Information Discussed During Admissions

An initial conversation may address the reason for seeking care, the type of support requested, and whether outpatient treatment appears relevant. River City Recovery offers clinical and medical assessments as part of its services. Assessment information can help guide discussion of the available outpatient options.

Assessments help clarify suitable outpatient options
Each care plan reflects individual needs

It can be helpful to prepare a short list of current concerns, prior treatment information, medications, scheduling restrictions, and questions. Only share information that staff request and explain anything you do not understand. Clear information helps the admissions discussion stay focused, but it does not create a guaranteed placement or outcome.

You can also ask about individual therapy, medication management, drug testing and monitoring, care coordination, case management, family support, and medical oversight. Service needs vary by person. Availability of an available service does not mean it will automatically be part of every participant's care plan.

Understanding the Available Programs

River City Recovery offers a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, Evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. These are outpatient levels of care, so participants live outside the facility and attend scheduled services. Admissions can explain the current structure and help identify which option may warrant further assessment.

Several outpatient program structures are available
Evening program times should be reconfirmed

The Evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM. Anyone considering that schedule should reconfirm it directly. General facility hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and they do not indicate continuous admissions availability.

If a caller's needs are outside the services provided, care coordination and referrals may be discussed. River City Recovery should not be treated as an emergency response service.
