Multi Concept Recovery isn’t like any other treatment program in Southern California. Our innovative, customized approach allows us to treat each person’s specific needs when it comes to substance abuse and mental health.

Multi-Concept Recovery (MCR) offers a comprehensive and innovative treatment philosophy based upon our understanding of the complex and progressive nature of addiction and mental health. Instead of focusing on the symptoms, we treat the whole person and the underlying issues using complementary programs that each individual can choose from.

Our individualized approach honors all aspects of our clients’ lives, stories, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment conducive to recovery and a deep level of personal growth. We do not place our focus on symptoms; rather, we provide treatment, support, and guidance to the individual client and their family. We care. We understand that treatment for addiction is not a one-size-fits-all thing and that each person has their own narrative. If you are willing to change your narrative, we will guide you to a more abundant life.
