A Waldorf addiction treatment facility serving Southern Maryland and the D.C. region is part of a national network that Newsweek has once again named among the country’s best residential addiction treatment centers.
Recovery Centers of America (RCA), which operates a facility in Waldorf and another in Earleville, announced this week that its network has been included on Newsweek’s 2026 list of America’s Best Residential Addiction Treatment Centers for the seventh consecutive year. The ranking, developed with Statista, evaluates roughly 17,000 U.S. residential facilities and names the top 440 based on four factors: a professional reputation survey of healthcare workers and treatment center managers, accreditation and licensing data tracked by SAMHSA, the range of recovery, education, and counseling services offered, and volume-weighted patient reviews from Rehabs.com, Recovery.com, and Google Reviews.
The Waldorf location, known as RCA Capital Region, has a multi-year history on this same list — it was previously recognized for three consecutive years and again ranked among Maryland’s best facilities in 2024, according to independent treatment directories. RCA’s other Maryland facility, RCA at Bracebridge Hall in Earleville, has also been separately recognized by Newsweek in past years. Capital Region specifically serves patients across Southern Maryland, the greater Washington, D.C. metro area, and parts of Virginia, offering medically monitored detox, residential treatment, and a range of outpatient programs.
“At Recovery Centers of America, we are driven by a singular mission: to save one million lives impacted by substance use and mental health disorders, one person at a time,” said Brett Cohen, RCA’s chief executive officer. “To see our facilities recognized by Newsweek again this year affirms the dedication of our clinical teams, the strength of our treatment model, and our deep commitment to patients and families across the country.”
RCA’s Maryland facilities offer both inpatient services — including medically monitored detox and residential treatment — and outpatient options such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and general outpatient programs, along with family coaching, an alumni network, and ongoing case management. All RCA locations are accredited by The Joint Commission. RCA says it admits patients 24/7 and accepts most major insurance plans.
