I can not thank the staff members at RCA ,Brace Bridge Hall, enough for making my experience a pleasant one. The Nurse's and RSS'S are patient and caring.The Cooks and Kitchen staff works very hard to provide you with excellent meals.The Counselor's and Group facilitator's are on top of their craft. Not only is the facility (Mansion) beautiful and well maintained by housekeeping and maintenance. What's more beautiful is the community and how everyone bonds together to help one another. If I had one thing to change, it would be more gym time 🙂 Thank you for everything!

Bracebridge was the best rehab I have been to. The staff was very helpful as soon as I came through the door they have a wonderful community of people which made it very easy to open up and help identify my problems of why I drink and use drugs. The staff is always willing to lend a ear or give imformation on how to cope with ur problems. They have a wonderful facility that makes u feel very comfortable and welcomed the food is fanaminal. I would recommend this treatment center to anybody struggling with an addition they really get right to the problem and focus on the individual.

RCA saved my life! This place was the most welcoming and genuine place I have ever been to and unfortunately I have been in many facilities. From the RSS’s to the kitchen staff to the nurses, every single person was amazing! Most of all from my experience the one on one therapy with the unbelievable staff of therapists RCA has was literally life changing! I am taking what they all have taught me and moving forward with my life. If your reading this and you are struggling or contemplating treatment.....don’t waste another minute playing with this addiction.....call RCA and they will pick you up TODAY! God bless you RCA....you have changed my life!

This place has truly saved my life. I came here completely broken. Every single staff member took the time to help me whenever I needed it. Michael is an amazing therapist. I was dealing with a lot of physical issues when I got here. I messed my leg up due to a heroin overdose. All of my medical needs were met. My second day here I had to go to the hospital because of my leg. I went outside to smoke, thinking the worse about my situation. Kelsey and Ashley sat outside with me calming me down. That was the hope shot I needed to continue my treatment. I will forever be grateful for this place.

I was here for a clinical experience for nursing school. Absolutely beautiful facility and very dedicated staff. The main complaint for clients there was that the focus groups held were not always the most helpful or entertaining. The staff was aware of this issue and it was impressive to see them work together to figure out how to correct the problem. I would highly recommend this facility. It was a pleasure to get to see it for a day.

This facility is located in a beautiful setting on the water. The staff especially Michael, primary therapist exceeded my expectations. My loved one was in his class every day. Alvin, Albert, Sarah, and Herb were also great. Their genuine concern is greatly appreciated. The kitchen staff and everyone else were helpful and courteous.
