Ouachita Medical Center's Chemical Dependency Unit serves individuals throughout Arkansas and surrounding regions who are struggling with substance abuse and seeking professional treatment. Located at 638 California Street in Camden, AR, this facility provides comprehensive care designed to address the medical and psychological aspects of addiction. Whether you're taking your first step toward recovery or have struggled to find the right treatment environment, Ouachita Medical Center offers accessible, evidence-based services to support your healing journey.
Ouachita Medical Center offers a full spectrum of substance abuse treatment and detoxification services tailored to meet patients at different stages of recovery. Detoxification services help individuals safely manage withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision, which is a critical first step for many people. The facility provides inpatient or hospitalization care for those requiring intensive, round-the-clock monitoring and support during the early phases of treatment. For individuals who need structured care but greater flexibility, partial hospitalization or day treatment programs allow patients to receive therapy and medical services during scheduled hours while maintaining some independence. Additionally, residential short-term treatment (30 days or less) provides immersive, recovery-focused environments for sustained engagement with treatment. Outpatient services are available for those who have completed higher levels of care or who can manage treatment while living at home and maintaining work or family responsibilities.
Ouachita Medical Center accepts multiple forms of payment to ensure that financial concerns do not prevent access to care. The facility accepts Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), and self-payment options. Under the Mental Health Parity Act, most insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment equally with other medical conditions. If you have insurance coverage, the facility can work with your provider to maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
Taking the first step toward recovery is courageous, and we encourage you to reach out today.
