Since that time, we have provided quality care for the children of Arkansas, serving severely emotionally disturbed children & adolescents in a 111 bed Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) and developmentally disabled children & adolescents in a 61 bed Intermediate Care Facility for the Intellectually Disabled (ICF-IID).

Millcreek is a privately licensed Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF), Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID), and Special Education School for children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 17.

Psychiatric patients require care from specialty-trained professionals, in a highly-specialized, and quality-focused environment. We are currently seeking to add a Full-Time, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist to our skilled and patient focused team.
