Addiction Therapeutic Services

Addiction Therapeutic Services has positioned itself as the Coachella Valley's dedicated dual diagnosis and abstinence-based recovery center, drawing clients from Rancho Mirage, Barstow, and the broader Riverside County region. Where many outpatient programs treat substance use in isolation, ATS builds its clinical model around the recognition that trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring mental health disorders are frequently at the core of addiction — not secondary concerns.

The center's use of EMDR alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy reflects this specialization directly. EMDR is a structured therapeutic method with a strong track record for trauma resolution, and its inclusion alongside CBT gives ATS a clinical toolkit well-matched to the veteran, survivor, and dual diagnosis populations it primarily serves. For individuals who have struggled to make progress in programs that didn't address the trauma underneath their substance use, this combination can make a meaningful difference in long-term recovery outcomes.

One of the practical advantages of choosing ATS as a recovery center is the ability to move through multiple levels of care within the same program. Medical detox provides clinical support at the start of the process for those who need it. Once stabilized, clients can transition directly into the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or a standard Outpatient Program — maintaining continuity of care, clinical relationships, and treatment philosophy rather than starting over at a new facility.

For many people in longer-term recovery planning, this continuity matters. Rebuilding a life during recovery requires stability, and the IOP and outpatient formats at ATS are structured to support that — with evening hours extending to 9 PM on weekdays so that work schedules, family commitments, and treatment don't have to compete. Relapse prevention planning is integrated into aftercare support, helping clients leave the formal program with concrete strategies rather than a vague intention to stay sober.

ATS serves one of the more diverse client populations of any substance abuse treatment center in the Coachella Valley. The program is designed to work with veterans — including TRICARE-eligible service members and their families — as well as young adults ages 18–25, seniors and older adults, pregnant women, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and those referred through court-ordered treatment programs. This breadth reflects both the range of addiction's impact across communities and ATS's capacity to meet people from very different life circumstances within a shared, abstinence-based recovery framework.

Family members and individuals evaluating a recovery center on behalf of a loved one will find ATS's payment accessibility notable. The center accepts Medicare, TRICARE, state insurance, and six major commercial insurers, and offers sliding scale fees and private financing for self-pay clients. The CARF accreditation provides an additional layer of accountability that families often look for when making this kind of decision. For the Coachella Valley community, ATS represents a stable, regionally rooted option for sustained addiction treatment and recovery support.

Navigating payment for addiction treatment is one of the most common barriers people face when trying to enter a recovery program. ATS accepts a wide range of coverage options to reduce that barrier. Accepted insurance carriers include Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Aetna, MHN, Health Net, and IEHP (Inland Empire Health Plan), alongside Medicare, TRICARE, and state insurance programs. For individuals without private insurance coverage, ATS offers private pay plans and financing options so that cost alone does not prevent access to treatment.

The center can be reached directly at (760) 322-1777 or by email at [email protected]. The facility is located at One Mirage Place, 69730 Highway 111, Suite 109, in Rancho Mirage, CA 92270, and is open Monday through Friday. Evening hours through 9 PM on weekdays ensure that initial consultations and ongoing outpatient sessions don't require taking time away from work or family obligations.
