About Recovery Centers of America

In 2013, Recovery Centers of America (RCA) announced a goal: Save one million lives from the disease of addiction. We're working fast and hard to fulfill that promise, with over 11 facilities that offer evidence-based inpatient, outpatient, and medication-assisted treatment 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We tailor our treatment for each patient and offer specialized programs for patients with trauma, multiple recurrences, older adults, first responders, and more. We believe in the power of local treatment, because families are a huge part of the treatment and recovery process at RCA. Our family program rebuilds, restores, or strengthens family relationships. Our curriculum, resources, and evidence-based care help patients not just achieve recovery, but maintain it for life.
