About Us

River Ridge Treatment Centers’ fundamental objective is to help the chemically dependent person achieve freedom from chemical dependency. Dedicated and skilled specialists in dependency counseling help the chemically dependent individual make the transition from drug and alcohol abuse to structured sobriety and recovery.

River Ridge has found that by offering both day and evening programs on an outpatient basis, treatment is more convenient and less costly for the client. The dependent person continues with their day-to-day responsibilities of work and community commitments.

At River Ridge, each client is treated as an individual and treatment focuses on a client’s personal recovery needs. River Ridge provides treatment not only to the dependent client but also to those persons who are close to the client. We believe that when an individual is experiencing drug or alcohol problems, those who have a close relationship with the individual will also suffer. It is our belief that chemical dependency is a family illness affecting all concerned persons.

The principles of traditional 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous continue to be utilized in the treatment program at River Ridge, in conjunction with elements from more contemporary therapeutic approaches such as skill building focus groups, Cognitive Skills Training and Rational Emotive Therapy (R.E.T.), which develop internal motivation and teach the client to replace problematic thinking patterns with new and positive thoughts and feelings.

River Ridge offers a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of each client. Treatment is structured and focused on the individual. Participation in group sessions, individual sessions, family conferences, focus groups and Continuing Care groups help the chemically dependent person not only recover, but to continue to heal.
