Vantage Point of Northwest Arkansas, located near Fayetteville, offers inpatient treatment for children and teens ages 12-17 in a secure, safe, and serene environment. We provide a six-month intensive residential HERO program, and a 10-day program for youth participating in acute crisis stabilization. Our HERO (Hope, Empower, Responsibility, Opportunity) program treats young people who have been unable to successfully manage psychiatric and/or behavioral concerns in outpatient settings.
Typically, children and teens who come to our center are unable to function at home and school due to the symptoms of their disorder. Through a comprehensive approach, we help each child learn to manage the symptoms of their disorder(s) and return to their community a happy, productive child or teen.

- PTSD and stress-related disorders
- Depression

Each child will be provided with an individualized treatment plan that addresses concerns like aggression, suicidal ideations, and self-harming behaviors.
