DUI Programs and Addiction Recovery in Riverside and Lake Elsinore
Maybe the court sent you. Maybe you finally decided it was time. Either way, the people here have helped someone in your exact situation before, and they can help you.
You Are Not The First Person The Court Sent Here
Most people who call us did not plan to. A lot of them were told to be here. A DUI, a court order, a condition of parole, or a family member who finally said enough. If that is you, you are not alone, and you are not the first.
We have been doing this work in Riverside County since 1985. In four decades we have sat across from thousands of people who felt exactly the way you feel right now. Embarrassed. Frustrated. Not sure any of this changes anything. You do not have to pretend otherwise with us.
Here is what forty years teaches you. The people who get the most out of this are not the ones who show up certain. They are the ones who show up honest. That is all we ask of you to start.
Whatever Brought You In, We Have Treated It Before
People come in convinced their situation is the one nobody has seen before. It rarely is. What you have been using has a hold that is medical, not moral, and we work with the full range of it, along with the pressures underneath that usually keep it going.
Alcohol Addiction
Opioid Addiction
From prescription painkillers that started with a real injury to heroin, we understand the hold and we help you take it apart one step at a time.
Stimulant Addiction
For meth and cocaine use that runs alongside the pressure or the drinking, we get at the pattern underneath instead of just the substance.
Co-Occurring Support
When substance use is tangled up with depression, anxiety, anger, or old trauma, treating one and ignoring the other is why it did not hold before.
Anyone Can Sell You A Certificate. We Do The Part That Keeps You Out Of Court.
You can find a cheaper class online. We will be straight with you about that. If all you need is a certificate to hand a court, plenty of websites will sell you one.
What those sites will not do is make sure you never sit in that courtroom again. We are a real recovery organization, certified by the California Department of Health Care Services, with counselors who do this every day. Our DUI programs are court-approved and accepted, so your requirement gets met. And the people running those programs are the same people who run our counseling and recovery services. If something under the surface needs attention, it has somewhere to go.
That is the difference between a checkout page and an organization that has done this for forty years. You leave with the paperwork you came for, and a real shot at not needing us again.
Courts, Families, And Employers Have Trusted Us Since 1985
Four Decades of Trust
Since 1985, Riverside Recovery Resources has grown from a six-bed program into one of Riverside County’s largest non-profit recovery providers.
Trusted by Many
Courts refer people to us because our completion is accepted, while families and professionals trust us because they have seen our approach work.
Non-Profit Focus
No investors own us, and no one takes a cut when you enroll. Our programs exist to strengthen individuals, families, and communities.
Your Needs First
Every recovery plan is designed around your needs and goals, not around what pays. Our focus remains on creating meaningful, lasting recovery.
A Team Built For Exactly What You Are Facing
Walk into either office and you will not find general staff guessing their way through your case. You will find people whose whole job is the thing you came in for. Our DUI programs run under dedicated DUI supervisors and certified DUI counselors at both offices. Our reentry work is led by a STOP program manager and counselors who understand what coming back after a conviction takes. Our intensive outpatient counseling is run by trained counselors, with peer support specialists working alongside them, people who have lived some version of your story and came back to help.
That is what forty years lets you build. Not one person wearing every hat, but a specialist for every situation the court, or life, hands you.
Whatever The Court Ordered, We Run It
Not sure where you belong? That is normal, and we will help you find the right starting point. You move through your program with the same people the whole way, in person at Riverside or Lake Elsinore, or online when in-person does not fit your life, in English or Spanish.
DUI Classes
Court-approved and accepted, from Wet Reckless through the eighteen-month program. You meet your requirement, and you leave understanding what put you there.
Outpatient Counseling
Real support without stepping away from work or family. For people who need to keep their life running while they do the work.
Intensive Outpatient
More structure for people who need it to stay on track, without moving into a facility. Full clinical support that still fits around your week.
Anger Management
For a court requirement or for anyone tired of the same fights costing them the same things. Practical skills that hold up when it counts.
Batterer's Intervention Program
Court-approved and confidential, run by counselors who handle this work with directness and without judgment.
Life Skills
The everyday parts of a stable life, from holding a job to rebuilding trust at home. The pieces that keep recovery standing after the program ends.
STOP Reentry Program
For people coming back into the community after a conviction. Statewide reentry support built to help you reintegrate and stay out for good.
No One Here Is Going To Look Down On You
The fastest way to lose someone in recovery is to make them feel small. We do not do that here. You will not be treated like a case number, a criminal, or a lost cause. You will be treated like a person dealing with something hard and doing something about it.
You’ll Be Treated Like a Person
You will never be treated like a case number, a criminal, or a lost cause. We understand that recovery can be difficult, and we respect the courage it takes to ask for help and take the first step toward change.
A Place Without Judgment
When you are not being judged, you can stop worrying about what others think and focus on getting better. Our supportive environment gives you the space to be honest, feel understood, and put your energy into recovery.
