About Us
Recovery Care Partner is your one-stop support system for recovery from alcoholism and addiction.

One in ten Americans suffer from a substance use disorder. This means nearly every family is touched by it. Thousands of other people are in the same distress as you. Dozens of people call us for help every day.
There is no shame
Alcoholism and addiction are diseases. They are not moral failings nor are they the result of failed parenting. They are diseases that result in intolerable behavior.
You don't have to live this way

Values
Addiction is a devastating disease. It corrodes family relationships, it terrifies onlookers, and it destroys self-respect. For treatment to be effective, there must be a platform of dignity and respect.
Three decades of experience have demonstrated time and time again that the most powerful tools for dealing with addiction are love and compassion, delivered with clarity, firmness, dignity and respect.
Only cancer and heart disease kill more people than addiction. Of these three diseases, addiction is the most treatable. But since addiction is a disease of the brain and one which manifests behaviorally, it takes a significant toll on sufferers and their families. We are sensitive to this and respect that. We respect you.

Commitment
Recovery Care Partner exists for one purpose: to help addicts establish sustainable recovery. We are unwaveringly committed to that goal.
In the normal course of our work, we calm heated family dynamics, we recommend ideal addiction treatment centers, and we have the hard conversations with you – but it is all for the purpose of the main objective, which is helping the addict to recover.
In special circumstances, we hire private detectives, coordinate with the judicial system, and work with broker relationships between health care providers – but it is still for that one objective.
With addiction recovery services and sober coaching, our single focus is to help our clients live a life free of substance abuse. We do whatever it takes.
