Continuum of Care
Your Connected Care Journey
PMR’s Continuum of Care includes the services and levels of support available throughout treatment. Continuity of Care is how our team’s communication, planning, and relationships connect as a client moves from one level to the next.
Why PMR
Individualized Care At Every Stage
One Connected Team
PMR’s team communicates across all levels of care so clients and families don’t feel like they’re starting over at every transition.
Intentionally Small
PMR stays small on purpose. A smaller setting allows the team to know each client personally and adjust care as needs change.
Clinically Accountable
PMR is CARF accredited and licensed by DHCS, with treatment guided by clinical assessment and ongoing review.
Insurance Guidance
We verify benefits and explain available coverage and estimated financial responsibility as clearly as possible before treatment begins.
Family-Centered
Addiction affects the whole family. We include family education, communication, and support when clinically appropriate.
Owner-Led and Team-Supported
Families speak with a live member of the PMR team, not a distant call center or high-pressure sales department.
Meet the Team
Dedicated Experts Who Know Each Client

What We Treat
Treatment for Substance Use and Co-Occurring Concerns
We work with adults experiencing alcohol and drug use disorders, prescription medication dependence, behavioral concerns, trauma, and co-occurring mental health symptoms. Treatment recommendations are based on the full clinical picture, not only the substance involved.
Clinical Approach
Therapies and Practical Skills That Support Recovery
Evidence-based therapies, family involvement, relapse-prevention planning, and practical recovery skills are matched to each client’s needs.
Connected Settings for Each Stage of Care
Detox and residential treatment, outpatient services, and structured sober living each require a different environment. PMR uses connected settings so clients can receive the right level of structure and support as their needs change.

A private, home-like treatment setting for adults who need 24-hour structure, medical monitoring, and residential support.

Structured Sober Living for Men

We can verify your benefits, explain what your plan may cover, and review any estimated out-of-pocket responsibility before treatment begins. We work with most PPO and POS plans, and we work with TRICARE and TriWest plans with proper military authorizations.
- Blue Shield of California
- Anthem Blue Cross
- Cigna / Evernorth
- TRICARE

Coverage and authorization depend on the individual plan, clinical needs, medical necessity, and recommended level of care. PMR does not accept Medicare or Medi-Cal.
