Start with a focused admissions call
You do not need to prepare a perfect explanation before contacting River City Recovery. Begin with what is happening now, what kind of help you are seeking, and how work affects your availability. Admissions can explain the basic process and identify questions that an assessment may need to address.
- Your first call can begin with your current concerns
- Facility hours support weekday planning across Georgia
Useful details may include your typical work hours, rotating shifts, travel, transportation, family responsibilities, and times when you can reliably participate. You can also ask about the facility's location, current program schedules, and what to expect when starting the assessment process.
River City Recovery's 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. If you reach out by email at info@rivercityrecovery.net, avoid sending urgent requests that require an immediate emergency response.
Learn what each outpatient option involves
The available levels of care include a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. The programs differ in structure and time commitment. A preferred schedule is important to discuss, but an assessment helps determine what level may fit the person's clinical situation.
- Assessment helps match clinical needs with program structure
- Evening IOP offers scheduled care after daytime work hours
The evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM. Contact River City Recovery to confirm that schedule. Working adults should consider commute time and other evening responsibilities before deciding whether those hours appear manageable.
Depending on the plan, care may include individual therapy, medication management, clinical or medical assessments, drug testing and monitoring, case management, medical oversight, family support, and care coordination. Referrals may also be part of planning when another service or resource is needed.
How Assessment and Scheduling Work for Adults Balancing Recovery
Assessment gives you space to discuss substance use, mental health concerns, medications, health needs, previous care, and current support. Your work hours and predictable conflicts also matter. Accurate information helps the team understand your needs and consider whether an outpatient level of care may support consistent participation.
- Assessment considers both clinical needs and work demands
- A workable recovery routine leaves room for daily needs
Scheduling also considers sleep, meals, travel, childcare, and support outside work. If another professional is involved in your care, River City Recovery can explain whether coordination or additional information may be part of the process. The goal is a practical routine, not placing treatment into every remaining minute. Assessment does not guarantee admission or a specific program. To learn how the process begins, call 706-617-4970.
