The Recovery Connection

What The Recovery Connection does

The Recovery Connection (TRC), founded on September 1, 2018 in Winchester, Virginia, is a privately held, female-founded substance use disorder treatment center that operates a continuum of care exclusively for women. The program is built around a 45-day integrated residential treatment model that combines evidence-based clinical therapies (Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient levels of care, plus clinically managed low-intensity residential) with holistic healing modalities including yoga, meditation, breath-work, reiki, and recreational therapies. The center differentiates through its women-only, trauma-informed environment and a "connection is the antidote" treatment philosophy, supported by a staff that includes Certified Peer Recovery Specialists and clinicians who are themselves in long-term recovery.

Revenue is generated through insurance reimbursements (in-network with Virginia Medicaid service providers, Sentara, and Humana) and self-pay arrangements for residential and outpatient episodes, with admissions processed through a digital patient portal and direct phone outreach. The go-to-market blends community-led advocacy (TEDx speaking, White House roundtables, Virginia legislative lobbying for Danny's Law) with referral-based admissions from healthcare providers and payer networks. Operations are concentrated at a single Winchester, Virginia facility, with a team of 20+ clinicians, direct-care staff, and administrative personnel; the company has served hundreds of women since opening.
