Wish Recovery

Wish Recovery was founded in 2020 by a family who spent years searching for the right treatment for their own son before deciding to build the program themselves. That origin shapes the model: a small, six-client capacity with a 6:1 staff-to-client ratio, so care stays individualized rather than scaled to a caseload. Every client starts with full physical and psychological assessments and a formal diagnosis before a treatment plan is built, covering detox, residential care, and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) as a single continuum.

Professional, Evidence-Based Treatment

Care is overseen by a certified addictionologist who conducts each client's initial medical assessment and stays involved through every phase of treatment, supported by physicians, psychiatrists, and therapists. Residential stays run in 30-, 60-, or 90-day formats, with clients attending 3 to 4 individual therapy sessions weekly alongside group, family, and couples therapy. Clinical modalities include CBT, DBT, EMDR, strengths-based therapy, and motivational interviewing, chosen based on what each assessment identifies rather than applied uniformly.

Specialized Treatment Tracks

Wish Recovery runs separate tracks for first responders and for executives and professionals. The first responders' track addresses occupation-specific trauma, including workplace grief and compassion fatigue, in both individual and group settings. The professionals' track is structured to move faster without cutting corners clinically, built for clients who need to return to work responsibilities sooner. Clients in either track may keep phones and laptops during treatment to stay connected to what they can't fully step away from.

Holistic Amenities and Restorative Activities

Beyond clinical treatment, a staff nutritionist builds meal plans intended to support the body's recovery alongside the mind, and the holistic program includes art therapy, yoga, gardening, IV drip therapy, NAD+ therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, TMS, hypnotherapy, and biofeedback. The Northridge property includes a pool, steam room, sauna, on-site gym, movie theater, and mini-golf, private touches meant to make a six-person residential setting feel restorative rather than clinical.
