- Confirm visit details before traveling from Norcross, GA
- Facility hours are weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Start by confirming the appointment date, arrival expectations, and facility hours. Facility hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Listed facility hours do not establish continuous admissions or emergency availability. If an evening program is being considered, ask whether daytime administrative steps or assessments are also required.
Write down questions before the call or appointment. Useful topics include program schedules, the assessment process, expected attendance, payment verification, and how care coordination works. Having a short list can make the conversation easier when treatment planning already feels stressful.
Information That May Help the Assessment

Be ready to provide accurate personal contact information and a clear description of current concerns. It may help to organize details about substance use, mental health symptoms, previous treatment, current health concerns, and medications. Admissions should confirm which records or documents, if any, are required for a particular appointment.
- Accurate health information can support a clearer assessment
- Medication decisions require an appropriate clinical assessment
A current medication list can include medication names, amounts, and the prescribing source when known. Do not change or stop medication based on general website information. Medication management and medical oversight are among the available services, but individual decisions require an appropriate assessment.
If payment or coverage will be discussed, have relevant information available for verification. River City Recovery does not state that any named insurer is accepted without checking. Ask what the facility can verify, what costs may need clarification, and whether the payer must be contacted directly.
