This program offers the benefit of structured care in an alcohol and drug-free environment to those who are unable to function as a result of their substance abuse problem. The length of stay will be determined by how long it takes the client to complete the goals and objectives of their individual treatment plan. Males only, ages 18 years and older.

The program goal is to provide a treatment regimen for those clients whose physical and emotional status allows them to function in their home environment. Treatment plans are individualized with the right reserved to recommend residential treatment if abstinence cannot be maintained on an out-patient basis. Males or Females, ages 17 years and older.

The Matrix Program is a twelve week out-patient treatment program which focuses on Methamphetamine users who have a history of relapse. This program has been developed not only for the individual, but also for the family members. Males or Females, ages 17 and older.

This is a shorter version of our regular Out-Patient Program. Period of time in this program is six weeks. The individual must be willing to attend nine group therapy sessions per week, and a minimum of one hour of individual counseling a month (most receive 30 minutes of individual counseling per week). Males or Females, ages 17 years and older.

Once a client has completed the residential program, he has the opportunity to apply for residency in our Chemical Free Living Center, (CFLC). The main focus of the center is to provide the client with a continued structure while easing the client back into the work force, society, and, if possible, with their families. The center provides a home-like atmosphere with fellowship and responsibility. Each client is expected to pay rent, (foster financial responsibility), as well as meet minimal standards for attendance at out-patient groups, individual counseling sessions, and outside AA/NA Meetings.

Every Sunday afternoon from 1:30 PM until 2:30 PM, Harbor House, Inc. presents sessions for family and friends of the chemically dependent. Attendance at this session is mandatory for family members who wish to visit the client during visitation times on the weekend.

Due to the high demand for Residential Treatment Services, and the limited number of beds available, at times, all we can offer an individual are classes that include: counseling and education about HIV and Tuberculosis (TB); about the risks of needle-sharing; the risks of transmission to sexual partners and infants, and about steps that can be taken to ensure that HIV and TB transmission does not occur, as well as referral for HIV or TB services if necessary. At the time of the Pre-Screening, the admission counselor will offer these services until a residential bed opens up.

The Prevention Resource Center's services include, but are not limited to the following: the APNA (Arkansas Prevention Needs Assessment) Survey; operation of a clearinghouse and materials library; supporting other ADAP grantees; cooperating with other PRCs in the state; assisting with SYNAR Compliance Checks; serving as a RADAR Associate; organizing and maintenance of a Regional Task Force; collaboration with area coalitions; providing Drugs Don't Work and Prevention Generalist Trainings; and technical assistance for those interested in becoming a Certified Prevention Consultant in the state of Arkansas. Technical assistance is also provided for program development and more.

The Prevention Resource Center strives to provide culturally appropriate materials to address "culture" with a definition that goes beyond race and ethnic group. Recipients will be reflective of the diversity of the area (as it relates to age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity and physical challenges).

One specialty of the Region #5 PRC is the variety of trainings and presentations that can be provided, as time permits. Topics range from Stress Management to Ethics to Team Building and more. Trainings can be tailor made to fit the needs of your organization or agency.

Probably the area that the PRC concentrates on the most is community coalitions. There are groups of people from all sectors of the population that come together to work on prevention of substance abuse and building neighborhood attachment in each county covered by the Prevention Resource Center.

THE PRC LITERATURE CLEARINGHOUSE

One of the five dimensions of the Prevention Resource Center Program is Information and Dissemination. Within the PRC is a Literature Clearinghouse, as well as a Resource Room. In the Clearinghouse there are brochures, pamphlets, booklets and children's coloring books that relate to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs to gang violence. Certain items are written in Spanish. These items are for the public to access (in limited amounts) at no cost. The inventory is constantly changing as it is provided from the Office of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention.

The PRC Resource Room is primarily for research purposes. The public is welcome to visit and look over programs that are proven to work and endorsed by federal agencies. Since these are provided by our funding source, they must remain at our office. We also have books and handouts on numerous topics that can be viewed at leisure. If you are interested in literature or seeing the resource room, please call or email us.
