Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in North Little Rock, AR
North Little Rock sits across the Arkansas River from the capital, and for a century it was a railroad town in its own right rather than a suburb.
The Argenta district by the river holds the old business center, and Camp Robinson north of the city has been an Arkansas National Guard installation since 1917.
The city and Little Rock share one river, one metro and one treatment market, though they remain separate municipalities with separate identities.
Pulaski County has recorded a decline in overdose deaths, from 138 in the twelve months to December 2021 to 92 in the twelve months to December 2025 on provisional CDC counts, a fall of 33 percent.
Even after that fall, Pulaski records more overdose deaths than the next five Arkansas counties combined.
Around thirty-one facilities sit within twelve miles of North Little Rock, sixteen of which indicate residential care and nineteen dual diagnosis work.
Two indicate detox, and the thirty-mile ring adds none, which means this metro of 750,000 people has two places to manage withdrawal.
Camp Robinson and the veteran population around it give this side of the river a particular character.
Which Level of Care Do You Need
The figures below use a twelve-mile catchment with wider numbers where they change the picture, covering Downtown Sherwood AR, Little Rock and Maumelle.
Medically Supervised Detox
Withdrawal handled under clinical supervision is what detox means in practice, typically three to seven days for alcohol and five to ten for opioids, and it opens the sequence where dependence is physical. Around two facilities within twelve miles of North Little Rock indicate detox provision, and widening to thirty miles adds none. Two options serving the whole central Arkansas metro is the single tightest constraint in the state, so waiting times are the first question rather than the last.
Inpatient Residential Treatment
Living at the program is what residential means, usually for thirty to ninety days, inside a structure that carries the whole week. Around sixteen facilities within twelve miles of North Little Rock indicate residential provision, rising to about twenty-three within thirty. That is among the widest residential choice in Arkansas, and comparing three or four programs is realistic rather than aspirational.
Outpatient, IOP and PHP Treatment
Arkansas providers use the American Society of Addiction Medicine continuum, which gives you a defined tier to hold a program to rather than a description it has chosen for itself. Around twenty-one providers within twelve miles offer outpatient services, five indicate intensive outpatient, four partial hospitalization and ten medication-assisted treatment. Every level of the continuum exists in numbers here, which is true of nowhere else in Arkansas except across the river.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
Co-occurring conditions are common enough that treating only the addiction tends to fail, which is what dual diagnosis care exists to avoid. Around nineteen providers within twelve miles of North Little Rock indicate this work, rising to about forty-two within thirty. The Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System operates a major campus here, and for veterans that is frequently the faster route into an integrated assessment.
Arkansas runs a managed care model found nowhere else. People with complex behavioral health needs are enrolled in a PASSE, a Provider-led Arkansas Shared Savings Entity, which coordinates physical health, behavioral health and home and community-based services together. Four operate: Arkansas Total Care, CareSource, Empower Healthcare Solutions and Summit Community Care. If addiction sits alongside a serious mental health condition, ask whether a PASSE assessment applies, because it changes who coordinates the care and what is covered.
Sober Living Homes and Transitional Living
Sober living homes are shared, substance-free houses people move into after a program finishes, and this directory covers treatment rather than housing. The Arkansas Recovery Housing Association holds the state register on behalf of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Since certification is optional, ask a residence directly whether it holds it and who inspects it. North Little Rock rents sit below the Little Rock average, which makes recovery housing more achievable on this side of the river.
Addiction Treatment Cost and Insurance Coverage in North Little Rock, AR
The central Arkansas metro carries the widest price range in the state, and North Little Rock sits at the lower end of it for housing and living costs.
How Much Does Addiction Rehab Cost?
Residential treatment in North Little Rock costs roughly $5,900 to $24,000 a month and is well supplied. Intensive outpatient runs $2,600 to $9,000 a month, partial hospitalization $6,900 to $13,500 a month and standard outpatient $1,250 to $5,000 a month. Medical detox, where it is needed first, runs $1,400 to $4,900 a week from one of only two providers in the metro.
Because detox is the bottleneck rather than the beds, secure that place first and let a licensed provider arrange what follows, rather than choosing a residential program and then discovering the wait for withdrawal management.
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Medical detox (7–14 days) | $1,400 – $4,900 per week | $200 – $700 |
| Residential inpatient | $5,900 – $24,000 | $195 – $800 |
| PHP | $6,900 – $13,500 | $230 – $450 |
| IOP | $2,600 – $9,000 | $85 – $300 |
| Outpatient | $1,250 – $5,000 | $40 – $165 |
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Residential inpatient | $17,000 – $50,000+ | $565 – $1,660 |
| PHP | $14,000 – $32,000 | $465 – $1,065 |
| IOP | $9,500 – $24,000 | $315 – $800 |
| Outpatient | $5,000 – $15,500 | $165 – $515 |
Does Insurance Cover Rehab?
Yes. Addiction treatment sits among the essential health benefits most plans are required to include. What a plan actually pays varies with the employer, the network and the level of care, so two people with the same insurer can face very different bills. Employer plans, Medicare, TRICARE and ARHOME are all common here given Camp Robinson and the veteran population.
Being insured settles less than people expect. Prior authorization applies to detox and residential admission, and the network question decides the cost. The Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System provides addiction treatment at little or no cost to eligible veterans, and VA Community Care can authorize a civilian program where the VA cannot provide it in time or within reach.
Arkansas expanded Medicaid through ARHOME, which is unusual in how it works: rather than issuing a Medicaid card, it buys private Blue Cross Blue Shield or Ambetter cover on the state exchange for most enrollees. You are covered by Medicaid, but the card in your wallet says something else, so tell a program you are on ARHOME rather than simply saying you have Blue Cross.
A change worth acting on now. ARHOME, the Medicaid expansion program covering around 210,000 Arkansans, introduced a work and community engagement requirement. A soft launch began on 1 July 2026 and full enforcement starts on 1 January 2027, when non-exempt adults aged 19 to 64 must complete 80 hours a month of work, study or volunteering to keep coverage. Exemptions include being medically frail, having a serious medical condition, caring for a dependent, homelessness and recent incarceration. Anyone in treatment for an addiction may well qualify, but the exemption has to be claimed rather than assumed. When Arkansas last tried this in 2018, more than 18,000 people lost coverage, and research afterwards found the overwhelming majority were eligible and had simply not reported.
