Start Up Recovery

Start Up Recovery is a cash-pay facility where recovery is approached with the same vigor the founders applied to launch startups and turn around companies. Their locations in the Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica serve executives, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, empty nesters, and young adults on the path to self-discovery. Start Up supports clients who are ready to shift from addiction to passion, pursuing lifelong recovery and resetting their focus on purposeful living.

Elevate Recovery With East + West + Tech

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. Alongside 12-Step programming, these modalities restore balance, develop resilience, and lay a foundation for long-term transformation.

Experience Upscale, Community Living

Clients can practice their recovery skills in one of Start Up’s supportive communities. Perched above the Pacific Ocean, the Palisades estate features 7 private suites, an on-site wellness area with sauna, steam room, and cold plunge, and a 90-foot infinity pool. The 8-bedroom home in Santa Monica is 3 blocks from the beach in a walkable neighborhood. Both include chef-prepared meals, on-site recovery meetings, device access, and transportation to the wellness center for services.

Stay Connected to Support

After completing their program, clients can continue engaging with therapy and wellness services. They become part of an alumni community that values connection and mutual support, participating in engaging on- and off-site events, attending 12-Step meetings, and using Start Up’s accountability resources for personal and professional development. Start Up also offers an apartment community for independent living as part of their continuum of care.
