10th District Substance Abuse Program - New Beginnings CASA

Community-Centered Mission

Rooted in values of efficiency, integrity, and respect, New Beginnings CASA provides substance use treatment designed to strengthen both individuals and the communities they belong to. As part of a ten-county network in southeast Arkansas, the program serves adults seeking meaningful recovery through connection, accountability, and consistent support. Its non-profit model keeps the focus on accessibility and long-term health rather than profit-driven care.

Structured, Step-Based Care

Treatment follows a progressive model that blends residential and outpatient options. Clients begin with orientation and collaborative treatment planning before advancing through phases that include group education, individual counseling, and aftercare preparation. Outpatient programming builds on this structure through specialized groups, Early Recovery Skills, Relapse Prevention, Family Education, and Social Support, each designed to strengthen skills, awareness, and relationships essential to maintaining sobriety.

Evidence-Based Treatment and Medications

The program combines established therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, trauma-related counseling, and 12-step facilitation. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) include buprenorphine (with or without naloxone) and naltrexone, supporting clients managing opioid and alcohol use disorders. Comprehensive health screenings and education, covering topics like hepatitis, HIV, and tobacco cessation, are also provided to promote whole-person wellness.

Supportive Environment and Real-Life Recovery Tools

The facility offers a modest, structured residential setting with shared dorm-style rooms, counselor offices, group spaces, and gender-specific lounges. Clients have access to an exercise and game room, outdoor walking path, picnic courtyard, and playground area that encourage light physical activity and social connection. Beyond therapy, practical supports such as transportation, vocational training, and housing assistance help clients rebuild stability, employment, and purpose as they transition back into daily life.
