The RCA Foundation received $75,000 from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) for its substance abuse treatment services. 

“These programs steer people away from criminal activities and toward healthier and more productive lifestyles,” said Gov. Kay Ivey in a statement. “I am pleased to award these funds supporting initiatives to reduce crime and drug abuse in our communities.”

Based in Montgomery, the RCA Foundation provides treatment for people in drug court and court referral programs in Autauga, Butler, Conecuh, Crenshaw, Elmore and Lowndes counties.

The center was one of two others to benefit from a total of $194,941 from ADECA. 

“ADECA joins Gov. Ivey in support of these programs that share the goal of making communities safer,” said ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell.
