Recovery Workflow

HOW ARRN WORKS

A closed-loop recovery coordination workflow from crisis contact to follow-up support.

1
Event or Referral Identified
An overdose, crisis, or reentry event is logged by hospitals, EMS, courts, jails, or community partners.
2
ARRN Routes to Local Support
The platform matches the event to available local recovery resources, coaches, and services in real time.
3
Peer or Coordinator Engaged
A Certified Peer Recovery Specialist or recovery coordinator is engaged to make direct community contact.
4
Warm Handoff Completed
The referral is formally transferred to the appropriate treatment provider, shelter, or support service.
5
Follow-up & Outcome Tracking
ARRN tracks engagement, follow-up contacts, and outcome data for continuous improvement and funder reporting.
Implementation

PILOT ROLLOUT STRATEGY

A phased implementation model designed to prove outcomes, refine operations, and scale statewide.

Phase 1 — Pilot

Launch Counties

Pulaski, Benton & Washington Counties

Prove the coordination model in Arkansas's highest-volume communities with established partner networks and referral volume.

  • Partner onboarding
  • Workflow validation
  • Baseline outcome reporting
Phase 2 — Expansion

Rural Recovery Gaps

Priority rural communities statewide

Expand into underserved counties with limited treatment access and fragmented referral pathways that depend on manual coordination.

  • Transportation coordination
  • Warm handoff scaling
  • Rural partner network
Phase 3 — Statewide

Statewide Coordination

All 75 Arkansas counties

Scale ARRN as Arkansas's statewide recovery operating layer — connecting every county into a unified coordination infrastructure.

Focus Areas
  • Analytics & outcome reporting
  • Agency coordination
  • Sustainability planning
  • Statewide accountability
Outcomes

MEASURABLE OUTCOMES

ARRN is designed to help Arkansas track what happens after the referral — not just count contacts.

Reduced Response Delays
Faster connections between overdose events and peer recovery support — measurable against baseline response times.
Increased Recovery Engagement
Tracked rates of people who connect with support, engage in treatment, and sustain recovery beyond initial contact.
Improved Referral Completion
Documented referral-to-connection rates, reducing the gap between a referral being made and care being received.
Closed-loop Warm Handoffs
Confirmed transfers between referral sources and receiving organizations — not just handoff attempts, but verified connections.
Rural Coordination Visibility
Real-time visibility into recovery coordination activity and gaps across rural and underserved Arkansas communities.
Outcome & Follow-up Reporting
Structured data for grant reports, agency accountability, and continuous program improvement — beyond simple referral counts.

The Case for ARRN

WHY ARKANSAS
NEEDS THIS

Arkansas communities need faster coordination, stronger recovery follow-up, and better visibility into referral outcomes.

1
Fragmented Response Pathways
Many overdose, crisis, and reentry touchpoints still rely on disconnected handoffs and manual follow-up. When a person moves from an ER to a referral to a recovery organization, there is often no system tracking whether the connection was made — or what happened next.
2
Rural Access Gaps
Rural communities face longer travel distances, fewer treatment options, and limited real-time recovery support coverage. Without coordination infrastructure, people in need often fall through the gaps between referral and care — particularly outside metropolitan areas.
3
Limited Outcome Visibility
Programs may know a referral was made, but not whether the person connected, engaged, or received follow-up support. Without closed-loop tracking, it is difficult to demonstrate impact, improve operations, or meet the accountability requirements of state and federal funders.
ARRN positions Arkansas to move from referral lists to coordinated recovery infrastructure — giving every community the operational visibility needed to close the gap between crisis and sustained recovery.

About ARRN

Built for Arkansas.
Designed for Recovery.

The Arkansas Recovery Response Network (ARRN) is a statewide coordination infrastructure designed to close the critical gaps between emergency overdose response and long-term recovery services.

By connecting hospitals, peer recovery coaches, county health departments, nonprofits, churches, and transportation networks through a unified platform, ARRN ensures that every person in Arkansas who experiences an overdose receives a timely, compassionate, and coordinated response — regardless of their county, insurance status, or zip code.
