Services to support your unique and personal needs
The services offered at RCPC will address the individual as a whole and their unique and personal needs. The same recovery process does not work for everyone, and it is important to be open and understanding while walking someone through what is and is not going to work for them. Peer support is a non-judgmental service that allows individuals to make their own choices without fear of ridicule.
