Events and Media
At River Oaks, we pride ourselves on being a pillar of the community as well as a willing participant in important events around the city, county, and country. Our upcoming events are a great way to learn more about how we’re getting involved with the community. They are also a great way to get in touch with us.
Addiction Talk – Facebook Live Show
“Addiction Talk” is a Facebook Live show dedicated to sharing the personal stories of celebrities, influencers and everyday people impacted by addiction. Through sharing our personal journeys, we break the stigma and shame of addiction, and provide hope and inspiration for the millions of Americans battling this disease every day – because we recover together.
