“If you or someone you love is in potential danger of an opioid overdose, learning to administer naloxone is essential.”
Back in 2018, a 16-year-old student at Little Rock Central High School overdosed on heroin. But thanks to a fellow student who was carrying naloxone nasal spray, the 16-year-old survived.
Naloxone is known as an anti-overdose medication - and for good reason. With the opioid epidemic currently at its highest peak in Arkansas, it's important to know that organizations are stepping up to train Little Rock residents on recognizing the signs of opioid overdose and what to do if you encounter someone you suspect has overdosed.
The Wolfe Street Foundation, a local addiction recovery resource, received a $14,000 grant from the Arkansas Opioid Recovery Partnership to cover the cost of training all residents to use naloxone nasal spray.
This is often one of the only ways to save the lives of loved ones experiencing an opioid overdose, particularly if they’ve overdosed on the deadly opioid known as fentanyl.
Frequently asked questions
What to know about rehab in Little Rock
Our directory rankings reflect a combination of verified accreditation, breadth of services, payment accessibility, and whether a facility's operational information is current. We give priority to programs that hold independent accreditation from the Joint Commission or CARF International, because those credentials signal that a program has met reviewed standards for care quality and safety.
We also weigh the range of levels of care offered, which payment types are accepted (including Medicaid and Medicare), and whether staff credentials and licensing remain active. User reviews from verified visitors inform rankings but do not override clinical or accreditation criteria. The goal is to surface options that match a wide range of treatment needs and budgets.
Rehab in Little Rock: What to Know
Little Rock is Arkansas's state capital and the hub of the Little Rock–North Little Rock–Conway metro area, all located in Pulaski County. With 38 addiction treatment facilities in our directory, it is the most treatment-rich city in the state and the clearest entry point for people across central Arkansas seeking structured help for substance use.
For a broader look at what is available statewide, the directory of drug and alcohol rehabs in Arkansas lists programs organized by county and city.
Pulaski County is one of only four counties in Arkansas with operational opioid treatment programs, according to a 2025 report from the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement. The county's treatment infrastructure includes major health systems such as UAMS Health, Baptist Health Medical Center, and CHI St. Vincent, each of which operates or partners with behavioral health programs.
For people considering the full range of addiction treatment options before selecting a program, understanding what each level of care offers can help narrow the choice.
In March 2024, UAMS opened the Six Bridges Clinic at the Psychiatric Research Institute, the first dedicated outpatient substance use treatment program at UAMS for young people ages 12 to 21. Developed alongside Arkansas Children's Hospital and funded by a grant from the Blue and You Foundation, the clinic addresses a documented gap: Arkansas previously had only a handful of providers treating substance use disorders in adolescents.
Substance use patterns in Pulaski County follow broader statewide trends, with fentanyl and synthetic opioids driving the largest share of fatal overdoses. In 2023, fentanyl and other synthetic opioids were involved in 52% of all drug overdose deaths in Arkansas, according to CDC data. The Pulaski County Coroner has issued public warnings about emerging synthetic opioids appearing in counterfeit pills, underscoring the need for medically supervised care from first contact onward.
Cost of Rehab in Little Rock
Arkansas consistently ranks among the most affordable states for addiction treatment in the country. Residential inpatient programs average $46,801 per episode statewide, and standard outpatient care runs approximately $7,777 for a typical course of treatment. Medical detox, which often precedes longer-term residential care, averages $130,753 for a full medically managed episode in Arkansas.
For those using methadone maintenance, costs average $6,909 per year. Cost varies based on program length, level of clinical support, and facility type. Verifying your insurance benefits before admission is one of the most effective ways to reduce out-of-pocket exposure.

Medicare
Eleven facilities in Little Rock accept Medicare, which covers a range of substance use treatment services, including inpatient detox, residential treatment, and outpatient counseling for eligible adults 65 and older and those with qualifying disabilities. Coverage specifics depend on your Medicare plan type and the facility's Medicare certification status. Reviewing what your plan covers before choosing a program can help avoid unexpected costs.
Medicaid (ARHOME)
Arkansas's Medicaid expansion program is called ARHOME (Arkansas Health and Opportunities for Me). It covers a broad range of substance use treatment services, including outpatient counseling and, through the state's PASSE managed care model, integrated care for individuals with both serious mental illness and a substance use disorder.
Sixteen facilities in Little Rock accept ARHOME, making it a meaningful access point for low-income residents. ARHOME coverage often extends to medication-assisted treatment with medications such as buprenorphine or naltrexone, which can be critical for people managing opioid or alcohol use disorder.
Military Benefits (TRICARE)
Ten facilities in Little Rock accept TRICARE, the federal health insurance program for active-duty service members, veterans with qualifying service, and their dependents. TRICARE typically covers inpatient, outpatient, and intensive outpatient substance use treatment when provided at an authorized facility.
The Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System in North Little Rock also provides SUD treatment directly through VA benefits. For a full overview of coverage pathways and eligibility, see our guide to veterans' addiction treatment resources.
Insurance and Private Pay
Twenty-five facilities in Little Rock accept private health insurance. The Affordable Care Act requires most private plans to cover substance use disorder treatment at parity with medical and surgical benefits, which means your insurer generally cannot impose stricter limits on addiction care than on other medical conditions.
Major insurers active in Arkansas include Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Arkansas, Ambetter Health, QualChoice Health Insurance, Cigna, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage for specific treatment levels varies by plan, so confirming benefits before admission is strongly recommended.

Sliding Scale and Financial Assistance
Eight facilities offer sliding-scale fees that adjust treatment costs based on income and household size. Fifteen offer some form of financial assistance, which may include reduced rates, deferred payment, or access to grant-funded spots. If cost is a barrier, asking about these options directly during the intake inquiry is often the fastest way to find out what is available at a specific facility.
Free Treatment Programs
Two facilities in Little Rock offer free treatment to all clients, regardless of insurance status or income. State and federal grant funding typically supports these programs. Availability is often limited, and waitlists apply, so contacting programs as early as possible is practical. Rehab scholarships offered through nonprofits and foundations are another avenue worth exploring alongside state-funded programs.
Levels of Care Available in Little Rock
Little Rock's 38 facilities collectively cover the full treatment continuum, with 16 medical detox programs, 28 inpatient or residential programs, and 31 outpatient clinics. Two programs offer partial hospitalization, 20 treat co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use, and 7 sober living homes provide housing for people in the step-down phase of recovery.
16 medical detox facilities
28 inpatient rehab programs
2 partial hospitalization programs
31 standard outpatient clinics
20 dual diagnosis programs
7 sober living homes
Medical detox is typically the first step for people with physical dependence on alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines. Under round-the-clock medical supervision, clinicians manage withdrawal symptoms with medications that reduce discomfort and prevent serious complications. Medical detox does not constitute full treatment on its own but creates the stable foundation needed to begin therapy.
Inpatient and residential programs provide structured, live-in treatment, typically lasting 28 to 90 days. Clients receive daily therapy, skill-building groups, and medical oversight while removed from the environments that may have reinforced use. Inpatient rehab tends to produce stronger early outcomes for people with severe dependence or a history of multiple relapses.
Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) provide intensive structured programming during daytime hours without an overnight stay, typically running five to six hours per day, five days per week. Two programs in Little Rock offer this level of care. Partial hospitalization is a common step-down from residential care or a step-up from standard outpatient care when additional structure is needed.
Standard outpatient programs allow clients to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while attending scheduled sessions, often three to five days per week. With 31 outpatient clinics in Little Rock, this is the most widely available level of care in the city. Outpatient rehab is well-suited for people with moderate severity, strong social support, and stable housing.
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition simultaneously rather than treating them in sequence. Twenty programs in Little Rock offer this integrated model. Research consistently shows that treating co-occurring depression, anxiety, trauma, or other psychiatric conditions alongside addiction produces better long-term outcomes than addressing either condition alone.
Sober living homes offer peer-supported, substance-free housing for people who have completed or are continuing active treatment but are not yet ready to return to an independent living situation. Seven homes in Little Rock provide this option. Rehab aftercare planning, including sober living, is one of the strongest predictors of sustained recovery.
Specialty Programs in Little Rock
Little Rock's treatment network includes a wide range of specialty programs designed for specific populations. Facilities often tailor clinical approaches, group compositions, and support services to address the particular needs each group brings to treatment.
22 women's programs tailored to the clinical and social needs of women in treatment, including trauma-informed care and support for parenting.
23 men's programs offering gender-specific therapy, peer environments, and support services designed around the patterns common in men seeking treatment.
3 veterans and military programs designed to address trauma, service-related stress, and the substance use patterns common among those who have served.
8 programs for older adults that account for age-related medical complexity, medication interactions, and the social factors common in this population.
29 alcohol rehab programs treating alcohol use disorder across the full spectrum from moderate dependence to severe addiction.
18 opioid rehab programs, many of which incorporate medication-assisted treatment to address opioid use disorder and reduce overdose risk during recovery.
