Medical Director

"I love working here because the staff is all like-minded - we all believe that anyone coming through the door has the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and can change. We're like-minded in our approach that each person can choose recovery on their terms and we can assist them to get there safely. RCA supports this; the individualized approach that is both evidence-based medical care and grounded in mutual support." -- Dr. Heidi Ginter, RCA Chief Medical Officer

RCA's Passion

In 2013, Recovery Centers of America (RCA) announced a goal: Save one million lives from the disease of addiction. We're working fast and hard to fulfill that promise, with over 11 facilities that offer evidence-based inpatient, outpatient, and medication-assisted treatment 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We know one size doesn't fit all when it comes to addiction treatment; that's why we tailor our treatment for each patient and offer specialized programs for patients with trauma and multiple recurrences, as well as programs for older adults, first responders, and more.

We believe in the power of local treatment, because families are a huge part of the treatment and recovery process at RCA. Our family program rebuilds, restores, or strengthens family relationships.

Our curriculum, resources, and evidence-based care were created to help patients not just achieve recovery, but maintain it for life. All of our services and treatment are delivered by clinical expertise - that's where you come in.
