At a Glance
River City Recovery’s Partial Hospitalization Program is an outpatient option for adults addressing alcohol concerns alongside possible mental health needs. PHP can combine structured programming with individual therapy, assessments, medication management, monitoring, case management, family support, and care coordination as appropriate. An assessment helps determine whether this Columbus-based level of care should be considered.
River City Recovery’s published outpatient programs are based in Columbus, GA. You can review IOP, PHP, and insurance verification when you are ready.

How PHP can address alcohol concerns
Alcohol concerns can affect health, relationships, responsibilities, and emotional well-being. PHP offers a structured outpatient setting for adults who may need more support than a less intensive outpatient schedule. The program allows participants to receive care without residing at the facility. Suitability depends on an assessment rather than alcohol use alone.
- PHP offers structured outpatient support for alcohol concerns
- Care plans may address substance use and mental health together
A plan may consider both substance use and mental health concerns. Available services include individual therapy, clinical or medical assessments, medication management, drug testing and monitoring, case management, family support, medical oversight, referrals, and care coordination. Not every service is included in every plan, and no specific outcome is promised.
What the assessment helps determine

The admissions and assessment process helps clarify current alcohol use, mental health concerns, prior care, medications, goals, and practical needs. Accurate information supports a more informed review. An assessment may indicate that PHP should be considered, or that another outpatient level or outside service may be more appropriate.
- Assessment considers alcohol use, medications, goals, and practical needs
- PHP admission depends on individual fit and outpatient scope
Calling does not ensure admission to PHP. River City Recovery must determine whether its outpatient scope can meet the person’s needs. The team may discuss Intensive Outpatient Program, Evening IOP, or outpatient therapy when one of those options is relevant. Care coordination and referrals may support needs outside the program.
Medical needs and the limits of PHP
River City Recovery provides medical oversight and medication management as available outpatient services. These can support treatment when appropriate, but PHP is not onsite medical detox. A person who may be at risk from alcohol withdrawal should seek an appropriate medical evaluation rather than assuming outpatient PHP can manage that need.
- Possible withdrawal needs call for appropriate medical evaluation before outpatient planning. River City Recovery provides detox referrals when needed.
- Medical oversight does not replace urgent medical care
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. Anyone facing an immediate medical or safety concern should contact appropriate emergency or crisis resources. An admissions call and outpatient assessment are not substitutes for urgent care. Referrals may be discussed when another service is needed.
