RCA at Indianapolis is proud to offer residential and outpatient treatment for primary mental health diagnoses—with or without an active SUD diagnosis. As CEO, Christine Schultz shared with Becker’s Behavioral Health, this expansion is about meeting patients where they are, eliminating care gaps, and building on the trusted relationships already in place.

By launching new mental–health–only residential, IOP, and PHP services, we’re making it possible for more people to get the help they need, without having to start over somewhere else.

For many, Easter is a time for family, renewal, and new beginnings. But for others, it’s a quiet reminder of hidden struggles—battles with substance use, mental health, or feeling stuck.

At Recovery Centers of America, we’ve seen it time and again: someone walks in thinking all is lost, only to find that hope was never gone. It was just waiting to be rediscovered.

Hope is always in season. Even on the hardest days. Especially during the holidays.

Fran is a consistent example of what it means to serve those in need with a compassionate heart. She is dedicated to her patients, goes above and beyond to assure her patients receive their MAT medications outside her scheduled hours, calls in scripts on the weekends, if needed, so patients don’t go into withdrawal, and assures patient safety is a number one priority. Fran is usually the first one in and the last to leave. Her charting is always on time. Even when Fran’s schedule is booked back-to-back, if a patient calls that she hasn’t seen in a while, she finds time to squeeze the patient in to make sure the patient is okay. Fran takes the time to make all patients feel heard and understood, while educating them on MAT and the importance of safe care at all levels of care. Fran attends community events with our team to assure more people have access to MAT education.

Fran also cares very much about the people she works with. She dressed as a pilgrim at Thanksgiving to bring us joy and planned “SOUPer Wednesday”, a soup day to increase team connectedness. Fran’s kindness, humor, and joyful spirit is infectious around the office. We are so lucky to have her as a part of the RCA St. Charles Team.

Additionally, on November 1, 2024, Fran led our IP Nursing team in successfully running a code blue on a patient who was unresponsive. Thanks to her expertise in emergency medicine, her unmatched leadership skills, and competence in everything she does, this patient was sent to the hospital with a chance and returned to RCA alive and well.

We are so grateful to have Fran on our team here at RCA. She’s an inspiration to all of Nursing with her consistently high quality of care, her dedication to patient education, and her innate sense of mentorship. Despite this skillset, Fran continues to be a lifelong learner – actively seeking opportunities for growth and furthering her own education. She has this gift where she’s able to exude all of these qualities in the most selfless ways, with the utmost humility. Plain and simple, Fran is an asset to every team at STC - she truly just makes everything better.

Sharing love, light, and hope this holiday season. May these days surround you with cherished family and friends, while nurturing your path of recovery and renewal. Here's to building strength and welcoming brighter tomorrows.

20/12/2024

The holiday season is especially difficult for patients in inpatient recovery facilities. The temptation to want to leave to be with family and/or friends is great. Staff is pushing recovery and to maintain mindfulness and not be reactive during this time and to stay and see it through - but why?

Why is staying in inpatient treatment crucial?

Structured Support: Treatment centers provide a structured environment with consistent support, reducing the likelihood of impulsive decisions.
Professional Guidance: Therapists and counselors can help individuals develop coping mechanisms to navigate holiday triggers and stress.
Community Connection: Being surrounded by others in recovery can offer strength, accountability, and a sense of belonging.
Reduced Risk of Relapse: Studies have shown that relapse rates can increase significantly during the holidays. Staying in treatment can mitigate this risk.
By remaining in treatment, individuals in recovery can build on their progress and emerge from the holiday season stronger than ever.
