About us

We care deeply about the wellbeing of our communities

Compassion Recovery Centers was established in 2019, nestled in the beautiful Laguna Hills, CA. What began as a simple idea quickly grew into a passionate mission: to bring compassion and meaningful change to recovering communities across the USA.

Frustrated by the lack of quality treatment centers, we set out to create a sanctuary that was not only ethical and affordable but also offered something unique and exceptional for clients battling substance abuse addiction in California. Our vision was to build a serene healing center that combined genuine compassion with spiritual, mental, and emotional healing practices – a place where a true sense of community could thrive, grounded in trust, growth, and recovery.

At Compassion Recovery Centers, we believe community support is the cornerstone of healing. That’s why we place such an emphasis on therapeutic and group connections, alongside individualized drug and alcohol therapy in Laguna Beach. We are committed to helping our clients master the tools for recovery, empowering them to live more fulfilling lives, achieve their dreams, and become the people they were always meant to be.
