Understanding anxiety alongside substance use

Anxiety and substance use can affect one another, but each person’s experience is different. Someone may notice worry, tension, or fear while also struggling to change alcohol or drug use. Others may be unsure which concern began first. An assessment can consider both without requiring the person to explain the connection before asking for help.

Anxiety and substance use can be assessed together
You need not explain which concern began first

A non-stigmatizing approach focuses on current needs, safety, functioning, and goals. River City Recovery provides outpatient substance use and mental health services for adults. For immediate danger, call 911 or use an appropriate emergency or crisis resource now.

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. Needs outside its scope may be addressed through coordination and referrals.

Services may include individual therapy, medication management, medical oversight, family support, case management, and drug testing and monitoring. Care coordination and referrals are also available. River City Recovery is listed in The Joint Commission Behavioral Health Care and Human Services provider locator for PHP, IOP, and outpatient therapy categories, using provider ID 744716.

Building a plan that considers the whole person

Effective planning starts with a broad understanding of what is happening. Assessment may include questions about anxiety, substance use, physical health, medications, family circumstances, work, and other responsibilities. This process helps the team consider suitable outpatient services. It may also identify needs that require support from resources beyond River City Recovery.

Planning considers health, family life, work, and medications
Care can reflect both anxiety and substance use concerns

An outpatient plan may include individual therapy, medication management, monitoring, case management, or family support when relevant. Not every service is appropriate for every participant. The plan can reflect both mental health and substance use concerns without reducing the person to a diagnosis. Ongoing communication allows needs and goals to be reviewed over time.
