River City Recovery Center Inc - Altua

A Restorative Setting for Recovery

The ranch-style campus creates a tranquil space for reflection and community connection. The center offers residential care programs for men, as well as sober living for women. Gender-separate housing is designed for comfort and privacy within a supportive group setting. The property’s quiet, natural surroundings encourage mindfulness and focus, helping clients separate from daily stressors and concentrate on healing. With a low client-to-counselor ratio, staff is able to provide a high level of personalized attention.

Residential Care with 12-Step and Evidence-Based Therapy

The residential program integrates evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse-prevention counseling with a 12-step framework. Clients engage in one-on-one counseling, process groups, and recovery meetings while learning practical life skills that support long-term wellness. Daily routines emphasize consistency and structure, while flexible programming allows staff to adjust care to each person’s pace and goals as they progress through treatment. This balance encourages both stability and motivation for lasting change.

Peer Connection and Family Support

Staff encourage clients to actively participate in group therapy and recovery meetings to strengthen social bonds and build mutual accountability. Family involvement is an essential part of the process. Visits from loved ones are encouraged and can be scheduled to help improve communication and reestablish healthy boundaries. The community-centered approach allows individuals to rediscover self-worth and the tools to sustain long-term recovery.

Transition and Growth Opportunities

The center’s Senior Resident program gives clients the opportunity to strengthen their recovery foundation while preparing for independence. Clients who qualify can extend their stay to mentor others, continue therapy, and practice practical life management. This step-down model supports smoother reintegration into daily life. Combined with life skills training covering topics like budgeting, job readiness, and self-care, the program empowers clients to maintain stability beyond treatment while helping others earlier on the recovery path.
