About RiverValley Behavioral Health – Owensboro

RiverValley Behavioral Health is a community mental health center run by River Valley & Affiliates. They’re located in Owensboro, Kentucky.

They provide outpatient addiction therapy, crisis intervention, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and medication management. Outpatient treatment for substance use includes individual and group counseling sessions. If higher levels of care are necessary, they can refer you to one of their residential treatment centers for 24/7 support.

MAT is a type of addiction treatment that uses medication to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. When combined with substance use counseling, this is a life changing type of treatment that helps you detox safely and avoid relapse.

One specialty addiction program offered is ROSES for Moms. This program is designed to support expecting and current mothers as they navigate the challenges of motherhood while experiencing substance use disorder. Some of their services include screening and assessment to determine the best treatment plan for your situation, substance prevention and parenting education, and support for family reunification. RiverValley is dedicated to helping mothers and their families find a way out of substance use, so they also help them access job development opportunities, community resources, and housing assistance.

The staff at RiverValley Behavioral Health are compassionate and experienced. Their goal is to create a safe and stabilizing space for you to heal in, so that you’re able to pour back into your community. They help you make decisions that benefit you and your loved ones in the long run, freeing you from addiction and mental health concerns.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
