Riverview Behavioral Health helps individuals with mental health and substance use challenges resolve crises and achieve personal empowerment through compassionate intensive inpatient care, medically supervised
detox, day treatment (PHP), and intensive
outpatient programs (
IOP). With specialized services for children and adolescents, Riverview ensures developmentally appropriate care for clients across the life-span. Located in Texarkana, the facility serves communities in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
Thorough assessments guide each client's care at Riverview.
Group therapy helps individuals manage anger, strengthen relationships, and prevent relapse, while weekly
family therapy fosters deeper connection and support. Clients set personal goals and receive individualized feedback in one-on-one sessions. Experiential therapies—like art, music, and recreation—promote healing of mind, body, and spirit. Medication management by psychiatric providers includes daily check-ins to ensure stability and support.
Patient rooms at Riverview are organized by age group to ensure safety and appropriate care, with 24/7 supervision in a secure, supportive environment. Clients engage in therapy sessions in designated group rooms, connect in recreation areas, while youth participate in daily education services. Courtyards offer outdoor space for games and reflection, while therapeutic activities and calming spaces support emotional healing, resilience, and personal growth.
Riverview understands that both their inpatient care and day programs are only one step on someone’s healing journey, providing each client with a comprehensive aftercare plan before they leave. Discharge planning begins on the day of admission and may include referrals for outpatient services, support groups, and other community resources to help clients build on the progress they made during their time at Riverview.
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 Riverview Behavioral Health provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
