Inpatient Behavioral Health Treatment Program for Children in Fayetteville, AR

At Vantage Point, we provide acute and sub-acute programming and individualized therapeutic services for youths ages 5-11. We offer both a six-month intensive program within our residential services, and a 10-day program for children participating in acute crisis stabilization.

Each program is designed to provide comprehensive treatment to patients who have been unable to successfully manage psychiatric and/or behavioral symptoms in outpatient settings.

What Disorders Do We Treat?

Vantage Point’s program is equipped to provide support for a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

  • Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Stress-related disorders
  • Mood disorders like depression, anxiety, etc.
  • Psychotic disorders

All treatment plans at Vantage Point are shaped by the patient’s and family’s individual needs. However, some of the common symptoms we address include: parent-child relationship issues, suicidal ideation, aggression, and self-harming behaviors.

Our Treatment Modalities

Vantage Point’s staff of licensed therapists provides a variety of therapeutic interventions, including:

  • Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Play therapy
  • Individual therapy
  • Family therapy
  • Group therapy

Group therapy offers youth a chance to build healthy social relationships in a safe, structured setting. Here, patients give and receive peer support, practice new coping skills, and learn about topics related to managing their symptoms and behaviors.

Group themes may include psychiatric processing, medication education, recreational therapy, and community. Vantage Point therapists will always tailor the group to the needs of participants, and will cover topics such as social-skills building, anger and aggression, depression and anxiety, self-harming behaviors, and discharge planning.

In addition to our therapeutic supports, our medical staff of physicians, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and registered nurses provides medication management services and medical care for all patients. Patients can expect to meet with their attending psychiatrist weekly, with additional meetings as needed.

I had a great experience at this facility. I have been to one other facility in the past and I can really tell the difference. The process starts with a FREE assessment and it was done relatively quickly. The staff were empathetic and seemed to really care about helping me. Once I got on the unit I met with other staff who were equally helpful. I got to meet with my doctor and therapist while here and my stay was actually pretty comfortable. I was especially pleased with the beginning stages as I was desperate for help and I got it quickly. The hospital is open 24/7 and an assessment can be done without an appointment.
