Bring only items requested for your visit

Notes about substance use patterns, mental health concerns, and recent changes may also help during clinical or medical assessments.

River City Recovery offers individual therapy, medication management, monitoring, medical oversight, case management, family support, and care coordination within its outpatient services.

Do I need to pack for an overnight stay?

No overnight stay is part of River City Recovery’s stated services. The facility provides PHP, IOP, Evening IOP, and outpatient therapy, not residential or inpatient treatment. Ask admissions what personal items are appropriate for the specific outpatient visit rather than packing for lodging.

What information may help during an assessment?

It may help to organize current concerns, substance use patterns, mental health symptoms, medications, prior care, and practical scheduling needs. Admissions can explain what is actually required. An assessment supports an individualized discussion, but it does not promise admission to a particular program or a specific result.

Will River City Recovery provide a visit-specific packing list?
