Frequently Asked Questions

Is there one standard packing list for every program?

No universal packing list is established in the facility information. What is needed may differ by appointment and program. Contact admissions for specific instructions before traveling from Old Fourth Ward to the Columbus facility.

Should I prepare a medication list?

A current medication list can support the assessment and medication management discussion. Ask admissions what details to include. Do not change prescribed medication simply because an appointment is scheduled; raise medication questions through the appropriate care process.

Do I need to pack for an overnight stay?

River City Recovery offers outpatient services. Overnight treatment is a different setting from the published outpatient programs. Participants do not move into the facility as part of these programs. Bring only the information and personal items admissions specifically requests.

What schedule should I confirm?

Confirm your individual appointment and program schedule. Facility hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM and should be reconfirmed.

What if I may need detox or emergency help?

Possible withdrawal needs call for appropriate medical evaluation before outpatient planning. River City Recovery provides detox referrals when needed. For immediate danger, call 911 or use an appropriate emergency or crisis resource now. Discuss withdrawal concerns before attending when possible. An immediate emergency requires an appropriate emergency resource, while care coordination and referrals may assist with needs outside outpatient scope.
