About The Guidance Center Fort Smith

In Fort Smith, Arkansas, you’ll find one of The Guidance Center’s six clinics in Western Arkansas. They provide outpatient addiction treatment and mental health services for adults and adolescents ages 13 to 17. They have school based services and DUI classes. No one is turned away due to finances, and they accept insurance and provide financial assistance.

Outpatient Care for Teens and Adults

Services at the Fort Smith clinic include testing and assessments and individual and group counseling for mental health and substance use disorders. They also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder.

They provide case management services and DUI classes. I like that their crisis support team is mobile, meaning they can come to you to help stabilize a situation and provide the help you need without requiring you to go to the clinic.

There’s also an adult day treatment program for those with serious mental illnesses, which may co-occur with substance use. This service helps you address topics like trauma, self esteem and stress management.

Their Guidance Center also provides at-school counseling for youth who are struggling in school due to mental health concerns, family issues, or risky behavior like substance use. I appreciate that these services are provided in the school environment where teens may feel more comfortable and can easily access support.
