The River Rock program is incredible. The clinicians and staff are knowledgeable, compassionate and passionate about what they do. I attended the IOP program a year ago. My experience there was so impactful on my overall wellbeing. I now work in mental health myself and confidently refer patients their way knowing they will be supported through their mental health and sobriety journey.

I want to add a personal review of River Rock under my name because I’m truly happy of the program and what it has done for my family. I don’t necessarily identify as being an alcoholic but used substances as a way to cope with bad times. Through the intensive outpatient therapy program River Rock provides I was able to gain a clear understanding of how to navigate problems at home. I went through the process a few years ago and then my husband felt compelled (thankfully) to do so after. Since then, we’ve been able to navigate life in a more healthy manner. They use a multi-faceted approach of different therapies including CBT, DBT, life coaching, adventure therapy, group sessions and one-on-one therapy to make sure that people get the help they need! We’ve been able to create a more holistic life that benefits us and use the tools given to get through hard times. We are more connected and practice self care including cold plunges and are building a space to install a sauna at home. Communication is better, my husband has been alcohol free for over a year and a half and we are able to navigate life much better. If you are questioning getting help in any capacity, I would recommend at least reaching out to River Rock. There is no shame in wanting to take steps to achieving a more healthy outlook on life. They have the resources to meet you where you are. With love, Kim.

Forgive the lengthy review, but even finding a fraction of what I found here at River Rock could change the trajectory of your life. I am incredibly grateful for the team at River Rock and the novel, individualized whole human approach they take. They teach a variety of therapeutic modalities that address different aspects of a person. For instance, CBT helped me better cope with my thoughts and reduce negative thinking patterns, while DBT improved my emotional regulation, coping skills, and interpersonal relationships. IFS gave me a deeper understanding of myself, and somatic trauma therapy allowed me to address trauma stored in my body through the autonomic nervous system, helping me reprocess the emotional response tied to it. Beyond therapy, River Rock emphasizes essential aspects of life, such as evidence-based practices to change habits and improve sleep, nutrition, exercise, adventure-based recovery, breath work, and encourages exposure to outside recovery communities. Their approach is not one-size-fits-all because everyone’s recovery is unique. What I was curious about and what worked for me might not be the same thing that will work for someone else, and the team at River Rock respects and nurtures this individuality. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive and comprehensive environment for my recovery journey.

I came here because they offered a wide array of options. Recovery is not a one size fits all. River rock is exceptionally good at recognizing that fact and exposing you to many different ways that you can lead a life in recovery. Every single person in that office cares deeply for the clients. They now when you need encouragement, a push, or just a place to hang out. It always has been a very warm and welcoming place for me to go. River rock has helped change my life!!
