Life can be challenging, especially when dealing with both addiction and mental health struggles. But no one has to go through it alone. At Social Model Recovery Systems, we’ve been guiding individuals and families toward recovery since 1986.
In Covina, CA, we offer two outpatient programs designed to support people with co-occurring disorders (both substance use and mental health challenges): River Community Covina and River Community Wellness Center. Each program provides a safe space to heal, rebuild, and move forward.
River Community Covina
For those who need a highly structured environment, River Community Covina offers day treatment services six days a week. This program helps participants create healthy routines, build coping skills, and receive therapy in a supportive setting.
What we offer:
✔ Group therapy and individual counseling to address personal struggles.
✔ Social and recreational activities that encourage connection and healing.
✔ Flexible outpatient services for those reintegrating into the community.
✔ Continuing care and alumni groups to ensure long-term success.
River Community Wellness Center
Recovery isn’t just about stopping substance use—it’s about building a life you love. At River Community Wellness Center, we focus on helping individuals gain independence and confidence in their journey.
Here, we help participants:
✔ Set personal goals and create a wellness plan tailored to their future.
✔ Learn practical life skills like budgeting, time management, and housing stability.
✔ Manage mental health symptoms and recognize triggers before they become setbacks.
✔ Engage in community outings to rebuild social connections.
Our approach encourages self-empowerment, so participants can transition from being “clients” in a treatment program to thriving, independent members of society.
Medication Support & Mental Health Care
Medication support is provided by a psychiatrist, licensed vocational nurse (LVN), and psychiatric technician (PT). The psychiatrist manages medication treatment and education, while the LVN and PT offer support, schedule appointments, and run a support group. They also help with concerns and communicate with the psychiatrist as needed.
Evidence-Based Care & Spanish-Speaking Staff
We use evidence-based treatments to make sure everyone gets the best care possible. Our trained staff offers:
✔ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – A therapy that helps process trauma.
✔ Seeking Safety – A proven approach for PTSD and addiction recovery.
✔ Recovery Incentive Contingency Management (RICM) – The primary focus of the Recovery Incentive Contingency Management Treatment Program is to support the participants in abstaining from stimulants. CM is one of the only evidence- based behavioral interventions shown to be effective in treating stimulant use disorder. Contingency management provides incentives for meeting treatment goals, and rewarding individuals for changing their behavior.
✔ Parenting Groups – Helping parents strengthen family bonds while in recovery.
✔ Drug Testing / Urine Analysis – To help participants remain accountable and monitor their progress toward recovery.
We also have Spanish-speaking staff in both programs, ensuring language is never a barrier to getting help.
You’re Not Alone—We’re Here to Help
