Comparing available levels of care
River City Recovery offers a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, Evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. These levels differ in structure and scheduling. Admissions can describe the programs and explain what information is needed to consider a possible fit. A call does not guarantee admission to a specific level or predict an outcome.
- Fentanyl care can vary in structure and scheduling
- Evening care may fit around daytime responsibilities
Evening IOP may be useful to ask about when daytime responsibilities affect scheduling. The schedule is Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM. Callers should reconfirm that schedule. Facility hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and do not indicate continuous admissions or emergency availability.
Services that can support an outpatient plan
Available services include individual therapy, medication management, drug testing and monitoring, care coordination and referrals, case management, family support, clinical and medical assessments, and medical oversight. These services can address different parts of an outpatient plan, but not every service or schedule will necessarily apply to every person.
- Services can support different parts of fentanyl care
- Your assessment helps shape an appropriate outpatient plan
It can help to ask how often attendance is expected, what the assessment process involves, how medication questions are addressed, and how family support may be included. Ask about transportation and work obligations before making commitments. Clear expectations support a more informed decision and help identify barriers that may need attention before care begins.
