ST. CHARLES, Ill., Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Recovery Centers of America (RCA) at St. Charles, Chicagoland's newest premier Midwest treatment facility whose mission is to help 1 million patients achieve a life of recovery, announced the opening of Recovery Centers of America at South Elgin Outpatient Center, expanding its comprehensive treatment opportunities.

The new RCA outpatient treatment facility, located at 460 Briargate Dr., South Elgin, Illinois, is just ten minutes from RCA's St. Charles inpatient treatment center. The facility is accessible to substance use disorder patients seeking general outpatient treatment as well as intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization care. RCA's comprehensive outpatient programs at South Elgin include group and individual counseling, family therapy, recovery seminars, RCA Alumni Association support and wellness activities. A digital connection program for outpatient as well as inpatient alumni and others in recovery is incorporated into the treatment program using a new software app called Shoutout™ to further support the treatment experience and the recovery journey afterwards.

"Since opening our inpatient facility over one year ago at St. Charles, RCA has treated nearly one thousand patients," said Karen Wolownik Albert, CEO of RCA at St. Charles. "We look forward to now providing a full continuum of care including a convenient, nearby outpatient program at RCA at South Elgin."

Recently, RCA was proud to host Rich Ross, bassist of internationally-acclaimed American rock band, the Freddy Jones Band, in a special interview with CEO of RCA at St. Charles Karen Wolownik Albert for International Recovery Day, Thursday, September 30.

Setting a new standard for addiction treatment in the Chicagoland area, RCA at St. Charles opened in September 2020. Covering 125 acres and located less than 50 miles outside downtown Chicago, patients are able to receive convenient treatment close to home where family members can be involved in the treatment process, increasing the likelihood of maintaining recovery. The challenge of recovery can be daunting, and RCA sets patients up for success through inpatient and outpatient treatment supported by community-based resources and followed by social, educational and cultural events via a robust alumni network after treatment.

An in-network provider for most insurance plans, RCA provides affordable, accessible and evidence-based treatment and clinical expertise to deliver quality care tailored to individual patients' needs in the Chicagoland area, as well as telehealth treatment services.
