A caller may find it useful to have a list of current medications, recent substance use, mental health concerns, and previous treatment. Information about work, school, caregiving, and transportation can also matter because River City Recovery's programs vary in intensity and schedule.

Plain descriptions help staff understand your current needs
Insurance review remains separate from admission decisions

Admissions may ask additional questions based on the circumstances. Honest answers help staff understand whether adult outpatient care is within the program's scope. A person does not need to use clinical terminology or know a diagnosis to explain what has been happening.

Insurance details may also be requested if the person wants help checking benefits. Coverage should be verified directly rather than assumed. River City Recovery does not promise admission, insurer approval, or a specific out-of-pocket amount.
