Our Approach to Treatment
What sets Fresh Start of California apart is our commitment to real, individualized healing. We are a “Real Rehab for Real People”. We know that recovery doesn’t look the same for everyone, which is why we don’t follow a cookie-cutter model. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with compassion, respect, and a team that’s truly invested in your recovery journey. Our clinical staff combines expertise with empathy, providing hands-on care that addresses the full scope of addiction.
We also believe the setting matters. That’s why our comfortable accommodations are designed to be peaceful, safe, and comfortable—an environment that supports your healing. We offer couples and pet-friendly detox and residential rehab for those who find comfort in having a companion by their side, and if traditional 12-step programs isn’t your style, we provide alternative, non-12-step options tailored to your personal values and needs.
At Fresh Start of California, our mission goes beyond helping you get sober. We’re here to help you build a life that feels meaningful, sustainable, and truly your own.
