California State Addiction Industry Credentials

Sunrise Recovery Ranch has been treating men who abuse alcohol or drugs in Riverside, California, for almost 10 years. Our parent facility, Sober Living by the Sea, has been treating alcoholism and drug addiction in California for 23 years.

Our addiction treatment facility was created for men who need highly supervised primary care rehab treatment in California. Sunrise Recovery Ranch's addiction treatment program was created by the addiction specialists at Sober Living by the Sea to provide a structured and supportive environment for men to begin building a life free from alcoholism and drug addiction

As we have seen many new addiction treatment facilities come about in recent years who claim to offer the same kind of services that Sunrise Recovery Ranch offers, we recommend that men who are in need of treatment research the credentials and ask the various treatment facilities about what the experience of recovery is like at that treatment center. We have created a page outlining some of the amenities and experiences that Sunrise Recovery Ranch has to offer so that people can begin to answer the question "Why Sunrise Ranch?"

Below we provide some information about the various addiction industry governing organizations that have accredited Sunrise Recovery Ranch.

ADP - The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs

The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs is responsible for administering prevention, treatment, and recovery services for alcohol and drug abuse and problem gambling.

The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs is designated as the Single State Agency (SSA) responsible for administering and coordinating the state’s efforts in alcohol and drug abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery services. ADP is also the primary state agency responsible for interagency coordination of these services.

ADP provides leadership and coordination in the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of a comprehensive statewide alcohol and drug use prevention, intervention, detoxification, and treatment and recovery system. The Department utilizes each of the 58 county alcohol and drug programs as the broker of service. The counties in turn are able to provide services to clients either directly or by contracting with local service providers.

NAATP - National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers

Since its founding in 1978, the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP), which represents nearly 275 not-for-profit and for-profit providers (free-standing and hospital-based programs, which offer a full continuum of care from outpatient, partial hospitalization, and inpatient rehabilitation regimes), has acted as the voice of private alcoholism and drug dependency treatment programs throughout the U.S. That voice has been heard time and time again – in Congress, in the insurance industry, in the utilization review arena, and in the chemical dependency treatment field itself.

NAATP has assumed a strong leadership role on behalf of treatment providers in areas such as treatment standards, education, research, and advocacy of legislative, regulatory, and reimbursement positions supported by the field.
