What to expect from the first call
The first call helps admissions understand why the person is seeking support and whether River City Recovery's outpatient services may be relevant. Be prepared to provide basic contact details and a clear summary of current concerns. Useful information may include substances used, mental health symptoms, medications, recent care, and practical scheduling needs. It is acceptable if some details are unknown. The goal is to begin an accurate conversation, not to present a perfect history.
- The first admissions call begins a clear conversation
- Unknown details do not prevent you from starting
Ask what information or records may be needed for the next step. Admissions can describe available programs, assessments, and general participation expectations. A phone conversation alone does not establish a diagnosis, determine the final level of care, or guarantee admission. River City Recovery's 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.
Assessment and level-of-care planning
River City Recovery offers clinical and medical assessments to help clarify outpatient needs. An assessment may consider substance use, mental health concerns, medical factors, medications, daily functioning, previous care, and the person's ability to participate. This information supports level-of-care planning. The available options are a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. Each involves a different degree of structure.
- Assessment helps guide the appropriate outpatient care level
- Evening IOP offers structured care on three weekdays
Placement depends on assessed needs and the services available. A caller's preferred program or schedule is important, but it is not the only factor. The evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM. Reconfirm that schedule directly. River City Recovery also offers individual therapy, medication management, monitoring, medical oversight, family support, case management, care coordination, and referrals.

Family members may help with calls or planning when appropriate. The adult seeking care remains central to the assessment and admission decision. Bring questions about attendance, services, communication, and what to expect before the first scheduled appointment.

When another type of care may be needed
River City Recovery provides adult outpatient substance use and mental health care. Possible withdrawal needs call for appropriate medical evaluation before outpatient planning. An overnight setting involves a different level of care from the published outpatient programs.
- Admissions covers adult outpatient care, not emergency services
- Referrals may help when another care setting fits
For immediate danger, call 911 or use an appropriate emergency or crisis resource now. Be direct about withdrawal concerns, medical needs, immediate safety issues, and recent crises when speaking with admissions. This helps identify whether the outpatient scope appears suitable or whether another service should be considered first.
Care coordination and referrals are among the available services. If River City Recovery cannot address a particular need, staff may help identify an appropriate direction. Do not wait for a routine outpatient call when someone faces immediate danger or a serious medical concern. Seek appropriate emergency assistance. Clear information protects the person seeking care and helps admissions avoid presenting an outpatient program as a replacement for a more intensive or urgent service.
