Riverwood Center Berrien Mental Health Authority

About the Facility

The early intervention group helps those who aren’t sure about treatment but have an external requirement to get help, perhaps from their family, the legal system, or an employer. The program includes education about the impact of addiction and how recovery can improve clients’ lives. The group meets weekly for eight weeks and is designed to encourage clients to seek more intensive treatment.

The IOP helps participants address recovery issues and begin their journey to sobriety. The program meets three hours a day for three days per week, and clients can choose morning or evening sessions. Services in the IOP includes individual and group therapy, peer support, life-skills training, and relapse prevention.

There is also an aftercare program. Weekly group meetings allow those with 30+ days of sobriety to continue to have support and avoid relapse. Clients may also be connected to 12-step and other recovery support groups and community resources such as housing and employment support.

Riverwood Center is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

Riverwood Center may work with major insurance providers, such as Anthem, ComPsych, Magellan Health and others. Contact your insurance provider to verify coverage because out of network benefits can vary.

Levels of Care

Intervention Services

Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients receiving care in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) typically have completed inpatient treatment, but some choose to enroll in IOP immediately following detox. Intensive outpatient rehabs offer high-level support for clients in early recovery and those at an increased risk of relapse. Most programs provide between nine and 20 hours of treatment per week, with services ranging from addiction counseling to recovery education to medication assisted treatment (MAT). Holistic therapies, such as acupuncture, are common.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
