PARON — A new addiction recovery center offering medical detox and residential services to men and women has opened in the heart of Saline County—one that looks and feels nothing like what most people imagine when they hear the word “rehab.”

Located in the newly transformed Paron school, the center blends clinical excellence with immersive, human-centered healing.

What makes Peak State different?

● Spa-like medical detox. Clients begin recovery in a calming, wellness-forward environment with infrared saunas, aromatherapy, massage chairs, and guided breathwork. All of this is paired with high-quality medical care to support the body and nervous system during early stabilization.

● Residential treatment that empowers. Clients live on-site in a structured, energizing environment designed for growth. With daily routines that include breathwork, meditation, art therapy, and movement, the focus isn’t just on sobriety—it’s on rebuilding confidence, connection, and momentum. This is where recovery shifts from surviving to becoming.

● Wellness therapies that are built in—not bolted on. Peak State offers dedicated studio spaces for art therapy, breathwork, and immersive yoga and meditation. These aren't optional add-ons—they’re integrated into the treatment schedule because emotional healing demands more than just talk.

● Energy is part of the process. Peak State believes motion creates emotion. In high-intensity group sessions, clients are encouraged to stand, move, or even dance—using energy to help process pain and unlock change.

● Forward-focused recovery. Getting sober is just the beginning. Clients receive job-readiness support, resume help, and even professional headshots to prepare for reentry into the workforce with confidence and clarity.

● A program built on empowerment. Most recovery centers aim to stop the behavior. Peak State is built to rebuild the person. The goal isn’t just to help people stay sober—but to help them create lives they actually want to live.

“This is the kind of place we needed when our families were struggling,” said founder Christopher Dickie. “People don’t just need treatment. They need something that helps them feel alive again.”

With overdose deaths still rising and many Arkansans running out of options, Peak State Recovery offers something timely, necessary, and deeply different: a recovery center designed not just to stabilize—but to transform.
