Who may contact River City Recovery
Referral inquiries may come from professionals, community resources, families, or others helping an adult explore care. River City Recovery provides outpatient substance use and mental health services at its Columbus location. A referral should present the adult’s current situation as clearly as possible without assuming that a particular level will be offered.
- Referral inquiries can come from professionals, families, or community resources
- Columbus, GA admissions can explain assessment steps
Useful information may include the reason for referral, recent substance use, mental health symptoms, current medications, prior care, practical barriers, and known service needs. Admissions can explain the next steps and assessment process. Referral contact does not establish admission, program placement, insurance participation, or a particular outcome.
Available outpatient programs and services

Available levels of care include a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. The evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM and should be reconfirmed.
- Program structure should reflect assessed needs, not convenience alone
- Evening IOP provides a scheduled outpatient option
Services include individual therapy, medication management, drug testing and monitoring, care coordination and referrals, case management, family support, clinical or medical assessments, and medical oversight. The services used in a care plan depend on assessed needs and the applicable program. Referral partners should avoid selecting a level based only on scheduling convenience because the amount of appropriate structure also matters.
Information that supports referral coordination
A concise referral summary can help admissions understand the request. Include the adult’s consent and contact process as applicable, along with the presenting concerns and desired coordination. Note substance use patterns, relevant mental health concerns, current medications, recent treatment, and any known attendance barriers.
- Clear, current information supports referral coordination
- Coordination depends on the adult’s care and circumstances
It is also useful to identify services already involved and the purpose of requested communication. River City Recovery offers care coordination and case management, but the exact coordination available depends on the person’s care and circumstances. Referral partners should use accurate, current information and verify practical details directly rather than relying on assumptions about scheduling, admission, or coverage.
