About this Facility

Pioneer Group is a substance abuse support group program in Fort Smith, Arkansas, just east of the Arkansas River. Pioneer Group follows the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) peer-led group model. They serve adult clients.

In AA groups like Pioneer Group, clients participate in regular meetings where they share their experiences and provide support for one another. It’s important to note that this isn’t a medical program, and meetings are not overseen by medical professionals.

The 12-Step model is a structured system for peer-led support group meetings. These meetings give clients a chance to share their stories and their struggles and to support one another in a private, welcoming atmosphere. Such groups usually don’t have membership dues but may collect money if they need to pay for the meeting space.

The 12 Steps are a structured guideline designed to take clients through specific phases of recovery. This starts with admitting that they are an addict and that they need help from a self designated higher power, which can be the group itself. Over the course of the remaining steps, clients learn to accept responsibility for their past actions, make amends with those most hurt by their addiction, and become mentors to others seeking help from the group.

Pioneer Group doesn’t require insurance, but clients considering other rehabilitation programs should confirm coverage with their insurance provider first, 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.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

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.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs ensure that clients continue to receive robust and consistent therapeutic care without requiring them to reside at the treatment center. The frequency and intensity of treatment depend on clients’ evolving needs, ranging from daily to weekly addiction counseling and recovery education. Outpatient programs often include peer coaching, life skills training, and individual, group, and family counseling. Outpatient levels of care include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living/halfway housing, and standard outpatient care.

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.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
