A respectful approach to opioid-related concerns
Opioid use can involve complex health, emotional, family, and practical concerns. River City Recovery offers nonresidential outpatient support for adults without defining a person by substance use. The available levels of care are PHP, IOP, evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. These options vary in structure and attendance expectations.
- Opioid support begins with a respectful assessment
- Care for people near Augusta, GA is outpatient and Columbus-based
Clinical and medical assessments help determine whether outpatient treatment is suitable and which level may fit the person’s current needs. A website cannot make that decision for an individual. When a person needs a service outside the available scope, care coordination and referrals may help identify another direction.
Services within an outpatient plan

River City Recovery offers individual therapy, medication management, medical oversight, and clinical and medical assessments. Drug testing and monitoring may also be included. Case management, family support, and care coordination and referrals can address needs that extend beyond a therapy conversation. The services included in a particular plan depend on assessment and are not identical for everyone.
- Your plan can address substance use and mental health
- Outpatient participants return home after scheduled care
Mental health concerns can be discussed alongside substance use needs. Participants in outpatient care return home after scheduled services. This differs from residential or inpatient treatment. Staff can explain the structure of each program, but no admission or result can be guaranteed. Consistent communication can help participants and staff respond when needs or circumstances change.
