About Methodist Behavioral Hospital
Methodist Behavioral Hospital in Maumelle provides intensive inpatient care for children and adolescents ages 3 to 17 facing acute and subacute psychiatric, behavioral, and emotional crises. Their distinctive teaching-family model, developed over 40 years, creates a family-like environment with small groups and teaching-parents who provide consistent guidance. This approach is especially effective for at-risk youth, including those in foster care or juvenile justice, and is unique in Arkansas.
The hospital offers compassionate, multidisciplinary care from psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, and behavioral instructors. The acute program focuses on short-term crisis stabilization for youth at immediate risk, providing 24-hour nursing, frequent psychiatric evaluations, and intensive individual, family, and group therapy. Pet and recreational therapies support emotional healing and skill-building. The subacute program provides longer-term, individualized care for children ages 4 to 11 with ongoing psychiatric and behavioral needs.
Residents receive care in a structured inpatient setting with constant supervision and therapeutic support. Aftercare includes counseling, therapeutic day treatment, and school-based services. These programs help children transition smoothly back to their communities while continuing their recovery and growth.
