Published outpatient care and assessed fit
River City Recovery is an adult outpatient provider. 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. For immediate danger, call 911 or use an appropriate emergency or crisis resource now. Admissions can discuss the scope of care and help identify when the requested service falls outside the program.
- Admissions covers adult outpatient care, not higher-level settings
- Referrals may support needs beyond the Columbus, GA program
Care coordination and referrals are available for non-emergency situations that require another resource. A caller should be open about recent substance use, health concerns, and current safety issues so the request can be understood accurately. For an immediate medical or safety emergency, use an appropriate emergency service rather than waiting for an outpatient admissions response.
