A major service found within HRA is the

The extensive campus includes a mental health clinic, a 20-bed medical detox unit, a 44-bed residential treatment facility, a 14-bed group home, 99 housing units, and the Kay Goss Women's Unit which consists of 14 apartments for women and their children. Stabilization (detoxification), evaluation (residential care), and rehabilitation (transitional living), provided at the Wilbur D. Mills Center offers individuals a comprehensive treatment plan for successful recovery.
Employment Services
We also are able to assist individuals with various disabilities who are seeking employment assistance through the Arkansas Rehabilitation Services.
For over 20 years, we have worked with individuals with various disabilities as they prepare to enter the workforce. More recently, we have found tremendous success in assisting those with Substance Use Disorder in finding employment while also on the road of recovery.
The process typically begins with a referral from the Arkansas Rehabilitation Services. You have a choice in your provider, and an increasing number of Arkansans living in our service area have looked to us to support them in not only their search, but in maintaining meaningful employment. A member of our team welcomes the opportunity to work with you as you navigate what is the best situation for you that will lead to a job and career that meets your needs.
Currently, we are able to work with individuals residing in the Benton, Cleburne, Craighead, Faulkner, Independence, Izard, Washington, and White counties through our locations in Batesville, Bentonville, and Searcy.
