Specialization

Dual Diagnosis/Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
These two terms describe a person who is not only addicted to drugs or alcohol, but also has a mental or emotional illness, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc. Facilities that treat patients with dual-diagnosis or co-occurring disorders provide psychiatric treatment in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation services.
Individualized Treatment
Some facilities have an addiction treatment protocol that all patients or clients are expected to follow, while others customize or individualize treatment based on a person’s unique needs and circumstances. Factors that may affect treatment decisions include age, lifestyle, medical conditions, type of drug, religious beliefs, etc.
Aftercare Support
Addiction recovery does not end with discharge after completing a rehab program. Facilities that offer aftercare planning and/or support work with patients to ensure sustainable recovery by helping to plan and make arrangements for transitional or sober living, help with housing, vocational counseling, etc.
RESCU: for First Responders & Military
Our private substance abuse rehabilitation program can help you get mentally and physically healthy again so you can get back to your calling to help others in their time of crisis. At Recovery Centers of America (RCA), we strive to be the preferred residential treatment facility for first responders struggling with addiction. Whether you’re an active or former law enforcement officer, firefighter, correctional officer, EMT/paramedic, or veteran––we can help you manage the ripple effects of substance abuse. We can help advocate on your behalf with your union, department, and employee assistance program if you choose to include them in your treatment.

PRISE: for patients who have relapsed
Your journey to lasting recovery is unique, and relapse may be a part of that journey. While you may view relapse as a failure, at Recovery Centers of America we recognize that it can be a part of many people’s eventual path to recovery and we don’t see your struggle as a sign of failure. We encourage you to come back for treatment and get back on the right path. The progress you have made in the past is important and together we can build on that foundation to develop the path by which you can achieve lasting recovery. Recovery Centers of America supports every attempt with optimism, support and specialized care. The PRISE program at Recovery Centers of America is one of a kind and life changing.
