Pathways Recovery provides drug rehab in Cameron Park from 1010 Camerado Dr #101a, about a minute off the Cameron Park Drive exit on Highway 50. It is the closest full-service addiction treatment provider to most of central El Dorado County, roughly a mile from the Community Services District and within a few minutes of most of the town.
Assessment, outpatient care, intensive outpatient, medication-assisted treatment, individual therapy and treatment for co-occurring conditions all happen at this location. Medical detox and residential treatment are delivered at our Roseville facility, with admission arranged from here so you make one set of calls rather than two.
Getting Here
From the center of town, take Cameron Park Drive to Camerado Drive. We are on the east side, a two-story building with ground-floor access and free on-site parking. Camerado Drive runs parallel to Cameron Park Drive on the north side of the highway. If your navigation sends you toward the Airpark, you have gone too far east. Unit #101a is on the ground floor, left of the main entrance.
From Shingle Springs, Highway 50 west to the Cameron Park Drive exit, about 6 minutes. From El Dorado Hills, Highway 50 east to the same exit, about 8 minutes. From Rescue, south on Green Valley Road, roughly 7 minutes. From Diamond Springs, around 12 minutes. From Placerville, about 15.
What Addiction Treatment Here Actually Looks Like
This town sits in an unusual position. It has a community health center, an urgent care, family medicine at the Palmer Drive campus, a sheriff’s substation and a youth and family services agency, all within a mile and a half. What it does not have, and what no town within ten miles of it has, is a licensed adult detox or residential treatment facility.
The nearest options are a men’s county-oriented program in Placerville and a medication-assisted treatment clinic in Diamond Springs. Neither provides supervised withdrawal management or residential beds. Anyone in this part of El Dorado County who needs to start with detox has always left the ring to get it.
That gap shapes how people here actually experience the problem. Jovive Urgent Care on Flying C Road handles a great deal, but it is urgent care rather than an emergency department, and it closes at 5:30 on weekdays and 4:30 at weekends. The nearest emergency department is Mercy Hospital of Folsom, about 8.6 miles west. Marshall in Placerville is 11.1 miles east. So somebody in withdrawal on a Saturday evening is looking at a drive regardless.
That is not a criticism of the local system. It is a reflection of geography. El Dorado County is large and thinly populated outside the Highway 50 corridor, and residential treatment capacity tends to follow population.
El Dorado Community Health Centers on Ponte Morino Drive runs behavioral health, and El Dorado County Behavioral Health operates from Diamond Springs. Both are real resources and both carry the capacity limits that publicly funded services carry.
Our location exists to close the distance on everything that does not require a bed, and to arrange the rest without making you start over somewhere else.
The Levels of Care, and Where Each One Happens
Drug rehab is not one thing, and the level you need is a clinical question rather than a preference. Here is what we provide in Cameron Park, and what is delivered at our Roseville facility.
Assessment happens at Camerado Dr. Around 90 minutes, covering what you have been using and for how long, medical and psychiatric history, current medications, and what your living situation will support. It ends with a recommended level of care and the reasoning behind it.
Intensive outpatient runs three sessions a week, three hours a session, with an evening track for people working in Sacramento or Folsom. A virtual option covers anyone living in California, which for households further up the Highway 50 corridor is often the difference between finishing and dropping out.
Medication-assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol dependence. Buprenorphine and naltrexone, prescribed and monitored alongside therapy. Reviews happen here rather than requiring a drive west.
Individual therapy runs weekly, with EMDR and brainspotting available alongside CBT and DBT. Pairing is made on clinical fit rather than whoever has a free slot.
Treatment for co-occurring conditions, meaning anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and PTSD addressed at the same time as the substance use rather than after it.
Medical detox runs 5 to 14 days with a registered nurse and physician available 24/7, at our Roseville facility under DHCS license 310023AP.
Residential treatment runs 30 to 90 days in separate men’s and women’s houses, six men and eight women, under licenses 310023EP and 310023DP.
Both are arranged from here. If the assessment points there, we hold the bed and coordinate the move.
Meetings and Aftercare Nearby
Cameron Park is small enough that the group you sit in on a Tuesday is likely to include people you recognize. Most clients find that helps more than it costs.
Recovery meetings run at Light of the Hills Lutheran on Rodeo Road and Hillside Church on Flying C Road, both within about a mile and a half of our office. Foothills Church on Merrychase Drive also hosts groups. Further out, Mother Lode Fellowship on Pleasant Valley Road in Diamond Springs is the closest dedicated recovery club in the area and runs a fuller weekly schedule than any single church venue.
Meeting times change. Check current schedules through the El Dorado County intergroup listings rather than relying on a page like this one.
Our alumni program runs alongside whatever you build locally, and clients who complete residential treatment commonly step down into outpatient care and therapy here rather than continuing to drive west.
Paying for Treatment
Most households along this stretch of the Highway 50 corridor carry commercial coverage through an employer, which usually means a PPO with out-of-network benefits.
We accept any PPO plan with out-of-network benefits, and Kaiser HMO. Verification takes about 15 minutes on the phone, costs nothing, and we contact your carrier directly rather than sending you away to find out.
We do not accept Medi-Cal, Medicaid, CalWorks or Medicare. That distinction matters more here than in a larger market. If Medi-Cal is your coverage, El Dorado Community Health Centers on Ponte Morino Drive and El Dorado County Behavioral Health in Diamond Springs are where to start, and we would rather say so on the phone than after an assessment.
