Who Our Is Long-Term
Residential Treatment For
Many clients come to us after completing a higher level of care and are ready for the next step, such as stepping into sober living with outpatient treatment support (PHP, IOP, and OP). Others may enter from home or another living situation when they need more structure, accountability, and a clear plan. Clients may be navigating substance use recovery, co-occurring mental health concerns, or both, and we focus on individualized planning so each person’s care matches their needs and readiness, including support for building a work, school, and treatment balance when clinically appropriate.
Crow’s Nest Ranch is a structured, peer-supported, transitional environment in the Lake Tahoe, California region for young adult men (typically ages 18 to 35) seeking stability, connection, forward momentum, and lasting positive change. As a men’s recovery-focused setting in Northern California, we help clients build structure, accountability, and a practical path toward long-term wellness, with an emphasis on rebuilding purpose through workforce development, reintroduction to education, and vocational exploration as part of a sustainable recovery lifestyle.
What unites everyone at Crow’s Nest Ranch is the desire for a supportive space to reconnect with themselves, build community, and practice the rhythms of an independent, meaningful life, with a practical transition plan for what comes next. We emphasize connection through community by helping clients develop healthy relationships, consistent peer support, and local recovery involvement so they’re not doing it alone, both during programming and after graduation.
What Families and Alumni Say
Parent Testimonial:
“We had already sent our son to multiple treatment centers, and each time we hoped it would finally help him build a life he could sustain. After speaking with the crew at Crow’s Nest Ranch, we had a strong feeling this was different. They talked about treatment plus real-world reintegration, structure, and a clear step-down plan, not just getting through a program. That clarity and care helped our son find stability and start moving forward with a plan that actually fits real life.”
- Melissa R. Chicago, ILGraduate Testimonial:
“I came to Crow’s Nest Ranch unsure of what I wanted and not even convinced sobriety was for me. The structure and community helped me slow down long enough to reconnect with myself and figure out what I actually care about. Over time I found a deeper sense of purpose and direction, not just ‘staying out of trouble.’ Now I’m working toward earning my degree and building a life I’m proud of, with real ownership in my choices.”
- Jordan T. Austin, TXWife Testimonial:
“My husband had been sober in the past, but sobriety wasn’t the same as being truly present for our family. At Crow’s Nest Ranch, he got support that helped him recognize his role as a father and husband and reconnect with us in a real way. What stood out was how thorough the care felt, including being connected with an LMFT so we could do deeper work together. Crow’s Nest didn’t just support his recovery, they supported our family’s healing too.”

Confidential assessment and personalized adventure therapy plan
We bill most PPO & HMO Insurance Plans for clinical treatment, private pay options are all available, and the residential is solely private pay.
Flexible scheduling: In-person groups with virtual therapy appointments available as needed.
Your Clinical Step‑Down Track: PHP → IOP → OP
We help men progress through a structured outpatient pathway based on clinical need and readiness. Treatment services are outpatient; housing is supportive sober living and is coordinated to reinforce the clinical plan.
PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program)
PHP is a high‑support outpatient level of care with frequent clinical programming. It’s often appropriate when someone needs intensive structure while beginning to stabilize routines.
IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program)
IOP provides substantial clinical support while allowing more independence. Many clients step down into IOP as they build consistency, coping skills, and community connection.
OP (Outpatient Program)
Outpatient services support continued growth and maintenance as clients transition into work, school, and a more independent schedule.
Important note: Treatment services are outpatient. Housing is supportive sober living and is coordinated to reinforce the clinical plan.
Sober Living in Tahoe: Environment + Accountability
Crow’s Nest Ranch sober living is designed to be a respectful, compassionate, and structured environment where clients can practice recovery in daily life while staying connected to outpatient care. Nestled in the Truckee region of North Lake Tahoe, our setting supports long‑term sobriety through routine, community, and healthy lifestyle habits.
A Structured Sober Living House for Men in Truckee, CA

The Nest: A Safe and Supportive Community
Crow’s Nest Ranch, known affectionately as The Nest, emphasizes structure and accountability while building connection through community. Our goal is to help residents replace the adrenaline rush of substance use with the natural highs of healthy living, supported by whole foods, movement, outdoor adventure, and vocational training or assistance in finding full‑time employment.
Case Management + Life Skills (Real‑World Independence)
We support clients in building the practical skills that make recovery sustainable.
Life skills and independence areas may include:
Budgeting and financial planning
Scheduling, transportation planning, and appointment management
Communication skills and boundary setting
Employment and education readiness (when clinically appropriate)
Work + Treatment + Life Balance (PHP → IOP Step‑Down)
A major goal of long‑term recovery is learning how to live in recovery in the real world. As clients step down from PHP into IOP (when clinically appropriate), we help them build a sustainable weekly rhythm that can include work or school while staying engaged in treatment.
Support may include:
Creating a realistic weekly schedule that balances IOP programming, recovery commitments, wellness, and responsibilities
Coordination with local employment resources and practical job readiness support (as appropriate)
Accountability and check-ins so increased independence stays aligned with recovery goals
Wellness, Movement, and Holistic Recovery
We believe recovery is strengthened when the body and mind are supported together. Depending on the individualized plan, clients may participate in wellness practices such as:
Yoga and mindfulness
Strength and conditioning and personal training
Martial arts-based training (e.g., jiu‑jitsu, Muay Thai)
Outdoor and adventure-based experiences in the Tahoe region
Family Support and Communication
Families often need support and clarity during the recovery process. We provide structured communication and resources so families can stay informed and strengthen healthy boundaries.
Family support may include:
Planned updates and coordination (with appropriate consent)
Education and guidance on supporting long‑term recovery
Optional family sessions through clinical services (as appropriate)
Transition Planning + Aftercare (Home or Tahoe)
We treat transition as a process, not a single discharge date. From early on, we help clients build a plan for what comes next.
Transition planning may include:
A written step‑down and aftercare plan
Connection to meetings and recovery resources in the client’s home area
Coordination with outpatient providers, therapists, and supportive services
A realistic weekly schedule for the first 30 to 90 days after leaving
