A clear medication list can be helpful when medication management or medical oversight may be relevant. Include medication names and the way each is currently taken. It may also help to note past substance use or mental health treatment, current concerns, and important changes in health or functioning. Bring only materials the admissions team confirms are appropriate for the scheduled visit.

Accurate health information can support your assessment
Program recommendations depend on your assessed needs

Clinical and medical assessments may consider substance use patterns, mental health concerns, medications, prior care, and daily functioning. Accurate information helps the team understand the situation and explain its scope. River City Recovery offers PHP, IOP, Evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. A recommendation cannot be assumed before assessment, and admission or a particular outcome is not promised.

Work, education, caregiving, and transportation can affect program participation. Ask admissions about the general time commitment for any level under consideration before making long-term arrangements or changing an existing schedule.
