Ranked #6 in Maryland on Newsweek’s 2024 list of America’s Best Addiction Centers, RCA at Capital Region delivers clinically proven care with signature compassion. They treat substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions through a full continuum of services, including medically monitored detox, residential, and day treatment and intensive outpatient programs (in-person or virtual). They also offer their Thrive program, providing specialized support for members of the LGBTQ+ community. Navigate Recovery with 6 Guiding Principles RCA applies six core tenets they’ve determined essential for every client to achieve sustained recovery. These include medications to reduce cravings and prevent relapse, daily 12-step meetings for peer support, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training to manage emotions and cope with challenges. Clients also benefit from family involvement, strong alumni connections after discharge, and care that’s guided by real-time progress tracking to adapt and improve treatment along the way. Recharge in a Restorative Setting Just outside the Capital Beltway with direct access to Virginia and D.C., RCA’s Capital Region campus offers clients a modern, peaceful space to focus on recovery. Semi-private rooms provide comfort and quiet, while outdoor gazebos, picnic tables, and lawn games encourage connection. Clients can take advantage of the on-site gym and rec center, creating a balanced environment that blends rest, movement, and meaningful community during treatment. Stay Supported with a Thriving Alumni Network RCA’s alumni association helps clients stay supported and inspired long after treatment ends. They offer ongoing recovery meetings and sober events like movies, sports, and picnics to bring alumni together for fun, fellowship, and connection. Many events allow alumni to invite family and friends, so their support system can play an active role in recovery.
