Native Directions, Inc (NDI) is the company managing these three facilities, and they are based in Manteca, CA. They have been there since 1972, currently operating on a single 3-acre plot of land. The current NDI facility is for male Native American substance abuse disorder patients.
These new facilities in Rescue and Shingle Springs are individually much larger than the current NDI facility (more than 3X the size and scale of their current facility). The facilities in Rescue are noted as female patients only, with one facility dedicated to pregnancy care, while NDI’s current facility is male patients only. Based on our research, we can’t find any experience for NDI working with female patients, or in operating a perinatal (pregnancy) medical facility, or in providing a child care facility for children that patients might bring with them during their treatment stay.
It is a 90 minute drive from their existing facility to the Rescue parcels. Based on our research we can’t find any experience for NDI operating in El Dorado County (EDC) or working with EDC patients or organizations.
