Methodist Family Health is a management corporation formed in 2003 to oversee an Integrated Delivery Network of non-profit operting entities: Methodist Children's Home (est. 1899), Methodist Behavioral Hospital (est. 2001), and the Arkansas Center for Addictions Research, Education and Services (Arkansas C.A.R.E.S., est. 1991).These entities offer levels of psychiatric care ranging from the most restrictive service level (Acute Psychiatric Hospital Care) to the least restrictive service level (outpatient counseling); while simultaneously providing all intermediate residential levels of care. Youth receive all educational requirements while in residential placement at Methodist Family Health. Treatment for mothers with addiction disorders, and for their children is offered through Arkansas CARES, the company's its first preventative program. Through the continuum of services provided, Methodist Family Health brings great value to the youth and families in its care, by allowing them to be cared for in the least restrictive setting appropriate, with continuity of care provided through consistent use of a model of care. This allows youth and families to transition between varying service level intensities while still maintaining a consistent program format.
