I have worked at RCA over two years. Being in recovery myself, RCA is hands down the most accommodating and nicest rehab that I ever personally went to myself. I am honored and very grateful that I am able to help save lives everyday at RCA.
Amazing staff. Healing atmosphere. I have been to many treatment facilities and this one was the key for me.
