Questions people ask about Riverwalk Recovery Center
Is Riverwalk Recovery Center residential or day treatment?
They offer outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Chattanooga has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Riverwalk Recovery Center offer a detox?
They provide detox for 3 substances: opioids, cocaine and methamphetamines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Chattanooga has 8 other centers.
Is Riverwalk Recovery Center an option for a veteran?
They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Chattanooga it may be mixed.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at Riverwalk Recovery Center?
Yes, they treat people in Spanish. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Chattanooga has 8 other centers to ask the same of.
How many other options are in this area?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Chattanooga, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Does Riverwalk Recovery Center do telehealth?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Chattanooga.
What does the court need from the program?
Being sent rather than choosing to go changes the paperwork more than it changes the treatment. The court usually specifies a level of care or a number of hours, and that narrows which programs qualify. Ask who signs the completion paperwork and how long it takes.
Is the first call an assessment?
Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.
