Recovery Consultants of Altanta, Inc. (RCA) is a faith-based recovery community organization designed to provide peer recovery support services to members of Atlanta’s inner-city addiction recovery community. RCA also facilitates a faith-based coalition that includes six predominately African American churches and a historically black college.
Through its "Linkage to Care" outreach program, individuals in recovery canvas inner-city Atlanta communities and engage substance users who are in the precontemplation, contemplation, or preparation stages of change in dialogue aimed at linking them with publicly funded detoxification programs. Individuals who complete a 7-day detoxification program or who are already in early recovery are linked with other RCA and publicly-funded services that include: access to the recovery center, more than 40 weekly 12-Step, faith-based, health specific (HIV and HCV), gender-specific, and family-specific support groups; transitional housing; addictive disorder treatment programs; and educational programs that help to improve parenting skills. RCA also provides incentives for sustained recovery through its workforce development and business development initiatives.
