Calling a treatment center for the first time can feel like stepping into something you cannot picture. Most people want to know what happens after they dial, whether they will have to leave home, and what a normal week looks like. River Rocks Recovery in Middletown, Ohio offers outpatient care, which means partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs at our center, with no overnight stay. Whether you are the one seeking help or the person helping someone you love, knowing the steps ahead of time makes that first call easier.
River Rocks Recovery provides care on an outpatient basis. Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the most structured level of outpatient care, and our intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers several sessions a week, with a night IOP option for people who need to work or handle responsibilities during the day. Both are offered at our Middletown center, and in both you go home in the evenings.
We do not offer inpatient or residential care. If you are looking for a program where you live on site, call us anyway and our admissions team can talk through what makes sense for you.
The first step is a phone call to our admissions team at (888) 905-6281. Admissions are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can call when the decision finally feels real, even if that is late at night. You do not need to have everything figured out. You can say what is going on and what worries you, and the team can explain how care works and what the next step would be. Family members and friends are welcome to call on someone’s behalf with questions.
Cost is often what keeps people from calling. River Rocks Recovery accepts Medicaid and most major commercial insurance plans. You can verify your insurance online before you call, or call and ask about your coverage directly. Knowing what your plan offers for PHP or IOP ahead of time lets you plan with real information.
Treatment begins with an individualized assessment. Our clinical team uses it to understand what you are dealing with and what support you need, then recommends the level of care that fits, PHP or IOP. The recommendation is based on your situation and not on a standard plan, and it can change as you progress. Someone who starts in PHP may later move to IOP, and someone who needs more structure can move the other way.
If you are not sure whether PHP or IOP fits your situation, call (888) 905-6281 and our admissions team can talk it through with you.
Care at River Rocks centers on therapy. You meet with a therapist for individual sessions and take part in clinician-led group therapy, where you spend time with other people who understand what recovery involves.
Your therapist may use cognitive behavioral therapy to work on the thoughts and habits tied to substance use, dialectical behavior therapy to build skills for handling intense emotions, and EMDR therapy when past trauma plays a role. Skills for staying sober, including a written plan, come through relapse prevention therapy. Which therapies you use depends on your assessment and your goals.
Many people come to treatment with anxiety, depression, or trauma alongside substance use. River Rocks treats these together through dual diagnosis care, so both are part of the same plan of care.
For some people, medication is a useful part of recovery. River Rocks offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as part of care when a clinician determines it fits, and always alongside therapy and not in place of it.
Addiction affects the people around the person in treatment, and relatives often have as many questions as the client does. Family members can call our admissions team with questions at any point, and family involvement in treatment is available when it fits the person’s care.
Because our care is outpatient, you live at home or in housing you arrange. Some people need a more supportive place to live during treatment. River Rocks works with an outside partner for sober living, which is separate housing and not a River Rocks program. Availability can vary, so it helps to ask our admissions team about it early.

The first call is a conversation and not a commitment. Call (888) 905-6281 at any hour, or check your insurance online first if you would like to know what your plan covers.
No. River Rocks Recovery offers outpatient care. PHP and IOP both take place at our Middletown center, and you return home in the evenings. We do not offer inpatient or residential treatment.
You reach our admissions team, which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They can answer questions about our programs and insurance and explain what the next step is, which is an assessment.
Yes. Family members and friends can call with questions at any time. Treatment itself depends on the person who would be attending, but a call from a loved one can start the conversation.
River Rocks Recovery accepts Medicaid and most major commercial insurance plans. Coverage depends on your plan’s benefits for PHP or IOP, so verifying your benefits before admission gives the clearest answer.
Your assessment guides the recommendation. PHP is the more structured level, and IOP offers several sessions a week with more room for work, school, or family. Your needs can change over time, and your treatment team can adjust your level of care.
Outpatient care lets you return home each evening, and our night IOP option exists for people with daytime commitments. How much time you can keep for work depends on the program and your schedule, so ask admissions about specific hours.
