Put safety before a self-directed plan
Withdrawal concerns should be discussed with an appropriate professional who can consider the person’s specific circumstances. A general list of experiences cannot determine what one person needs or whether outpatient care is suitable. When contacting admissions, explain what has changed, when the change occurred, and what safety concerns are present. Also share relevant substance use, medication, mental health, and treatment information during the assessment process.

How assessment guides the next step

A clinical or medical assessment can help organize reported concerns and consider the appropriate direction for care. The process may address current kratom use, recent changes, previous treatment, emotional health concerns, available support, and practical ability to attend outpatient programming. Accurate information is important because River City Recovery offers outpatient services rather than every level of substance use care.
- Assessment helps guide kratom withdrawal and safety decisions
- Referrals are available when outpatient care does not fit
An assessment may support consideration of PHP, IOP, evening IOP, or outpatient therapy. It may also indicate that a service outside River City Recovery should be explored. Care coordination and referrals can help connect a person with other resources when appropriate. Neither an initial call nor an assessment guarantees admission, program placement, or an outcome.
Support available after outpatient placement
When an outpatient level is appropriate, a treatment plan may draw from individual therapy, medication management, drug testing and monitoring, case management, family support, medical oversight, and care coordination. These services can provide structure while the person participates from outside a residential setting.
- Kratom outpatient support may include structure and monitoring
- Evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) hours need confirmation

Its evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM. That schedule should be confirmed directly before relying on it.
