The nonprofit rehabilitation program Community Recovery Resources, in Grass Valley, soon will be able to help middle-class people struggling with alcohol and drugs by working with the client’s health insurance to pay for services.
CoRR staff are setting up the program and hope to offer it by the end of the year, according to Development Director William Locker. CoRR will announce which insurance carriers are involved and a starting date then.
It’s a major step in the evolution of the drug and alcohol treatment center started in 1974 as the Nevada County Council of Alcoholism. It now serves about 950 clients, Executive Director Warren Daniels said.
“For years, the medical community and recovery community haven’t shaken hands,” Daniels said this week. “It was because doctors couldn’t send us some people who had to pay for services, and of course, people in crisis don’t have the money.”
