Treatment Program
River Community in Azusa, CA is a unique treatment program providing recovery services to people with concurrent mental health and chemical dependency problems. Helping these people find their personal road to recovery is the primary goal of the program.
Our innovative approach offers hope and recovery. Comprehensive programming includes daily group and individual therapy as well as participation in Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and other self-help groups.
All recovery services address the psychological, physical, social, and spiritual needs of each person. The highly structured daily schedule focuses on both activities which promote abstinence from alcohol and non-prescribed medications and recovery from major mental health problems.
Abstinence from alcohol, drugs, and non-prescribed medications is a requirement for those beginning a new life at River Community. Residents learn that sound mental health and recovery from alcohol or drug use is a lifelong process.
Individuals develop coping skills by finding their voice within the community. As they develop a sense of respect for themselves, residents develop new attitudes and increasingly responsible behavior. River Community is a loving and effective alternative for people whose multiple needs have not been met with traditional recovery programs.
