Our History

Compassion Recovery Centers was established in 2019. Located in beautiful Laguna Hills, CA, Compassion began as an idea, born out of an intense desire for bringing compassion and change to our recovering communities across the USA.

Frustrated by the lack of quality treatment centers, we sought to provide a refuge that was ethical, affordable & provided something unique and great for our clients struggling with substance abuse addiction in California. A serene healing center that combined real compassion with spiritual, mental, and emotional healing modalities. A place where we could build a real community – with trust, growth, and recovery as its pillars.

We care deeply about the wellbeing of our communities

We know that community support represents the cornerstone of healing. That’s why Compassion Recovery Center emphasizes therapeutic and group connections, along with individual and personalized drug and alcohol therapy in Laguna Beach.

We help our clients master the tools for recovery – learning how to live a more fulfilling life, achieving their dreams, and becoming the person they were always truly meant to be.
