Boundaries, support, and appropriate referrals

Supporting someone does not require taking control of every decision. Clear boundaries can protect family relationships and reduce confusion about what help you can provide. Consider offering transportation planning, help with questions, or encouragement to complete an assessment. River City Recovery offers family support as part of its service range when appropriate.

Support can respect both choice and family boundaries
Referrals may help when outpatient care is unsuitable

Possible withdrawal needs call for appropriate medical evaluation before outpatient planning. An overnight setting involves a different level of care from the published outpatient programs. If those needs are present, ask about care coordination and referrals. An immediate safety or medical emergency requires emergency services rather than routine outpatient admissions.
