What We Treat at Riverside Recovery Resources

The Story You Think Is Unique, We Have Heard

Almost everyone walks in convinced their case is the exception. Too far along, too complicated, too shameful. In forty years we have heard the version you are about to tell us, and then some. Whatever you have been using, the hold it has on you is medical, not a verdict on your character, and it is something our counselors work with every single day.

We work with the full range of substance use through outpatient and intensive outpatient counseling, along with the anger, grief, and trauma that so often sit underneath it. What you get here is real recovery work, grounded in the twelve-step model and built around your actual life, not a lecture and a certificate on the way out.

Where We Fit, And Where We Send You If We Are Not The Answer

We are an outpatient organization, and we are direct about what that means. You build your recovery while you keep living your life, working, staying at home, staying close to your family, instead of checking into a facility. For most people meeting a court requirement or getting ahead of a problem, that is exactly the right level of support.

If your situation calls for something we do not provide, like medically supervised detox to get through withdrawal safely, we will tell you plainly rather than take you on and hope for the best. We will help point you toward the right place first, and be here for the outpatient work that comes after. Sending you to the right care is more useful to you than pretending we are something we are not.

The Substances And Conditions We Work With

Recovery starts with naming the thing plainly. Here is what we work with most, each with its own path through our programs.
The one that hides in plain sight because it is legal and everywhere. We work with the daily drinking that quietly stopped being a choice.
From painkillers that started with a real injury to heroin, we help you take the hold apart one honest step at a time.

For meth and cocaine, often running right alongside the drinking or the pressure, we get at the pattern underneath instead of just the substance.

The dependence that crept in while you were following a doctor’s orders. We work with it directly, and no one here treats you like a criminal for it.
When substance use is tangled up with depression, anxiety, anger, or old trauma, we address both together, because treating one alone is usually why it did not hold before.
