About Arkansas River Valley Area Council
Lake Point Recovery & Wellness is the substance use treatment program operated by the Arkansas River Valley Area Council (ARVAC), a long-running community action agency, on a campus at 65 Arvac Lane in Russellville, Arkansas. The program serves Pope County and the broader Arkansas River Valley region with a continuum of care designed around one distinctive feature: it makes recovery possible for parents, especially mothers, without forcing them to choose between treatment and their children.
That family-centered model is built on the Pathways 2 Learning Child Development Program, an on-site licensed childcare center for parents in treatment, and on Specialized Women’s Services (SWS) for parenting women. Where many programs are limited to babysitting, Lake Point offers a full childcare program so women can enter residential treatment without separation from their kids. Services extend across the continuum: 24/7 residential treatment with daily structure, a Day Treatment program for those needing high-intensity support without overnight stay, Intensive Outpatient and standard Outpatient programming for step-down care, and short-term Social Detoxification for non-medical withdrawal support. Medication-Assisted Treatment is available to ease cravings and support long-term recovery for opioid and alcohol use disorders.
Clinically, the program treats alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and other opioids, marijuana, and benzodiazepine use, and addresses co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and group and individual counseling form the core of treatment, with spiritual care available as an option: individual Bible study, one-on-one spiritual counseling, and spiritual services for other denominations on request.
Lake Point Recovery & Wellness is dually accredited by CARF and the Joint Commission. The program accepts Medicaid, Arkansas state insurance, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay, making care broadly accessible across central Arkansas. For families across the Arkansas River Valley confronting addiction, ARVAC’s Lake Point program offers a treatment path that does not require giving up parenting to recover.
