ABOUT RIVER CENTRE CLINIC
Established in 1996 in Toledo, Ohio, the River Centre Clinic (RCC) offers treatment for individuals facing eating disorders. Situated on the banks of the Ottawa River in a historic suburb, RCC provides a range of outpatient programs for adults and adolescents, as well as residential care exclusively for adolescents.
RCC is capable of accommodating individuals with special needs such as language, hearing, vision, etc.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
RCC provides the most comprehensive levels of care in the form of a partial hospitalization program (PHP) for adults and residential care for adolescents. These programs have been chosen as they are the most cost-effective options for the respective demographics.
The PHP involves 35 hours of programming per week, with seven hours per day, five days a week. It includes optional dorm-style residential facilities and features weigh-ins, supervised meals, nutritional counseling, group sessions, and joint meal preparation.
In the adolescent residential program, most clients reside at the facility while those who live nearby may commute. Adolescents spend 7 to 12 hours per day in programming and receive similar services to adults. Additionally, they receive educational services such as tutoring, coordination with school, coaching on daily life skills, and recreational activities.
To treat eating disorders, RCC adopts a cognitive behavioral approach and offers counseling and therapy in individual, group, and family settings. The program focuses on meal planning, symptom reduction skills, relapse prevention, and interpersonal skills such as social skills, assertiveness, stress management, and emotional skills. Upon admission, discharge planning begins and each client receives an aftercare plan which may include aftercare groups, relapse prevention sessions, referrals, or follow-up phone sessions.
RRC also offers an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for binge eating disorder. Participants attend between 10 and 20 hours of programming per week. Additionally, there are general outpatient care options for adults and adolescents, often offered as a follow-up to the PHP or residential program. Outpatient services are also available for young children struggling with eating problems and their families.
