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). Specialized tracks support clients facing gambling addiction, as well as military personnel and first responders seeking targeted care.
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.

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.

Twelve Step
Incorporating spirituality, community, and responsibility, 12-Step philosophies prioritize the guidance of a Higher Power and a continuation of 12-Step practices.
Therapies
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Combined with behavioral therapy, prescribed medications can enhance treatment by relieving withdrawal symptoms and focus patients on their recovery.

This method combines treatment with education, teaching patients about different paths toward recovery. This empowers them to make more effective decisions.
Spiritual Care
Tending to spiritual health helps treatment become more effective, allowing patients to better cope with their emotions and rebuild their spiritual wellbeing.
Twelve Step Facilitation
12-Step groups offer a framework for addiction recovery. Members commit to a higher power, recognize their issues, and support each other in the healing process.
