like seizures or delirium tremens (DTs) – a dangerous type of alcohol withdrawal.
The hospital also has its own pharmacy. This makes it convenient for clients to pick up prescriptions before or after counseling sessions. Their medication management services help you stay on top of multiple prescriptions and ensure you take the right dosage. it helps prevent addiction and relapse.
Something I liked about the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System is that they have recreational therapies they can match to your needs. These activities are designed to supplement primary treatment and give you a fulfilling recovery experience, like the MOVE! Program for weight management. The idea behind recreation therapy is to boost your independence and well-being. They can include physical activities like animal interaction, sport and exercise, or creative endeavors like music, gardening, arts and crafts.
They also host frequent community outings, giving you a chance to explore the city. During these excursions, you might visit the Little Rock Zoo, Knoop Park, or Boyle Park. These beautiful locations let you connect with nature while building friendships with others in recovery.
