WALDORF, Md., Aug. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Recovery Centers of America Capital Region (RCA), an inpatient and outpatient substance use disorder treatment facility outside Washington D.C., has been named a 2021 Best U.S. Addiction Treatment Facility in Maryland by Newsweek Magazine.

RCA Capital Region is part of a national network of world class substance use disorder treatment facilities in Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, and Illinois.

Domenica Personti, the interim CEO of RCA Capital Region, who has also served as CEO at RCA's other inpatient facility in Earleville, MD, RCA at Bracebridge Hall, said that the expertise and dedication of the Capital Region treatment team are key ingredients in the facility's success with patients.

"The clinicians and staff here are saving lives every day and I'm so proud that the entire team has been recognized for their hard work amidst the challenging conditions of the global pandemic. We are privileged that our patients continue to honor us by choosing to get well here at RCA Capital Region," said Personti.
