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.

Receive Personalized Clinical Services

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.

Elevate Recovery With East + West + Tech

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.

Testimonial
Was an incredible experience. Surrounded by a positive group of individuals with progressive care. Truly the gold star of service. Between their multiple, gorgeous properties, as well as their wellness center in Santa Monica, I felt properly cared for and looked after. If you find yourself in need of support in your recovery, I would look no further.
