Addiction medicine physician returns home to New Jersey to lead medical care in South Amboy.
Recovery Centers of America (RCA) at Raritan Bay announces today that Aaron Rodas, MD, has joined the facility as medical director. In this role, he will lead medical care for patients in treatment for substance use disorder.
Dr. Rodas is board-certified in internal medicine and addiction medicine. He trained as a resident physician at Lower Bucks Hospital in Pennsylvania, then completed an addiction medicine fellowship at Larkin Community Hospital in Hialeah, Florida. Much of his fellowship work focused on treating substance use disorder in the hospital setting. During his training, he also worked as a moonlighting physician with OnCall Solutions in Philadelphia.
At RCA at Raritan Bay, Dr. Rodas will work alongside clinical and nursing teams on the treatment floor, focusing on supporting staff and delivering consistent, patient-centered medical care. He also plans to help the facility expand access to treatment for more patients across its inpatient and outpatient programs.
“I want to help patients remember what they’re grateful for on their road to recovery,” said Dr. Rodas. “That’s something they can hold onto long after they leave treatment. My job is to be there for the patients who need help and to be of service to the staff who care for them every day.”
For Dr. Rodas, the move is also a homecoming. He grew up in North Jersey and accepted the role in part to return to the state and be closer to his family.
“Dr. Rodas brings specialized training in addiction medicine and a team-first mindset that fits right into our culture,” said Carter Q. Serrett, CEO of RCA at Raritan Bay. “He shows up for patients and for staff, and we’re glad to welcome him home to New Jersey.”
Dr. Rodas earned his Doctor of Medicine from St. Martinus University. He is currently continuing his education in addiction medicine.
