Millcreek Behavioral Health – Psychiatric Residential Treatment Program

Company Description

Millcreek Behavioral Health in Fordyce, Arkansas, operates a psychiatric residential treatment center for children and teens ages 6–17. Set on a quiet campus about 70 miles south of Little Rock, the program separates residents by age and gender and offers individualized treatment plans based on a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. A multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, pediatricians, speech therapists, nurses and educational specialists uses cognitive‑behavioral therapies and trauma‑informed approaches to stabilize mood, build coping skills and improve family relationships. Weekly individual therapy, three group sessions per week and twice‑monthly family therapy keep youth and their caregivers actively engaged in the healing process.

Education is a key component of Millcreek’s program. Residents attend a fully accredited on‑site school Monday through Friday with small classes, special education services and vocational training. Recreation and expressive therapies – including art, gym, gardening and animal‑assisted activities – help children and teens practice social skills and regulate emotions. Case management services coordinate care and plan for reintegration into home and community. In addition to residential services, Millcreek provides group home and developmental disabilities programs, ensuring continuity of care across levels of need.

Millcreek Behavioral Health is located at 1828 Industrial Drive in Fordyce. The facility is licensed and accredited by state and national bodies, including The Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Families from across Arkansas and beyond choose Millcreek for its commitment to excellence in education and treatment, its family‑centered philosophy and its safe, structured environment where young people can heal, learn and gain the skills needed to thrive.
