What Placer County Medi-Cal Covers at Crow's Nest Ranch
Holistic Recovery for Every Human. Not a Demographic
The treatment model at Crow's Nest Ranch was built around a single conviction: the depth, quality, and dignity of your recovery experience should not be tiered. The therapeutic modalities we offer, the ones typically associated with high-end residential programs or private-pay facilities, are the same modalities available to every person we serve, including those on Medi-Cal Placer County.
Crow's Nest Ranch Outpatient offers treatment based in Truckee, California. We are not a luxury facility in the exclusive sense. We are a facility that refuses to treat "luxury" as something separate from what everyone deserves. The Tahoe-Truckee region is part of who we are: the landscape, the outdoor culture, the community, and that environment is available to everyone here.
Clinical Therapy
One-on-one sessions using ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and more.
Movement & Somatic Work
Yoga for recovery, HIIT fitness, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and personal training. Not as recreation -- as clinical tools that reconnect the body and support nervous system regulation.
Outdoor & Adventure Therapy
The Sierra Nevada is not a backdrop here. It is part of treatment. Nature-based experiences are built into programming as a way of supporting presence, accountability, and resilience.
Group Therapy & Peer Community
Structured group sessions alongside people who understand what you are going through -- people working toward the same thing. Dual Diagnosis Care: Integrated treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD.
Who Comes to Crow's Nest Ranch for Treatment?
Our patients come from Placer County, Nevada County, the greater Sacramento area, and from states across the country. Some come with PPO insurance. Some come through Medi-Cal. Some pay privately. What they share is not an income bracket -- it is the recognition that something needs to change and the willingness to do the work to change it.
We work with adults navigating a wide range of substance use challenges including:
Alcohol use disorder
Opioid dependence
Stimulant use (cocaine, methamphetamine)
Cannabis use disorder
Benzodiazepine and prescription drug dependence
Polysubstance use
Substance use with co-occurring mental health diagnoses
Many of our patients arrive from other treatment programs: detox facilities, residential rehab, or step-down referrals. We are equipped to receive patients mid-continuum and build from wherever they are.
