Continuum of Care

Care Beyond Our Doors

At Rivendell of Arkansas, we seek to offer hope, change lives, and preserve families. That requires us to make sure our patients and their families are getting the care, service, and education they need to heal while staying in our facility, and the tools to continue their growth and recovery once the patient is back in the community.

Individualized Therapy Modalities

Each patient at Rivendell receives a personalized treatment plan to help get to the root causes of their emotional and mental distress. Throughout their care, our staff utilizes various treatment modalities to help patients begin the healing process, including:

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), designed to help patients address and cope with immediate life stressors in the moment
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps to change unhelpful cognitive distortions (e.g., thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) to improve emotional regulation and develop coping strategies
• Substance Abuse Groups, like Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous (AA / NA) to educate patients on abuse cycles, how to break those cycles, and create communities to build support
• Other specialized groups, which focus on mindfulness, relaxation, guided meditation, crisis management, pain management, and distress tolerance.

Trauma-Informed Approach

Our caregivers are trained to take a trauma-informed approach to care. This is a framework for providing quality, clinical care to survivors of various forms of trauma that involves understanding, recognizing and responding to the various effects that trauma can have on us as individuals and as a society.​ It emphasizes safety and operates on the notion that healing happens through safe and collaborative relationships.
