Ozark Guidance Expands Operations

Expansion includes Four New Counties

SPRINGDALE, Ark. (August 6, 2018) – Ozark Guidance Center is expanding its operations to meet the mental health needs of more Arkansans. This expansion means Ozark Guidance will begin serving Baxter, Boone, Marion, and Newton Counties to provide counseling and medication services for individuals with mental health issues, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions.  Services will be provided to individuals of all ages in local facilities, schools, and the local communities.

Ozark Guidance will also be expanding substance use disorder services in Benton, Carroll, Madison, and Washington Counties. This is due, in part, to the fact that Ozark Guidance will be taking on the contract previously held by Decision Point. Both expansions are consistent with the mission and supported by the Ozark Guidance Board of Directors.

Ozark Guidance is the oldest, nonprofit behavioral health care center serving northwest Arkansas. Nearly 500 employees currently provide services throughout Washington, Benton, Carroll, and Madison Counties. This includes providing services at 150 schools in 16 school districts.

“We want to provide a continuum of care for clients,” said Laura H. Tyler, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Ozark Guidance Center. “We are committed to meeting the needs of individuals and families for better behavioral health and we look forward to serving additional people in a larger geographic area.” 

Ozark Guidance was recently reaccredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for another three years. The organization specializes in therapeutic day treatment, school-based, and outpatient services for children and adults.
