Above All Else Recovery

Built on the belief that lasting recovery is about more than stopping substance use and involves reconnecting with identity, purpose, and meaningful relationships, Above All Else Recovery is a men’s residential treatment center for alcohol and drug addiction, including opioid, fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamine addiction. Located in Costa Mesa, California, their small residential setting combines medically supervised detox and residential care under one roof, allowing clients to move into deeper treatment without changing facilities or care teams. They take a whole-person approach that addresses physical health, emotional patterns, relationships, meaning, and daily habits.

Practice Recovery Beyond Therapy

Treatment includes individual therapy with licensed clinicians, daily group programming, psychoeducation, experiential therapy, mindfulness and somatic practices, physical activity, service work, and community outings. They also support 12-Step participation through AA and NA meetings, sponsorship, and step work for clients who find it meaningful. Shared routines and family-style meals help strengthen accountability, connection, communication, and practical recovery habits within the residential setting.

Sustain Progress Through Aftercare

Continuity of care extends from medically supervised detox into residential treatment and through discharge and aftercare planning. They incorporate relapse-prevention education, recovery-community connections, and telehealth aftercare for continued clinical support, with providers considering medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options when clinically appropriate for fentanyl-related care. This approach helps men build stable routines, stronger coping skills, supportive relationships, and a practical foundation for life after residential treatment.
