About Us - Create Recovery

Care That Fits Into Your Life, Not the Other Way Around

At Create Recovery, we believe healing works best when it fits into the life you are already leading, and not one that asks you to put it on hold. This is why, when you reach out to us, you are met with a licensed and experienced clinical team that will sit down with you in safe and confidential settings to listen to your story, your needs, and your challenges to personalize your recovery to meet you where you are. Our aim is simple – to ensure you feel seen, respected, and know that you are not on your own at any step of this journey.

How We Craft Your Care?

At Create Recovery, no two recovery paths look the same. Before we proceed with your treatment, we will conduct safe and confidential clinical assessments to understand your symptoms, triggers, social systems, and what recovery needs to look like for you. Your care is based on:
  • A judgment-free environment where you can really explore your struggles
  • Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns
  • Scheduling that fits your life - your studies, your job, your family responsibilities
  • Evidence-based therapies that meet your specific needs and your comfort level
  • Consistent clinical oversight combined with practical, real-world skill development
We are not just aiming to treat a list of symptoms. We are aiming to be with you as you build a strong pathway toward a life you are willing to embrace.

What Healing Looks Like at Create Recovery?

We treat the whole person – mind, body, and spirit.

A Setting for Your Healing

Our West Los Angeles facility is not designed to feel clinical. It is designed to feel like somewhere you can breathe, slow down, and explore your struggles.

Judgment-Free by Design

We want you to be honest – with your team and with yourself. This can only happen if the setting feels safe.

Individual and Group Therapy

You get the privacy to explore what lies beneath your substance use and mental health symptoms, alongside a supportive community of those who can understand where you have been and where you are going.

Whole Person Healing

Beyond therapy and medication, we seek to develop habits that maintain recovery – nutrition, sleep, movement, mindfulness, stress management, and other healthier routines. 

Real-World Skill Development

The tools you learn here are not just meant for a clinical setting. They are instilled with the world beyond the four walls of our treatment center in mind.

Family Support

Substance use and mental health struggles do not just impact the person; they impact the family. This is why family support is provided to equip your loved ones with the tools and skills they need to create a supportive setting for your recovery.

Case Management Services

For practical recovery support, we provide real-world case management services that cater to housing, employment, legal, and community needs so that you can feel supported in your life beyond the treatment center.

Evidence-Based Outpatient Treatment in the Greater Los Angeles Area

When there’s motivation to seek treatment, a rigorous outpatient program is an ideal structure for providing addiction recovery programs. That’s what makes us one of the leading treatment facilities in the West Los Angeles. Just as the road to addiction has many twists and turns, there’s no straight path to recovery. Each person’s experience is unique, painful, and treatable.

Our clinical experts use a variety of models and therapies to develop individualized treatment programs that meet each person exactly where they are on their journey to recovery. Our evidence-based programs for men and women are flexible, age-inclusive, and designed to treat substance abuse, alcoholism, depression, trauma, process addictions, and other mental and behavioral health challenges.

From the moment a person walks in the door, to the end of a treatment plan, to a responsive aftercare and alumni program, our team is here.
