Daily activities like movie nights, fitness, sewing, and football Sundays help foster connection, while nature’s beauty creates space for peace, reflection, and healing.
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.
