Start Up Recovery and Wellness approaches recovery with the same intensity, creativity, and precision its founders once applied to launching startups and revitalizing organizations. The program welcomes a diverse community—executives, creatives, athletes, young adults, and individuals navigating major life transitions—who are ready not only to recover from addiction or acute mental health challenges, but also to rediscover purpose, reignite passion, and reconnect with their authentic selves.
Clinical treatment at Start Up Recovery and Wellness is intentionally individualized. Following a comprehensive, in-person assessment, each client receives a customized care plan that may include psychiatry, individual psychotherapy, addiction counseling, and thoughtfully facilitated group sessions. This integrative, collaborative model is designed to uncover root causes, build emotional resilience, strengthen coping skills, and support meaningful transformation. Treatment evolves alongside the client, ensuring care remains responsive while promoting lasting psychological, emotional, and spiritual growth.
Start Up Recovery and Wellness uniquely integrates Eastern healing practices, Western clinical modalities, and innovative wellness technologies into each client’s treatment experience. Eastern approaches—such as acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, reiki, and Qi Gong—are combined with Western methods including psychiatry, somatic therapy, individual counseling, and family therapy. Holistic services like chiropractic care, lymphatic massage, and functional medicine are further enhanced by biohacking technologies such as bioresonance therapy, electromagnetic treatments, and red light therapy. Together, these modalities work synergistically to restore balance, enhance vitality, and support long-term recovery and personal growth.
Clients apply recovery skills in real time while living in Start Up’s fully furnished residences or private apartments in one of Southern California’s most desirable coastal neighborhoods. Both living options offer modern design, spacious common areas, secure access, housekeeping services, and gym memberships. Located just three blocks from the beach, the primary residence includes a personal chef who prepares organic, nourishing meals. Transportation is provided to ensure seamless access to the Wellness Center, allowing clients to focus fully on healing within a supportive, community-oriented environment.
