Why an assessment is an important starting point

An assessment gathers information needed to consider an appropriate care plan. Substance use patterns, mental health concerns, health information, medications, previous treatment, daily responsibilities, and current supports may all be relevant. Honest answers help create a clearer picture. The process should be treated as an evaluation, not as a test that someone passes or fails.

Clinical assessments clarify needs without testing or judgment
Findings can guide outpatient care or outside referrals

River City Recovery offers clinical and medical assessments among its services. Assessment findings may help the team discuss outpatient program intensity and supportive services. They do not guarantee admission or results. If the identified need falls outside River City Recovery’s services, care coordination and referrals may become part of the next-step discussion.

Evening IOP may help when daytime attendance is difficult

Columbus-based levels of care include a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, Evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. The Evening IOP schedule is Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM, but it should be reconfirmed. Facility hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admissions can explain current processes and schedules.

Information that may shape outpatient planning

An assessment can consider substance use and mental health together rather than treating them as unrelated topics. Current medications, symptoms, previous services, treatment goals, and barriers to participation may affect the discussion. Sharing accurate information supports more useful planning. Questions are welcome when a term, recommendation, or expectation is unclear.
