Established in the 1950s when the first Alcoholics Anonymous group in Arkansas was formed, Recovery Centers of Arkansas (RCA) has a longstanding presence in the recovery community. The organization is guided by a mission to “enable individuals to live free from the abuse of alcohol and/or other drugs by providing treatment programming and other professional services within an atmosphere of dignity and respect.” RCA offers a wide range of programs, including residential, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, gender-specific sober living, and sober living apartments. A Comprehensive Residential Program The Cottage at Sibley Hole is Recovery Centers of Arkansas’ newest addition to its women-only sober living facilities, adding 16 new beds and combining comfortable accommodations with comprehensive services. RCA’s commitment to providing housing is rooted in the positive outcomes these programs have shown. Specifically designed for women transitioning from rehabilitation, long-term housing has proven highly effective in maintaining recovery post-treatment. Residents at The Cottage are in the outpatient phase of their recovery, where they are employed, participate in local support groups, and fully embrace their new, sober lives. Serving Veterans Additionally, RCA has a contractual arrangement with the Veterans Affairs department to provide supplemental support services to veterans actively undergoing treatment at a nearby Veterans Hospital. These services, crucial during non-treatment hours, include supervised housing, nutritious meals, transportation, and laundry facilities, all vital for fostering a supportive environment that enhances the primary treatment received at the hospital.
