Understanding the available care

River City Recovery offers a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, Evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. Services include individual therapy, assessments, medication management, medical oversight, drug testing and monitoring, case management, family support, care coordination, and referrals.
- Outpatient care offers different levels of scheduled support
- Individual needs and assessment guide care recommendations
The appropriate services and level depend on individual needs and review. Admission, placement, and outcomes are not promised. Loved ones can ask how the starting process works and what information may be useful.
Setting realistic boundaries around support
Supporting someone does not mean controlling every decision or removing every consequence. Consider what help you can offer consistently, such as transportation planning, gathering information, or participating in family support when appropriate.
- Consistent support can respect both choice and personal limits
- The adult’s direct participation remains important in care planning
Be clear about your own limits. Avoid making promises on behalf of the facility or presenting one phone call as a guaranteed solution. If the adult is open to help, encourage direct communication with admissions and honest discussion during any assessment.
