About Start Up Recovery

At Start Up Recovery and Wellness, each client’s recovery is approached with the same vigor the founders brought to launching startups and turning around companies. They welcome a diverse clientele—executives, artists, athletes, empty nesters, and young adults—who are ready not only to pursue lifelong recovery from addiction or mental health crises, but also to rekindle passions and reconnect with their authentic selves.
Start Up redefines clinical care with a deeply personalized, integrative approach. After an in-depth, in-person assessment, each client receives a tailored plan that may include psychiatry, psychotherapy, addiction therapy, and group sessions designed to uncover root causes, strengthen resilience, develop skills, and foster transformation. This collaborative model ensures clients receive the highest standard of care—one that adapts to their needs while supporting lasting emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth.
At Start Up Recovery and Wellness, each client’s personalized plan combines Eastern practices, Western modalities, and biohacking. Eastern practices such as acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, reiki, and Qi Gong harmonize with Western approaches like psychiatry, individual therapy, somatic therapy, and family therapy. Holistic techniques—including chiropractic care, lymphatic massage, and functional medicine—work alongside biohacking strategies like bioresonance, electromagnetic, and red light therapy. Together, these modalities restore balance, develop resilience, and lay a foundation for long-term transformation.
Clients put their recovery skills into practice in a supportive community navigating sobriety together in Start Up’s fully furnished home or apartments in one of Southern California’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Both settings feature modern amenities, spacious living areas, secure access, housekeeping, and gym memberships. Just three blocks from the beach, the home includes a personal chef who provides organic meals. Transportation is included to ensure all clients have seamless access to the Wellness Center for treatment.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Start Up Recovery provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Start Up Recovery offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Start Up Recovery works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
