RiverWoods Behavioral Health System

RiverWoods Behavioral Health System provides approximately 10-day residential treatment programs designed for individuals beginning their recovery journey. The hospital-based setting offers 24/7 medical supervision while addressing addiction to alcohol, opiates, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and barbiturates. This intensive residential approach allows individuals to focus entirely on their recovery within a structured environment.

The recovery center's walk-in policy removes barriers to treatment access, welcoming individuals when they're ready to commit to change. No referral is necessary, and the facility maintains continuous operations to accommodate urgent treatment needs. The Lodge At Riverwoods provides the residential setting where individuals engage in their initial recovery work before transitioning to aftercare support.

RiverWoods specializes in treating co-occurring disorders, addressing both substance abuse and mental health conditions simultaneously. The program treats individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia alongside their addiction. This integrated approach recognizes that lasting recovery often requires treating both conditions together rather than separately.

The multidisciplinary team coordinates care between addiction specialists and mental health professionals, creating comprehensive treatment plans for each individual. Self-harm behaviors and suicidal ideation receive immediate attention within the hospital setting, ensuring safety while building foundation skills for long-term recovery. This dual diagnosis expertise serves individuals whose previous treatment attempts may have addressed only one aspect of their condition.

The recovery center serves diverse populations including adolescents, adults, seniors, veterans, and women, tailoring approaches to meet specific demographic needs. Veterans receive specialized attention that acknowledges military-specific experiences and accepts TRICARE insurance. Women's services address gender-specific aspects of addiction and recovery within the supportive recovery community environment.

Adolescent programming recognizes that young people require different approaches than adult populations, while senior services accommodate age-related considerations in treatment planning. Each population receives care designed for their specific circumstances while benefiting from the overall recovery community atmosphere that characterizes the RiverWoods approach.

RiverWoods provides aftercare groups to support individuals as they transition from residential treatment back to their communities. These aftercare services help bridge the gap between intensive residential care and independent recovery, maintaining connection to the recovery community established during treatment. The approximately 10-day residential program serves as the foundation for longer-term recovery planning.

The aftercare groups offer ongoing support and accountability as individuals implement the skills learned during their residential treatment experience. This continuing care component recognizes that recovery extends far beyond the initial treatment period, requiring sustained support and community connection to maintain sobriety and mental health stability over time.
