River Oaks Treatment Center

Flexible Outpatient Care That Fits Work and Family

The center provides several outpatient levels of care so clients can stay engaged in treatment while managing daily responsibilities. Options include structured day programs (PHP) for those needing more hours each week, intensive outpatient (IOP) for a moderate level of support, and evening telehealth sessions for clients who cannot attend during the day. This flexibility allows people to keep their jobs, continue family responsibilities, and still receive consistent care.

Evidence-Based Treatment With MAT Options

Treatment addresses substance use and co-occurring mental health needs together. Care plans blend research-backed counseling, skills practice, and peer connection. Both 12-step and non-12-step support options are offered. When clinically appropriate, Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) can be prescribed to help reduce cravings and support stability. Care teams collaborate with clients to determine what to include based on history, goals, and safety.

Peer Support and Focused Groups

Peer accountability is central to the program. Groups may be organized by gender or shared interests, and dedicated tracks are available for veterans, LGBTQIA+ clients, and professionals. Family sessions are offered to improve communication and set practical support at home, keeping the focus on recovery in real life.

Sober Living Next Door and a Clear Step-Down Path

For those who need added structure, independent sober living is available adjacent to the outpatient building. Residents share common spaces and receive transportation to treatment and group activities. Many clients step down from sober living through outpatient care levels over time, with virtual options to stay connected.

Practical Education, Safety, and Aftercare

Education and planning are woven into treatment so clients leave with tools they can use in daily life. Programs cover relapse-prevention strategies, substance use education for both clients and families, and health topics such as tobacco cessation and reducing infection risks. Overdose response and naloxone education are also part of care, helping clients and loved ones prepare for emergencies. Case managers assist with discharge planning by linking clients to community resources, support groups, and alumni networks.
