New data shows approach is significantly surpassing national standards
King of Prussia, PA, April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Recovery Centers of America (RCA) – a healthcare network of substance use disorder treatment facilities in the East, Midwest and South – today unveiled data that supports its evidence-based care model, setting a new standard for addiction treatment.
The model, carefully crafted by a team of medically trained experts, features three specific pathways ensuring personalized and effective care:
-
Foundations (Pathway 1): Tailored for first-time recovery patients, focuses on finding and addressing the sources that drive addiction.
-
Fresh Start (Pathway 2): For returning/relapse patients, focuses on addressing gaps in previous recovery experience and identifying top triggers.
-
Balance (Pathway 3): Geared towards patients with co-occurring disorders, assesses and addresses triggers for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) as well as mental health and other contributing conditions.
Additionally, six core tenets provide a variety of resources for lasting recovery, including the integration of the 12-step program, Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), measurement-driven care, alumni support, and family involvement.
New data shows that the outcomes of RCA’s model is surpassing national standards and other recovery centers, including:
-
RCA’s readmission rates are below national expectations.
-
At 30 days, RCA’s readmission rate is 7.5%, below the national expected rate of 10%.
-
At 90 days, RCA’s readmission rate is 14.9%, below the national expected rate of 20%.
-
-
Utilizing the Brief Addiction Monitor (BAM) for effective preparation and relapse prevention, RCA’s results are also successful in better preparing patients for recovery and preventing relapse-related behaviors.
-
For patients opting to use MAT, RCA’s approach contributes to a 20% reduction in readmissions.
“RCA’s evidence-based care model represents a distinctive, innovative, and patient-centered approach to treating addiction and fostering lasting recovery,” said Brett Cohen, CEO of RCA. “It is exciting to see these measurable results affirm that providing patients with exceptional treatments tailored to their specific needs achieves positive outcomes.”
RCA’s commitment to exceptional, customized care is also effectively evidenced by addressing common obstacles that hinder recovery – including rapid admission, insurance coverage and other accommodations:
