Support for Gainesville residents at the Columbus facility
River City Recovery's outpatient facility is located at 3822 Rosemont Drive in Columbus, Georgia. Adults from Gainesville can contact the Columbus admissions team to discuss care and determine whether the location and required attendance are practical.
- If outpatient care fits after assessment, in-person attendance at the published Columbus facility would require travel from Gainesville
- A first call can clarify the admissions process
Calling first can reduce uncertainty. Admissions can discuss what brings you to treatment, outline the available programs, and explain the next steps. No caller should expect a promised admission or outcome. Program decisions depend on the admissions and assessment process, as well as whether the setting matches current needs.
Understanding available program structures

The Partial Hospitalization Program provides one outpatient option, while the Intensive Outpatient Program provides another. River City Recovery also offers outpatient therapy. These options differ in structure, and the names alone do not determine which one a person should enter. Assessment and direct discussion are important parts of planning.
- Several outpatient structures support different assessed needs
- Evening IOP may help with scheduling travel
Evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 6:15 and 9:15 PM. That schedule should be reconfirmed. The facility's hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. These facility hours do not mean that admission support is available at all times.
Clinical and practical services available
Individual therapy, medication management, drug testing and monitoring, and family support are among the available services. River City Recovery also offers case management, care coordination, referrals, clinical and medical assessments, and medical oversight. Services can be organized according to a participant's assessed outpatient needs.
- Heroin care can address substance use and mental health
- Assessment helps shape an individual outpatient plan
The organization addresses both substance use and mental health in an adult outpatient context. During an initial call, you can mention both areas if they are relevant. Admissions can explain the scope of services, while the assessment process supports more individualized decisions about care.
