Assessments help clarify possible outpatient care

The conversation may include general questions about what brings you to treatment, what kind of support you are seeking, and whether there are immediate safety concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does calling River City Recovery mean I have enrolled?

No. The first call is an information and admissions conversation. It can lead to further assessment steps, but it does not guarantee admission, placement in a particular program, or a specific treatment result.

What information should I have ready?

Share what you comfortably can about current concerns, substance use, mental health, medications, recent care, and scheduling needs. A written question list and calendar may also help. Admissions can explain if more information is needed.

Can I call for a loved one?

Yes. Family members may ask general questions about adult outpatient care and support options. Privacy limits may apply to information about a particular person, and that adult’s involvement remains important when moving forward.

Will I need to travel to Columbus?

River City Recovery’s programs are based in Columbus, not Hoschton. Ask admissions about the expected schedule and location for any proposed next step. That information can help you decide whether travel is manageable.

What should I do for an immediate medical or safety emergency?

For immediate danger, call 911 or use an appropriate emergency or crisis resource now. Anyone facing an urgent medical or psychiatric crisis should use appropriate local emergency resources rather than waiting for routine outpatient admissions assistance.
