Serving six counties in central Arkansas, CAI provides a full continuum of innovative, community-based, behavioral health care services that enhance the quality of life for those who experience a mental health and/or substance use disorder. When 1 in every 5 people will experience a diagnosable behavioral health condition in a given year, it is critical that we all have someone to turn to for help when needed. Mental illness continues to rank second (behind only cardiovascular conditions) in burden of disease rankings and, combined with substance use disorders, is the leading cause of worker disability in the United States. In spite of research demonstrating that the right treatment is effective in alleviating the symptoms associated with these disorders, nearly two-thirds of all people with diagnosable mental health conditions do not get treatment. The cost of care, the fragmentation of the service delivery system, and stigma are significant barriers that cause many people to hide their symptoms and avoid treatment. SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES - The latest and most successful recovery-based techniques are used in a warm and caring environment in the treatment of substance abuse. Assistance is provided to help individuals and families work out effective, lasting ways of dealing with alcohol and other drug problems. Services can be scheduled during the day or after normal working hours to minimize conflicts with family and work commitments. Substance abuse services include: Services for persons with Co-occuring Disorders, Outpatient, DUI/DWI Classes, Group Therapy, Assessment and Referral, ASI/SASSI Assessment, Adult Drug Court Treatment, Smoking Cessation, Recovery-Based Services.
