Riverwoods Behavioral Health System is committed to providing a full continuum of treatment options to meet the needs of all patients, allowing them to be admitted to any level of care and make a seamless transition through our levels of care as they recover. In order to do this effectively, the caring and compassionate staff at RiverWoods spends a great deal of time getting to know each and every patient who walks through our doors.

We conduct comprehensive evaluations and get to know each of our patients on a personal basis. It's only then that our treatment teams will be able to determine what treatment options will work well for each individual's situation and difficulties.

Riverwoods only uses empirically-validated treatments that are backed by scientific support to ensure that they are effective. Our goal is always to return each person who comes to us to their highest level of functioning so that you can return to your community and enjoy life. We're also highly committed to giving back to our community to help others outside our treatment system through education, donations, participation in community charity events, interaction and education in the school systems, work with low-income families and board involvement with other organizations. This allows us to gain the most up-to-date information about conditions affecting the community we are a part of. Our main commitment is to do right by each and every patient who comes to us for help.

Family Involvement

Riverwoods knows that recovery from mental disorders and chemical dependency can be greatly successful, especially if family is involved. We attempt to include family and loved ones into each patient's therapeutic plan of care to allow greater insight into their loved ones condition and recovery. Family sessions are used to allow family members to share their feelings about their loved ones' challenges and are connected to available community resources to further their own healing.
