Riverside Recovery Center Spokane

Riverside Recovery Center offers two structured outpatient levels of care designed to meet clients where they are in their recovery. The standard Outpatient Program provides flexible scheduling for individuals who can maintain recovery with less intensive clinical contact. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) delivers a more structured clinical experience, appropriate for those stepping down from residential treatment or who need greater support than a basic outpatient schedule provides.

For individuals who require residential or inpatient placement, Riverside offers referral services to connect clients with the appropriate level of care — a practical feature for families navigating a system where the right fit matters. Self-referrals are accepted, lowering the barrier to entry for those ready to begin substance abuse treatment without waiting on a referral from another provider.

One of Riverside Recovery Center's most distinctive offerings is its formal aftercare program, available to clients completing IOP or inpatient treatment. Aftercare is where many recovery journeys solidify — and having a structured program in place at the same facility where treatment began reduces the gap between active treatment and independent recovery.

This continuity matters for families as well. Riverside explicitly serves family members alongside the individuals in treatment, recognizing that sustainable recovery depends on a wider support network. The combination of IOP, aftercare, and family inclusion reflects a recovery model focused on what comes after the initial program, not just during it.

Riverside's clinical framework centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured therapeutic method that helps clients examine the relationship between thoughts, behaviors, and substance use patterns. CBT is well-suited to outpatient settings because it equips clients with practical tools they can apply in daily life — between sessions and long after treatment ends.

Vivitrol Treatment is also available at Riverside, providing a medication-assisted pathway for clients whose recovery plan benefits from pharmacological support. Having both CBT and Vivitrol available within the same outpatient clinic means treatment teams can tailor an approach without referring clients out for medication management. Together, these two modalities form the backbone of Riverside's clinical programming.

Riverside Recovery Center serves a broad population in Spokane and the surrounding area. Adults in active treatment and adolescents in need of assessment and referral services are both within scope. Families are recognized as participants in the recovery process, not just bystanders — a framing that aligns with what research consistently shows about long-term recovery outcomes.

The center also provides employer support services, acknowledging that recovery intersects with professional life in ways that require practical coordination. Notably, Riverside serves individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing — an accessibility commitment that is not universal among outpatient addiction treatment programs in eastern Washington. Payment options include Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, and a sliding scale, making the recovery center a viable choice for clients across a range of financial situations.
