Restoration Recovery

Restoration Recovery, based in Auburn, CA, is one of the SAMHSA-registered treatment programs operating in CA. The facility offers a continuum of care across multiple levels — PHP, IOP, MAT — which means it can, in principle, hold a patient across the arc of a typical treatment episode. What this page can help with is the frame — what to ask, what to verify, what to compare against.

Care levels at Restoration Recovery

The care-level question matters because what a facility offers is what it can realistically treat well. The facility offers a continuum of care across multiple levels — PHP, IOP, MAT — which means it can, in principle, hold a patient across the arc of a typical treatment episode. The practical question is whether it is genuinely strong at each level, or whether one level is the core business and the others are secondary. Before admission, an independent clinical assessment (from a primary-care doctor, licensed substance-use counselor, or addiction-medicine physician) can confirm whether Restoration Recovery's offerings match the clinical need.

Insurance and payment

Restoration Recovery operates primarily on commercial insurance. The implication for patients: higher typical cost-share, potentially more intensive programming, and the full burden of MHPAEA parity-rule dynamics — including appeal rights when the plan denies. What tends to produce post-admission financial surprise is not the facility being out of network — it is the verbal assurance that did not make it into writing. Ask for the written VOB before admission, save the email, and the rest of the financial conversation becomes a lot simpler.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Adult women, Adult men, Seniors or older adults. Specialty programming varies substantially by facility — some facilities offer "dual diagnosis" as a marketing category but not a clinical differentiator. Ask for the specific clinical-team credentials and the actual hours of specialty-specific content per week.

Before you call

Before admission to Restoration Recovery, three questions consistently produce the most useful information: (1) which ASAM level of care are you treating me at, and what is the clinical rationale; (2) can you send me a written Verification of Benefits for my specific insurance plan; (3) what is your policy on medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder — specifically, do you continue patients on buprenorphine or methadone during residential programming. The facility's documented pharmacotherapy offerings suggest MAT is available — confirm the specific medications and prescriber access during the admissions conversation.
