About Recovery Centers of America
RCA at Raritan Bay provides evidence-based treatment infused with genuine compassion, assisting individuals on their journey to recover from substance use disorders and concurrent mental health issues. The center offers a comprehensive range of services, encompassing medically supervised detoxification, residential treatment programs, and intensive outpatient care (both in-person and online). There are specialized programs catering to those struggling with gambling addiction and tailored support for military personnel and first responders.
The facility operates on six fundamental principles deemed critical for clients to achieve lasting recovery. These include the use of medications aimed at curbing cravings and preventing relapse, daily 12-step meetings fostering peer support, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) training to help manage emotional challenges. Engagement with family members, robust alumni networks post-discharge, and treatment guided by ongoing progress evaluations contribute greatly to enhancing the recovery experience.
RCA at Raritan Bay is set in a serene and modern environment that promotes healing and recovery. Clients have access to semi-private accommodations and calming outdoor areas that foster relaxation and connection. Opportunities for physical activity, such as a fitness center, yoga sessions, and basketball, promote overall wellness. Recreational offerings like ping pong, game nights, karaoke, and a library create spaces for leisure and enjoyment. Additionally, optional spiritual and faith-based services can be tailored to suit each client's unique needs.
The alumni program at RCA ensures that clients remain encouraged and supported even after they finish treatment. It organizes ongoing recovery meetings and social events, such as movies, sports outings, and picnics, which facilitate reconnections among alumni. Many of these gatherings encourage alumni to bring along family and friends, ensuring that their support systems are actively involved in the recovery process.
