About this Facility

AA - Alcoholics Anonymous - Intergroup is a public substance abuse support group in Fort Smith, Arkansas. AA groups are peer-led, nonprofessional support groups that host regular meetings where those in recovery can give and receive support. They serve teen and adult clients.

AA follows the 12-Step model of recovery, which guides individuals through set phases of recovery. It should be noted, however, that this is not a medical program and is not overseen by medical professionals.

The 12 Steps are a common recovery model popularized by AA. In this model, clients are guided through the 12 Steps of recovery to learn more about the nature of their addiction and how to maintain sobriety.

The 12 Steps start with new clients’ admitting that they suffer from addiction and that they need help. Following this, they learn to put their faith in a self-designated higher power (which can be the group itself), learn to take responsibility for their actions, and make amends with those most hurt by their addiction. As clients progress through the 12 Steps, they get to mentor others new to recovery.

AA groups do not require insurance to participate. However, clients considering other recovery programs should first consult with their insurance provider to confirm coverage, as in network and out of network benefits can vary.

Alcoholism

Alcoholism (alcohol use disorder) affects a person mentally, physically, and relationally. A person with alcohol dependence craves alcohol and has an impaired ability to control their alcohol consumption. They experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop alcohol use. Individuals with this condition can achieve recovery through treatment. Alcohol rehab in Arkansas offers inpatient and outpatient options that provide counseling, support groups, and medication to help individuals overcome alcohol addiction and maintain recovery.

Drug Addiction

The goal of drug rehab in Arkansas is to help individuals stop using addictive substances and learn healthy ways to remain clean long-term. Participants learn vital skills to cope with cravings and manage stress, to prevent relapse.

Substance Abuse

In Arkansas, you can find substance abuse treatment programs to help you overcome addiction. These comprehensive programs offer various levels of care, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization. With evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), the programs effectively address substance abuse and any co-occurring disorders. By prioritizing your mental and emotional health, you’ll also gain the confidence and tools to maintain your sobriety.

12-Step

12 step programs are designed to foster participants’ recovery through spiritual development, promoting healing in mind, body, and spirit. Participants engage in 12 step meetings, which are free, anonymous, and accessible daily, including evening, night, and weekend group sessions. Participants also self-select a sponsor to support them throughout their recovery journey. Though rooted in spiritual principles, participants do not have to be religiously-affiliated. Specialized formats, including gender and age-specific ones, are available.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one).
