Robert Alexander Center

I had no idea what to expect when entering RAC. My life was becoming unmanageable and they invited me into their center to help me live a life of sobriety. The staff there were welcoming and informative. They provided me with the tools I needed to successfully beat this disease. I think what makes this place so special is that the staff can relate to each of their clients

I’m 19yrs old and I traveled to R.A.C I was so hesitant and scared because I was leaving my hometown Syracuse, NY. After my 2nd day there I got comfortable with the staff here; they are very nice and supportive. I also got to meet new people that are now in my support group. You would make lifetime friends and leave feeling better than ever. The groups they provided here are very educational and you get a lot of intel on what’s going on in your life. I went for my mental health and I could honestly say my mental has improved significantly after being here for 2wks.

"As a nursing student, I had the privilege of completing my clinical rotation at RAC, and the experience exceeded my expectations. From day one, the staff welcomed me warmly and were incredibly supportive, making it a comfortable learning environment. The interdisciplinary team was highly skilled and compassionate, providing a holistic approach to patient care that I hadn’t seen in other settings. What stood out the most was the level of dedication and respect shown toward each patient. The facility focuses not just on physical recovery, but also on mental and emotional well-being, which made a huge impact on my understanding of addiction and rehabilitation. I learned so much from observing how individualized care plans were developed, integrating therapy, counseling, and medical treatments. The staff took time to answer my questions, involve me in patient care, and explain the rationale behind their decisions, which made me feel like a valued member of the team. The emphasis on patient dignity and long-term recovery goals gave me a new perspective on nursing in the field of addiction treatment. Overall, this clinical experience was incredibly rewarding and eye-opening, and I would highly recommend this facility to any nursing student looking to deepen their understanding of substance abuse treatment and holistic care. I am confident that the skills and insights I gained here will shape my nursing practice for years to come."

This place is, to say the least, life changing. Everyone from the techs, therapists, nurses, case management, and the chefs, are amazing people and are the most kindhearted people. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a first step in healing and recovery.

Amazing facility with amazing facilitators and medical detox. One of the best programs in the country. Highly recommend anyone who needs mental health help or wants to get sober.
