ABC Recovery Center

What ABC Recovery Center does

ABC Recovery Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit addiction treatment organization founded in 1963 and headquartered in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley. It operates the oldest program of its kind in the region and delivers a full continuum of care for substance use disorders, including medical detox (7-10 days), residential treatment (30-60 days), partial hospitalization (30-90 days), intensive outpatient (4-6 months), outpatient (4-6 months), sober living, and transitional living (up to 18 months). The organization also runs the only perinatal program in the Coachella Valley for expectant and new mothers with substance use disorders, plus a family program and specialized LGBTQIA-focused services delivered in English and Spanish. The center is licensed and certified by the California Department of Health Care Services (Residential #330001AN, Outpatient #330001BN), holds CARF accreditation, and maintains HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 compliance.

The service delivery model is human-staffed, evidence-based clinical care augmented by medication-assisted treatment, group and individual counseling, 12-step integration, and multi-disciplinary treatment plans; there is no proprietary technology platform or AI-driven component in the offering. The organization employs 11-50 staff and serves roughly 1,000+ individuals annually across the Coachella Valley, Riverside County, the High Desert, and (as of July 2025) Imperial County. There is no recurring software revenue stream; revenue is generated from three primary streams: insurance reimbursements (in-network with Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Health Net, Aetna, Meritain Health, Value Options, MHN, plus Medi-Cal), self-pay on a sliding scale ($7,500-$25,000 per 30-day cycle), and philanthropic donations (501(c)(3), EIN 75-1006381).

Billable client revenue runs approximately $19 million annually, but realized collections after reimbursements are only about $5.65 million, leaving roughly $14.05 million in uncompensated care, charity care, and gap funding that the organization must subsidize through grants and donations. A $27.2 million DHCS/CDSS grant awarded in June 2022 funds a major campus expansion adding 44,400 square feet and 120 new licensed beds, with a grand opening scheduled for June 15, 2026, that will double licensed capacity from 75 to 195 beds.
