Living Hope Clinic Services

Living Hope has always been committed to providing behavioral health treatment in a setting which offers the most convenience, flexibility, privacy, and freedom to our clients. For this reason, outpatient clinic services have consistently been an important part of our program. For almost twenty years, Living Hope has provided behavioral health services from clinic locations in Central Arkansas and in Texarkana. Living Hope Southeast continues that tradition by providing an array of clinic-based outpatient behavioral health services from several locations in Central Arkansas. Children, adolescents, and adults have access to therapy, medication management, and psychological testing at clinics in Little Rock, Hot Springs, and Monticello. Office hours are convenient, and our clinicians offer flexible schedules to provide the greatest opportunity to meet the individual needs of our clients.

School-Based Services

Living Hope Southeast offers intensive behavioral health treatment for seriously emotionally disturbed children and adolescents in public school settings across Central Arkansas. Through collaboration and coordination with local school districts, students have access to an array of professional and para-professional services without leaving their school campus. School administrators work with Living Hope Southeast to provide a safe and confidential setting for clients to receive intensive services from our psychiatrists, therapists, and case managers. Through this school partnership, Living Hope Southeast is able to ensure the safety and success of its clients with minimal disruption to their normal educational activities.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

The MAT program at Living Hope Southeast is one of the most effective ways to help our clients achieve long-term success against opioid addiction. The use of medication in the MAT program enables our clients to stop using the substances that they are addicted to without the painful side effects during and after the withdrawal process. We replace the substance with FDA-approved medications that are less harmful to the body and help the client safely detox and effectively navigate early recovery.

Treatments For

• Anxiety Disorders: Effective therapies for anxiety disorders are available, and research is uncovering new treatments that can help most people with anxiety disorders lead productive, fulfilling lives. If you think you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek information and treatment right away.
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): GAD is diagnosed when a person worries excessively about a variety of everyday problems for at least 6 months.  People with GAD can’t seem to get rid of their concerns, even though they usually realize that their anxiety is more intense than the situation warrants. They can’t relax. They startle easily and have difficulty concentrating. Often they have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Physical symptoms that often accompany the anxiety include fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, muscle aches, difficulty swallowing, trembling, twitching, irritability, sweating, nausea, lightheadedness, having to go to the bathroom frequently, feeling out of breath, and hot flashes.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have persistent, upsetting thoughts (obsessions) and use rituals (compulsions) to control the anxiety these thoughts produce. Most of the time, the rituals end up controlling them.
• Panic Disorder: Panic disorder is a real illness that can be successfully treated. It is characterized by sudden attacks of terror, usually accompanied by a pounding heart, sweatiness, weakness, faintness, or dizziness. During these attacks, people with panic disorder may flush or feel chilled; their hands may tingle or feel numb; and they may experience nausea, chest pain, or smothering sensations. Panic attacks usually produce a sense of unreality, a fear of impending doom, or a fear of losing control.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): PTSD develops after a terrifying ordeal that involved physical harm or the threat of physical harm. The person who develops PTSD may have been the one who was harmed, the harm may have happened to a loved one, or the person may have witnessed a harmful event that happened to loved ones or strangers.
• Social Phobia (or Social Anxiety Disorder): Social phobia / social anxiety disorder is diagnosed when people become overwhelmingly anxious and excessively self-conscious in everyday social situations. People with social phobia have an intense, persistent, and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others and of doing things that will embarrass them. They can worry for days or weeks before a dreaded situation. This fear may become so severe that it interferes with work, school, and other ordinary activities and can make it hard to make and keep friends.
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):  ADHD is one of the most common mental disorders that develop in children. Children with ADHD have impaired functioning in multiple settings, including home, school, and relationships with peers. If untreated, the disorder can have long-term adverse effects into adolescence and adulthood.
• Bipolar Disorder: Bipolar Disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a serious medical illness that causes shifts in a person’s mood, energy, and ability to function. Different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through, the symptoms of bipolar disorder are severe.
• Depression: Depression is a serious medical illness; it’s not something that someone has made up in their head. It’s more than just feeling “down in the dumps” or “blue” for a few days. It’s feeling “down” and “low” and “hopeless” for weeks at a time.
