Do you provide family counseling sessions?
Yes, we do provide family counseling and it is very important to the treatment process. We have family counseling sessions that are facilitated by one of our licensed counselors. We have two types of family counseling. The first is face to face counseling sessions with family members or loved ones. The second is via the phone for family members or loved ones that are out of state. Many family members cannot fly to our center as often as they would like so we offer family sessions via the phone. We welcome family involvement as much is possible. We will work with your schedule to accommodate the best opportunity for family counseling sessions.
What does holistic mean?
In simple terms, holistic refers to the whole – or complete – system. Rather than focusing on just the physical body, or just the mind, or just the spirit, holistic treatment centers, like The River Source, emphasize treating the whole human being – mind, body, and spirit.
What does naturopathic mean?
Naturopathy is founded on the premise that people are naturally healthy, and that healing can occur through removing obstacles to a cure and by stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities. The foundations of health in natural medicine are diet, nutrition, homeopathy, physical manipulation, stress management, and exercise. Naturopathic medical doctors believe in treating the “whole person” (mind, body, spirit) and emphasize preventative care. Naturopaths often recommend changes in diet and lifestyle to enhance health.

However, family members may contact staff to get updates on patient’s progress, if the patient has signed the appropriate ‘release of information’ papers. After seven days (ten days for returning patients), patients are allowed visitors Saturday and Sunday from 10:00am to 4:00pm.

FAQ’s About Success at The River Source:
What is your success rate?
In 2014 we had a Success Rate of 82%
Success rates are figured in many ways. At The River Source, our success rate tends to be higher than average due to our focus on healing the whole person rather than just the stopping of the substance abuse. We guide our patients through the holistic 12-step approach and help them create a Continuing Care plan designed to make their recovery the # 1 priority. We maintain contact with our patients for up to a year following transition and offer suggestions where needed. A very large percentage of our patients maintain their sobriety as long as they continue to work a program of recovery. As with any treatment program, there are those who are not ‘ready’ to change. In these situations, provided our patients have successfully transitioned from our program, there are discounted rates to return to The River Source. In addition, our 90 day inpatient or Full Continuum of Care guarantee means that there is absolutely no additional treatment cost to return to The River Source for a 30 day individualized recovery treatment plan.
