About Yellow Wood Recovery
Yellow Wood Recovery is a DHCS-licensed substance use treatment facility located at 12646 Thornberg Way in Rancho Cordova, California, within Sacramento County. The facility operates 24 hours a day and serves individuals from Rancho Cordova, Sacramento, Folsom, and Fair Oaks who need structured, physician-supervised addiction treatment. What distinguishes it from many area programs is its employment of board-certified physicians in addiction psychiatry — not limited or on-call physician coverage, but dedicated medical staff managing clinical care.
The facility provides three levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. Medical detox is delivered under 24/7 medical supervision, with on-site physicians overseeing withdrawal management from the point of admission. Residential treatment offers inpatient-level care in a small-census environment, allowing for closer clinical oversight than larger institutional programs. The outpatient program extends care for individuals who have completed a higher level of treatment or whose clinical needs are appropriate for a less intensive setting.
Clinical care at Yellow Wood Recovery includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and addresses co-occurring disorders alongside substance use — including depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and bipolar disorder. Alcohol addiction is among the confirmed conditions treated. The small-census residential model is a deliberate program feature, not an incidental detail, and it shapes the clinical environment across all levels of care.
Yellow Wood Recovery serves a range of specific populations: veterans, pregnant women, seniors and older adults, men, and women. Payment options include private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay. Free and confidential insurance verification is available. TRICARE acceptance makes the facility a notable option for military veterans and their families in the greater Sacramento region who need medically supervised detox or inpatient addiction treatment.
