The first step in admissions

Starting admissions does not require knowing which program is appropriate. A prospective participant or family member can first contact River City Recovery for general information. The conversation may cover the main reasons for seeking help, substance use concerns, mental health symptoms, prior treatment, medications, and practical barriers to regular attendance.

Admissions can begin before you know the right program
A call provides information without promising acceptance

Admissions can explain available services and how clinical or medical assessments inform recommendations. A call is not a promise of acceptance into a program. River City Recovery considers individual needs and the suitability of outpatient care. Honest information helps staff discuss realistic options. When needs appear to fall outside the available setting, care coordination and referrals may support another next step.
