We understand that addiction affects not only the individual but also their loved ones. At River Oaks, we believe that family involvement in the recovery process plays a crucial role. Whenever possible, we encourage family visits during treatment to foster connection, understanding, and support.

Visiting Your Loved One

During your loved one’s treatment, we will work with you to plan a visit. Your loved one’s treatment team will provide you with all of the information you need to schedule your visit to River Oaks. Visitation privileges begin 7 days after the start of treatment.

*Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some family programs may not be operational. Visits may be delayed or may involve additional precautions. 

Family Education

The family program at River Oaks is an educational program aimed at helping loved ones understand substance abuse, brain interactions with substance abuse, and psychosocial disorders with substance abuse.

Family education takes place weekly on Thursday evenings for patients and families for whom it is appropriate. Following family programming is a family outing, for those patients who are eligible to leave campus. Children are permitted based on age and appropriateness.

Family Therapy

Virtual or in-person family sessions may be offered if and when appropriate for patients and families.
