Outpatient programs available in Columbus

River City Recovery offers a Partial Hospitalization Program, commonly called PHP, and an Intensive Outpatient Program, commonly called IOP. Outpatient therapy is also available. These levels provide different degrees of structure while allowing participants to remain outside a residential setting.

Several outpatient care levels offer different structure
Evening program hours should be reconfirmed before travel

An evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 PM to 9:15 PM. Because schedules can change, callers should reconfirm the current days and hours with admissions. A conversation can also help determine which program structure should be considered based on an adult's current circumstances and assessment.

Possible withdrawal needs call for appropriate medical evaluation before outpatient planning. If an individual needs a service that is not available, care coordination and referrals may help connect that person with another resource. No admission or particular result can be promised before needs are reviewed.

Services that can support continued care

Heroin treatment support may involve more than attending a single type of appointment. River City Recovery's available services include individual therapy, medication management, clinical and medical assessments, and medical oversight. The specific services involved depend on the program and the needs identified during the admission and assessment process.

Heroin care can address mental health concerns too
Assessment helps shape services around identified needs

Drug testing and monitoring are also available within care. Case management can help address practical treatment needs, while care coordination and referrals can support communication about services outside River City Recovery. Family support is available as another part of the broader outpatient approach.

Mental health concerns and substance use can occur together. Adults can describe both types of concerns when they call, rather than deciding on their own which issue should be addressed first. The team can explain the available substance use and mental health services without making assumptions or using stigmatizing language.
