About Recovery Centers of America Capital Region

Recovery Centers of America Capital Region is a mental health and addiction treatment center. They are located in Waldorf, Maryland and provide their services in an inpatient and outpatient setting. They also prescribe medications to help treat any drug cravings you experience.

Recovery Centers of America uses medications like methadone and suboxone which are two of the more common medications used to combat addiction. It’s pretty interesting how these medications work. With methadone, it’s a long lasting opioid blocker. Basically, the medication attaches itself to the opioid receptors to minimize withdrawal symptoms. Think of a dial and the medication moves the dial to tell your brain and body that you are not experiencing pain for an amount of time.

Medications work differently for everyone so if you opt for this treatment you can work with your doctor to find the medication that works best for you. Regardless, people said that this place has a nice home like setting with a caring staff that will help you every step of the way when you go in for treatment.

Terrible experience. Misleading sales tactics, inadequate nursing, and profit-driven management. Only one doctor provided genuine care.And this is why my healthcare provider has put in an appeal and is in the process of investigating them through HHS. I recommend Alpas in La Plato.Yes, option 4 is likely the most effective for a Google review due to its conciseness. Here it is again:> "Lack of standard operating procedures, overworked nurses, and the head doctor's interference are harming patient care and rehabilitation."to convey the seriousness of the situation.Lack of standard operating procedures, overworked nurses, and the head doctor's interference are harming patient care and rehabilitation. Patients wait long periods, and nurses seem exhausted."Lack of standard operating procedures, overworked nurses, and the head doctor's interference are harming patient care and rehabilitation. I would not recommend this facility.

Accepted Insurance

Recovery Centers of America Capital Region works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
outpatient iconOutpatient
Clients who are exiting detox or intensive inpatient treatment often enroll in outpatient rehab programs to ensure a robust continuity of care. Outpatient programs allow clients to remain in or return to their homes and workplaces while continuing to receive treatment, which typically includes addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery may also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT), including medication induction and maintenance, at an outpatient facility.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Clients who are leaving inpatient rehab often choose to transition into an intensive outpatient program (IOP) to receive high-level support as they reintegrate into their home, workplace, and community. Intensive outpatient rehab also benefits those at risk of relapse. Clients typically participate in nine to 20 hours of treatment weekly, with modalities ranging from psychotherapy to addiction and recovery education. Many programs also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) and complementary care, such as nutrition counseling, and acupuncture.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
For intensive-level rehab treatment, 24-hour clinical care in Maryland is an essential tool. Medical staff are available around the clock to supervise the process, which involves cleansing the body of toxins. Close supervision is necessary due to the potential risks of withdrawal symptoms. Medical experts on-site are available to prescribe medications and other forms of treatment to address these symptoms and ensure a safe detox process.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Once a person has become addicted to a substance, drug rehab in Maryland is often necessary to overcome that addiction. These programs provide the tools individuals need to manage the physical, mental, and emotional issues involved and begin a successful recovery journey.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Four key principles guide motivational interviewing. These are empathy, self efficacy, rolling with resistance, and developing discrepancy. These techniques allow the client to examine their motivations for change, identify discrepancies in their current situation and future goals, and feel empowered to make changes to reach their goals.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

Within 48 hours of inpatient treatment, my family member had bed bugs all over their body as the staff neglected to address the pest issue. Families should not have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket if this what happens within this establishment. More trauma and health issues were caused in the midst of this occurrence. Legal action will take place

I was first introduced to Capital Region RCA summer 2022. After coming back home from Bracebridge RCA in Earleville, I continue to attend alumni meetings and volunteer with Capital Region. I hear and witness many people walk through the door on their way to recovery. If you or someone you know is in need of help, please reach out to them.

I went to RCA capitol region several times from 2021 to 2023 when I finally decided to take my recovery seriously. I have been to other rehabs and although RCA certainly has room for improvement the facility is very nice, the detox staff are excellent and of course the star of the show, MS Tammy, is worth the minor inconveniences of giving up your “freedom” for 30 days. She doesn’t sugar coat anything and is a wealth of knowledge in addiction as well as being extremely compassionate. She should be running the place in my opinion. Having said that, I think a lot of family members expect a miracle when their loved ones come home and sometimes, especially in my case, thirty days is not enough, 60 days or even 90 days wasn’t enough for me, I was on first name basis with everyone I was back and forth so much, but that was not RCAs fault. They give you the tools and resources and help you start your journey of sobriety and recovery but the rest is up to you. Everything must change or you will not make it. When you are truly ready for professional help these guys will be there for you but as soon as you walk out that door you must be ready to take responsibility for your recovery or you will be back and forth for two years like I was. If you have the insurance to cover RCA, I highly recommend it as a “first step” to getting your life back. It can be done and it’s not easy but RCA makes the pain a little more bearable and gives you all the tools you need to make a fresh start.

I had been to 4 facilities prior to my visit here and none worked. I came to this facility in April of 2021 and did a 30 day stay. The facility was great. Amazing staff. Perfect structure. They allow you to recover in your own way and guide you on that journey. I left in May of 2021 and am still sober to this day, June 2025. This is the other rehab facility I will ever recommend to people in the program. Trust it and it will work.

Great opportunity for speakers families and friends to meet those who have experienced addiction, or for those who are family and friends impacted by addicts. Nice time to hear successful stories, to be inspired and to rejoice in those efforts.

My family and I are so extremely grateful for the RCA-Capital Region for putting me on the path to great health! I don't think I could ever reach the newfound joy, good health, and positive mindset I have now without the help of the amazing staff at RCA-Capital Region! Truly, my experience here changed my life and I will be forever grateful to everyone at RCA. The staff is compassionate, knowledgeable, and seeks to understand every patient on a very personal level. What I value the most is that they showed me the importance of connection through the carefully-planned activities and the well-designed lessons on addiction. Thanks to RCA, I made a lot of new friends, and I am leading a great, productive life. I have conquered my depression/addiction and my future feels full of a hope I once never thought possible.
