Understanding trauma and substance use concerns
Trauma-related distress and substance use can affect emotions, relationships, routines, and a person's ability to manage everyday responsibilities. Each person arrives with a different history, so the first step is understanding current concerns rather than making assumptions. River City Recovery offers clinical and medical assessments for adults considering outpatient care.
- Assessment considers trauma-related distress and substance use
- Referrals may help when outpatient care is not suitable
The assessment process can help identify relevant substance use and mental health needs, current medications, practical concerns, and appropriate next steps. Support is non-stigmatizing and centered on the individual. When another setting is needed, care coordination and referrals are among the available services.
