River City Recovery offers a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, Evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. These levels do not carry the same time commitment or structure. Admissions can explain current program details, while an assessment helps identify which level may be appropriate.

Working professionals can compare several outpatient care levels
Evening IOP offers a schedule outside standard work hours

Evening IOP meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM. Reconfirm the schedule during the call because operational details can change. Facility hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Reviewing the available programs beforehand may help you develop specific questions. Do not assume that an evening schedule or a preferred level will be suitable until the relevant needs and requirements are discussed.

Understanding Services and Outpatient Care Boundaries in Georgia

The first conversation can clarify which services may be part of outpatient care based on your program and assessed needs. Available services include individual therapy, medication management, case management, medical oversight, family support, drug testing and monitoring, assessments, care coordination, and referrals.

Services depend on your assessed needs and program
Georgia outpatient care has clear scope limits

If your needs fall outside this scope, care coordination and referrals may help connect you with another type of resource. You can also read about substance-related concerns and mental health care. A conversation provides information but does not guarantee admission or program fit. To discuss available adult outpatient care, call 706-617-4970.

Write down remaining questions and keep important contact details together. Insurance participation or coverage should not be assumed. Verification is necessary.
