Job Description

RCA's Passion

"I joined RCA in 2017 as a Recovery Support Specialist (RSS) and it was one of the most rewarding journeys of my life -- being of service to those struggling with the same disease I battled for about 10 years. I encourage anyone interested to embark on this wonderful journey and join the war on addiction with RCA" -- Noel L., RSS Supervisor

In 2013, Recovery Centers of America (RCA) announced a goal: Save one million lives from the disease of addiction. We're working fast and hard to fulfill that promise, with over 11 facilities that offer evidence-based inpatient, outpatient, and medication-assisted treatment 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We know one size doesn't fit all when it comes to addiction treatment; that's why we tailor our treatment for each patient and offer specialized programs for patients with trauma and multiple recurrences, as well as programs for older adults, first responders, and more.

We believe in the power of local treatment, because families are a huge part of the treatment and recovery process at RCA. Our family program rebuilds, restores, or strengthens family relationships.

Our curriculum, resources, and evidence-based care were created to help patients not just achieve recovery, but maintain it for life. All our services and treatment are delivered by clinical expertise - that's where you come in.

As a Recovery Support Specialist, you'll be a part of our exciting mission of helping millions of people jumpstart their recovery. Your passion for fighting back against the disease of addiction will aid in patient recovery, as you support and implement effective techniques while making a difference in the lives of patients, their families, and communities.
