About River City Recovery Center Altua: Programs, Staff & Mission

Located on 15 peaceful acres in Herald, California, River City Recovery Center’s Altua Village provides 24-hour residential treatment for adults living with substance use disorders. Guided by a mission to support emotional, physical, and behavioral healing, this ranch-style campus offers gender-specific programs and a low client-to-counselor ratio to ensure each participant receives focused, compassionate care rooted in structure, dignity, and hope.
The center combines evidence-based therapies with daily routines to promote long-term wellness. Clients participate in individual counseling, process groups, life skills education, and recovery meetings. Licensed and certified staff tailor treatment to each person’s needs, while a senior resident program gives participants the chance to deepen their recovery skills and ease the transition toward independence with mentorship and ongoing support.
Clients reside in gender-specific shared accommodations across multiple homes designed to foster connection and stability. The serene natural environment supports reflection and healing, while scheduled family visits help rebuild vital support systems.
