About Recovery Village Ridgefield
The Recovery Village Ridgefield operates a coordinated two-site addiction treatment system serving the greater Portland-Vancouver metro area. The medical detox center sits at 5114 NE 94th Avenue in Vancouver, Washington, with the residential rehab campus located in nearby Ridgefield. The arrangement allows clients to step from medically supervised withdrawal directly into inpatient treatment within the same provider system, minimizing the transitions that often derail early recovery. The 22,000-square-foot campus offers same-day or next-day admission, and walk-ins are accepted when scheduling in advance is not possible.
The program is physician-led, with Associate Medical Director Hillary Paulsen, MD, overseeing medical care alongside Clinical Director Heather Talbott (LSWAIC, SUDP), Site CEO Bethany Neal (LICSW, SUDP), and Director of Nursing Courtney Shipley (RN, BSN). The clinical model is evidence-based and multidisciplinary, combining medical detox, inpatient residential treatment, partial hospitalization, aftercare, and medication-assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, 12-step facilitation, and SMART Recovery support.
The Recovery Village Ridgefield treats substance abuse broadly, including alcohol, benzodiazepine, opioid, heroin, and methamphetamine addictions, plus co-occurring mental health conditions. SAMHSA-confirmed populations include veterans, pregnant women, young adults, seniors, men, women, and people living with HIV/AIDS. Trauma-informed care is integrated across the program, reflecting the high overlap between substance use and trauma histories.
The facility holds an unusually strong accreditation profile: The Joint Commission, CARF, Council on Accreditation (COA), and NCQA — a quadruple accreditation that few addiction treatment centers achieve. Most major insurance plans cover some or all costs of treatment, with self-pay options also available. The admissions team verifies insurance benefits before intake and is available 24/7 at (360) 857-0007 to discuss next steps, pricing, and same-day admissions.
