Peak State Recovery Center announced that groundbreaking for its new outpatient addiction treatment facility will take place Monday, November 18, 2026, at 1904 Evans Loop in Bryant. The center will link the organization’s 44‑bed Paron campus with three levels of outpatient care and provide recovery housing for clients who need temporary accommodation, according to a KATV release.
The new Bryant location is designed to serve adults who require treatment but do not need full‑time residence. It will accommodate 30 to 40 adults at a time, offering at least 20 hours of daytime treatment each week. Intensive outpatient care is scheduled for three hours a day, three days a week, and a weekly group will be available for adults who need fewer visits.
Peak State’s whole‑person approach combines clinical care with yoga, guided meditation, infrared saunas and massage chairs in a warm, welcoming environment focused on personal empowerment and community support. Transportation will be provided from any location in the state, and the center plans to establish stable temporary housing to help clients navigate early recovery.
Local leaders will address the ceremony, including State Representative RJ Hawk, Bryant Mayor Christ Treat, and additional community officials. Their presence underscores the importance of expanding substance‑misuse services in Saline County, where a 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment by Saline Memorial Hospital found that 36 % of respondents believe the hospital and its partners should prioritize improving those services.
CDC data compiled by Aspire Arkansas shows that 11 Saline County residents died of drug overdoses in 2024, highlighting the urgent need for expanded treatment options. The family‑owned center opened its 44‑bed Paron campus in July 2025 in the former Paron school, offering 12 medical detox beds and 32 residential treatment beds for adults.
What’s next: After the groundbreaking ceremony, Peak State plans to begin renovations on the newly purchased Bryant property. The organization expects to open the outpatient facility to patients in early 2027, pending completion of construction and staffing.
