Capstone Treatment Center is a top-rated treatment center and behavioral care program in the beautiful Ozark foothills of Arkansas. Capstone helps families and young adults ages 14-26 struggling with addiction and destructive behaviors. Their expertise focuses on multiple addictions and co-occurring disorders such as ADHD/ADD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, self harm, pornography, trauma, loneliness, attachment issues, and family conflict. Capstone is a faith-based treatment center and says that “Capstone is truly a Christian treatment center, but one that has a level of professional excellence and expertise that is second to none. Every aspect of Capstone reflects Jesus Christ, but He is never forced on anyone. It is not a church camp, but instead it’s a place where kids are loved, believed in, worked with and fought for.”
The 90-day residential program is divided into four phases, each of which includes non-
medical detox, daily
group therapy, cognitive behavior therapy (
CBT), 12-Step facilitation, canine therapy, and 3 one-on-one sessions per week. When arriving at Capstone, a puppy is waiting for each client. During the middle of the day, before or after lunch, clients have “Puppy Time,” which is canine therapy time aimed at one-on-one bonding with their pups to aid in recovery. Canine therapy assists those who are struggling with depression or have been subjected to physical or sexual abuse in learning to trust and feel safe. Clients attach and grow with their puppies, and they are allowed to take them home because they have soon become a family member.
Capstone Treatment Center has 4,000 square feet of cabin-like lodging. Clients can enjoy a state-of-the-art exercise facility, a ropes course, and an on-site disc golf course. Capstone Treatment Center provides a caring staff complete with unique therapies. Capstone is accredited by CARF and is private pay only.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Capstone Treatment Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
