Start with a direct, private conversation

You do not need to have every detail settled before contacting River City Recovery. Tell admissions what has been happening, what concerns you most, and what kind of schedule you manage. It can also help to mention past care, current mental health concerns, medications, and practical barriers to attendance.

A first call can clarify practical next steps
Cocaine care begins with an honest, private conversation

The purpose of this first conversation is to understand the available outpatient options and identify reasonable next steps. River City Recovery offers clinical and medical assessments, care coordination, referrals, and case management. If the available services do not match what you need, the team can discuss referrals rather than presenting outpatient treatment as the answer for every situation.

When you call, consider having a few questions ready. You might ask how the assessment process works, what information is needed, how often a program meets, and what to expect during the first visit. You may also ask whether daytime or evening programming is relevant to your circumstances.

Clear questions can make the conversation more useful. No outcome or admission can be promised, and program fit must be discussed individually. The how to start page can help you prepare before speaking with admissions.

Understand the outpatient choices

River City Recovery provides a Partial Hospitalization Program, an Intensive Outpatient Program, an evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. These options differ in structure and time commitment. Admissions can describe them without asking you to choose a level of care on your own.

Outpatient options offer different levels of weekly structure
Evening IOP may support some work and family schedules

Evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM, but that schedule should be reconfirmed. 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.

Services may include individual therapy, medication management, drug testing and monitoring, family support, case management, and medical oversight. Care coordination can also help connect different parts of a treatment plan. The specific services used should reflect the assessment and program arrangement. Someone who needs a different setting can still call to ask about referrals and appropriate next steps.

Know when another kind of help is needed

Outpatient care is not designed to replace emergency services, crisis stabilization, medical detox, or residential treatment. If there is an immediate threat to safety or a medical emergency, use local emergency resources rather than waiting for an outpatient response. River City Recovery's facility hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The program should not be treated as an around-the-clock crisis service.

Emergencies require local emergency help, not outpatient care
Assessments and referrals can guide another level of support

If your needs are not urgent but may be beyond outpatient care, be candid during the admissions conversation. Describe recent use, current safety concerns, previous treatment, and any difficulty managing daily activities. River City Recovery offers assessments, care coordination, and referrals that can support a more informed next step. Calling does not guarantee admission or a particular outcome. It creates an opportunity to discuss the available information and decide what should happen next.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I say when I call about cocaine use?

Describe what is happening in straightforward terms. Share how cocaine use affects daily life, what concerns you now, and whether you have received care before. You can also discuss your schedule, transportation, mental health concerns, and questions about program expectations. Admissions can then explain the assessment and outpatient options.

How should I plan for cocaine withdrawal and possible overnight-care needs before outpatient treatment?

Withdrawal may require medical evaluation, while overnight care involves a different setting from the published outpatient programs. It provides adult outpatient substance use and mental health services in Columbus. Admissions can discuss PHP, IOP, evening IOP, outpatient therapy, and possible referrals when another setting appears necessary.

Can family members be part of the process?

Family support is among the services available at River City Recovery. How it fits into care depends on the person's needs and program plan. A family member may also help someone prepare questions or make the first call, while respecting the adult seeking care and the admissions process.

Is an evening outpatient option available?

River City Recovery offers an evening IOP on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM. Because schedules can require confirmation, ask admissions about current meeting times and program fit. Evening availability does not mean that admissions or crisis services operate continuously.
