How Do We Start?
- P.E.A.K. is located at our Hot Springs clinic only.
- Our walk in process makes your first visit to our clinic easy.
- You can even fill out the paperwork online prior to coming in.
- Once you meet with a therapist for the intake, you will be paired with a P.E.A.K. therapist for ongoing appointments.
Medication Management
We offer medication management services alongside P.E.A.K. Clients and their families are included in treatment planning from the start. A person-centered approach is used in this process to ensure that the client’s voice is heard, and their unique needs are addressed. If medication management is indicated as a need, the client is referred to medication management services. Whether those services are through your primary care physician or our trained Ouachita Behavioral Health and Wellness medical staff, we use a team-based approach to continue to coordinate services, ensuring that we work together to find the right balance of therapy and medication.
