About Start Up Recovery and Wellness
Note: Start Up Recovery was impacted by the wildfire. Some of what is pictured may no longer exist. However, services would remain of similar amenities and accommodations.
At Start Up Recovery and Wellness, each client’s recovery is approached with the same vigor the founders applied to launching startups and turning around companies. They serve a diverse tapestry of individuals: executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, creative spirits, artists, athletes, empty nesters and young adults on the path to self-discovery. Their residences and wellness center are a sanctuary for people facing addiction, trauma, mental health crises, burnout, and other life challenges. They offer transformative recovery and wellness services, expert mentorship, life-reset curriculums, and unwavering guidance toward purposeful living.
Start Up Recovery and Wellness welcomes individuals to its transformational continuum of care who are ready to seek meaningful growth. Clients not only pursue lifelong recovery from addiction and mental health but also rekindle passions and reconnect with their authentic selves, stepping confidently into a future enriched with renewed purpose. To unlock each client’s limitless potential, Start Up seamlessly integrates Eastern and Western practices, life enrichment, and cutting-edge biohacking technology into every customized recovery plan. Their team of compassionate professionals brings a wealth of experience in addiction and mental health, with most staff serving as inspiring examples of long-term recovery, including a hands-on ownership team with over 65 years in recovery.
At Start Up Recovery and Wellness, clients experience a truly integrative approach to healing, where Eastern practices, Western modalities, and advanced innovations collaborate seamlessly to create personalized plans. Through in-depth assessments and advanced diagnostics each client’s unique needs are carefully evaluated to craft a holistic path forward. Eastern practices such as acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, reiki, and Qi Gong are harmonized with Western approaches like psychiatry, individual therapy, somatic therapy, and family therapy. Holistic techniques, including chiropractic care, lymphatic massage, and functional medicine, add depth to the comprehensive model. Biohacking strategies further enhance recovery by addressing imbalances, promoting cellular regeneration, reducing inflammation, and improving mental clarity. Together, these modalities empower clients to restore balance, achieve resilience, and build a foundation for long-term recovery, healing and transformation.

Now entering his third month, my son is thriving. START UP is about the connection my son has with the team. He was lucky enough to develop several mentor relationships. So today, START UP RECOVERY is the only transitional living that I would personally recommend.
