While often initially met with #stigma & judgment, "When we take the time to truly listen to pregnant women using #opioids, we [may] uncover complicated narratives involving trauma & violence." @usatoday @stephenwpatrick https://t.co/sMdrIzmV7t
A cohort study of 110, 285 pregnant women found statistically significant regional variations in #opioid use disorder diagnosis & receipt of #treatment. Why aren't we demanding care for these women & their unborn babies? #Stigma https://t.co/BaMwbK7B5C
#Alcohol, #drugs & suicide killed more than twice as many people in 2017 as they did in 1999. The #opioid crisis & loneliness/despair/lack of belonging drive this. #Treatment must address what drives the behavior. @NYTimes https://t.co/pFXR39fZED
Someone just died from a drug overdose—8 mins from now, someone else will die. @realDonaldTrump this is reality.

The level of professionalism at this recovery center is Amazing. This is a first class facility. The staff is eager to address any needs or concerns that may arise during treatment and are always positive and upbeat. The program itself is very comprehensive and well planned out with plenty of support. If you need assistance then give them a call and you will see what I am talking about.

Bracebridge Hall is a beautiful and serene place for anyone looking to start their recovery journey. The staff is top notch and the amount of love and compassion they show to help is indescribable.

I am in awe daily by the care provided by the staff at RCA Bracebridge Hall. Each staff person has genuine concern for the well being of every patient that walks into the facility. All staff work tirelessly to insure a successful recovery for everyone that walks through the door. The care doesn't stop when a patient leaves. They walk in a patient and leave a part of a family. I am blessed to work along side such an amazing group of people.

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.

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.
