RCA at Raritan Bay delivers clinically proven care with signature compassion, helping clients heal from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. They offer a full continuum of services, including medically monitored detox, residential treatment, and an intensive outpatient program (in-person or virtual).

Navigate Recovery with 6 Guiding Principles

RCA applies six core tenets they’ve determined essential for every client to achieve sustained recovery. These include medications to reduce cravings and prevent relapse, daily 12-step meetings for peer support, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training to manage emotions and cope with challenges. Clients also benefit from family involvement, strong alumni connections after discharge, and care that’s guided by real-time progress tracking to adapt and improve treatment along the way.

Recharge in a Restorative Setting

RCA at Raritan Bay offers clients a modern, tranquil setting to focus on recovery. Semi-private rooms and peaceful outdoor courtyard spaces provide comfort and connection. Clients can enjoy the fitness center, yoga, and basketball for physical wellness and movement. Ping pong, game nights, karaoke, and the library offer space for relaxation and fun. Optional spiritual services and faith-based support help meet each client’s personal needs.

Stay Supported with a Thriving Alumni Network

RCA’s alumni association helps clients stay supported and inspired long after treatment ends. They offer ongoing recovery meetings and sober events like movies, sports, and picnics to bring alumni together for fun, fellowship, and connection. Many events allow alumni to invite family and friends, so their support system can play an active role in recovery.
