Recovery Centers of America at Westminster

Ranked #6 in Massachusetts on Newsweek’s 2024 list of America’s Best Addiction Centers, RCA at Westminster delivers clinically proven care with signature compassion. They treat substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions through medically monitored detox, residential treatment, and day and extended day treatment. They also offer specialized support for first responders and military personnel, helping each client build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
RCA applies six core tenets they’ve determined essential for every client to achieve sustained recovery. These include medications to reduce cravings and prevent relapse, daily 12-step meetings for peer support, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training to manage emotions and cope with challenges. Clients also benefit from family involvement, strong alumni connections after discharge, and care that’s guided by real-time progress tracking to adapt and improve treatment along the way.
Formerly a ski lodge, RCA at Westminster offers classic New England charm on their serene, nature-filled campus. Semi-private rooms with ensuite bathrooms offer comfort and privacy, while clients enjoy amenities like a pool, fitness center, hiking trails, and a variety of outdoor sports. Activities such as art, yoga, and fireside chats with s’mores round out the experience at this peaceful, lodge-style retreat.
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.
