Hospital-Based Outpatient Substance Use Treatment

Our hospital outpatient clinic offers a unique bridge between inpatient and community-based care. Patients who have completed acute hospitalization or those with complex medical and psychiatric needs can receive continued treatment with easy access to hospital resources when needed.

Services include individual and group counseling, psychiatric medication management, and comprehensive treatment planning. Our providers specialize in treating co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, ensuring both conditions are addressed in an integrated manner.

The clinic provides structured programs, including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient services, for patients who need more support than standard outpatient care but don’t require 24-hour supervision.

Our multidisciplinary team includes psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, and support staff who work together to deliver coordinated care. Treatment plans are individualized and regularly reviewed to ensure they continue to meet your evolving needs.

The RVBH Hospital Outpatient Clinic is part of the broader RiverValley Behavioral Health Hospital campus, which also provides children’s services. For information about children’s and adolescent hospital services, visit our Children’s Hospital page.
