Stay Connected with RCA
Continue to Grow with Our Alumni Association
A great deal of growth takes place during treatment, and that growth continues upon leaving treatment. Recovery is ongoing, one day at a time, and having the Alumni Association and a support system to lean on is vital to your success. We offer opportunities for you to stay connected and continue growing on your journey to recovery.

Get Involved with RCA's Alumni Program
The RCA Alumni Association exists to provide you with a safe and encouraging environment. We are committed to supporting your recovery journey by helping you find ways to:
Succeed
The time you spend with us in our programs is only the beginning of a lifelong recovery journey. Getting involved with a community of others who have shared similar experiences in life and at RCA can increase your chances of achieving successful recovery. The science of addiction tells us just how important it is for individuals in recovery to have access to a support network, especially when they’re feeling overwhelmed or might be at risk of relapse.
Our responsive Alumni Association is dedicated to ensuring you feel supported when you need it most. As an alum of Recovery Centers of America, our alumni coordinators will personally check in with you after leaving treatment to see how you’re doing and ensure you have everything needed to be successful in your recovery.
Belong
You join the RCA family from day one. While you are in our care, your focus is on achieving sobriety and recovery, surrounded by a warm and supportive community of peers and staff. Upon leaving treatment, it is important you know this community stays with you. Active addiction is isolating, recovery does not need to be. When you come to RCA, you leave a part of our family—you will never be alone.
To help foster that sense of belonging, the Alumni Association provides many opportunities to connect in meaningful ways. From daily recovery meetings to monthly events to support groups on Facebook—a sober community is always ready and waiting to welcome you.
Serve
We know that serving others and finding fulfillment in recovery often go together. Therefore, one of our goals is to help you find a commitment that fits your life. The benefits of dedicating your time to helping others navigate recovery are endless.
Extending a friendly hand to a peer can provide you with a sense of purpose, belonging, and exceptional gratitude. Making commitments in your recovery are not only promises that you make to yourself but promises you make to others. Knowing someone is relying on your act of service is one of the most beneficial ways to maintain accountability in your recovery.
The Alumni Association offers numerous ways to volunteer and be of service, including community volunteerism such as beach cleanups and toy drives, sharing your story with current patients, and chairing 12-Step meetings. Reach out to your Alumni Coordinator to get involved
