Understanding the boundaries of care

River City Recovery is an outpatient provider. 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. For immediate danger, call 911 or use an appropriate emergency or crisis resource now. These boundaries are important when discussing heroin-related concerns because some needs may require another setting or provider.

Heroin needs may require care beyond outpatient services
Referrals can support needs outside River City Recovery’s scope

Admissions can describe the outpatient programs and available referral support, but cannot guarantee enrollment. Share information openly about recent use, current symptoms, mental health concerns, medications, and previous care. Accurate details allow for a more useful discussion about whether a Columbus-based outpatient assessment may be appropriate or whether care coordination should focus on a different service.
