Recovery Centers of America at Devon

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults seeking multiple levels of care within the same facility; coming back to treatment after returning to substance use; looking for support for co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions; seeking help for mental health conditions without active substance use; looking for on-campus sober living while in outpatient treatment; balancing treatment with work or school; transitioning out of hospital or emergency care; first responders, military members, and their families interested in treatment tailored to their professions.

• Not a fit if: Adults seeking small or highly intimate programs; looking for an unstructured program; not interested in a program with an emphasis on 12-Step programming.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Entering treatment: For direct admissions, staff assess the client’s substance use, medical history, and current circumstances to determine the appropriate level and pathway of care. There’s also a FastTrack admissions process through which clients can receive prioritized admission when transferring from an emergency or hospital setting without waiting for additional medical paperwork. Transportation can be coordinated in some cases.
• Various treatment pathways: Four treatment pathways are available: Foundations of Recovery, for those entering treatment for the first time; Fresh Start, for those returning to treatment seeking a non-shaming approach; Balance, for clients needing support for substance use and co-occurring conditions; and Restore, a residential mental health program for those with no active substance use.
• RESCU at RCA: The RESCU program is designed for military members, police officers, paramedics, firefighters, and other first responders and their families. Clinicians are trained in first responder and military cultural competency and trauma-informed care and can help people address the challenges associated with these professions that can impact recovery.
• Care approaches: Clients can begin in withdrawal management (detox) and transition into lower levels of care as needed. Treatment plans may include group and individual therapy, relapse-prevention work, psychiatric support, and medications for addiction treatment (MAT) when appropriate.

Who you will meet with

• Medical team: During withdrawal management, clients receive around-the-clock monitoring from a specialized medical team that includes nursing support.
• Therapists: Therapists lead groups and may meet with clients for individual sessions.
• Psychiatric support: Psychiatric care is available for those who need support for mental health conditions, with or without co-occurring substance use.
• Case managers: Clients meet with case managers who help address practical concerns, including follow-up treatment and needs relating to employment, benefits, or court obligations.

Typical schedule

• Residential programming: Residential treatment has structured daily schedules that include individual and group treatment and medical and psychiatric support as needed.
• Partial hospitalization program: The PHP meets 5 days a week for approximately 5 to 6 hours a day.
• Intensive outpatient program: The IOP offers structured care with shorter sessions, meeting 3 days a week for 3 hours per session. In-person, virtual, and hybrid formats are available.
• WorkFlex: Professionals and students may be eligible for WorkFlex, which gives clients access to a phone and laptop for up to 3 hours a day to complete essential tasks.

Living experiences and amenities

• Accommodations: Clients may share rooms, but private rooms may be requested, subject to availability. Pet-friendly accommodations are also available.
• Wellness and physical activity: Chef-prepared meals are provided in a large cafeteria, and clients can visit the fitness center or head outdoors for fresh air breaks.
• Focus on community: Clients share common areas, including a fireplace and entertainment spaces for trivia nights, movie nights, and creative activities.
• Family involvement: Family education and support can help loved ones better understand addiction and recovery, from admission to discharge. This facility also offers intervention support, which can help families have supportive conversations with their loved one in treatment.

Aftercare

• A continuum of care: Clients can enter treatment at any level and step down as appropriate, transitioning from withdrawal management to residential treatment to the PHP and IOP.
• Sober living: Sober living accommodations are available for clients while participating in outpatient treatment at RCA.
• Discharge planning: This process begins during treatment, with case managers helping clients identify the next level of care, arrange sober living, or meet practical needs that may affect their recovery.
