About AXS Rehab

A trusted addiction treatment center in Placerville, California, dedicated to compassionate care and lasting recovery.

Home/About Us

Founded on Compassion, Built for Recovery

AXS Rehab was established with a clear purpose: to create a treatment center in the Sierra Nevada foothills where individuals struggling with addiction could find genuine compassion, clinical excellence, and a realistic path to lasting sobriety. Our founders, drawing on decades of combined experience in behavioral health and addiction medicine, chose Placerville for its serene natural surroundings and strong community spirit.

From our first day, we recognized that every person who walks through our doors carries a unique story. That belief drives everything we do, from the individualized treatment plans we design to the warm, home-like environment we maintain at our 398 Main St facility. We treat the whole person, not just the substance use disorder, addressing the underlying trauma, co-occurring mental health conditions, and life circumstances that fuel addiction.

Our Mission: To empower individuals and families affected by addiction through compassionate, evidence-based treatment that restores hope, rebuilds lives, and nurtures lifelong recovery in a safe and healing environment.
