Recovery, The Way It Should Feel

We built this program around the belief that comfort, dignity, and real human connection aren't luxuries in recovery — they're necessities. We also provide complimentary transportation for verified patients, so logistics never stand between you and the care you need.

Couples Welcome

We're one of the few centers that allows couples to heal together, side by side.

Dog-Friendly

Comfort and connection are part of healing, and sometimes that comes on four legs.

Holistic Care

Music, art, movement, sound, animals, and time in nature treats the whole person, not just the addiction.

Comfort-First Detox

Detox doesn't have to feel like punishment. Our medical team & MAT protocols keeps you safe and comfortable.

Medical Leadership

Physician-founded and medically directed — clinical excellence isn't a feature here, it's the foundation of everything we do.

Professional Pathways

Built for people who can't step away from everything, our program offers the structure and discretion that professionals need.

Chef-Prepared Meals

In-house chef prepares nourishing meals daily, because a body that's well-fed heals faster and feels more like itself again.

Flexible Tech Policies

Phones and technology are allowed (with limits), because isolation isn't part of our approach to recovery.

You shouldn’t have to choose

Couples Heal Here — Side by Side

We’re one of the few centers in California where couples go through detox and residential treatment together. The people who struggled together can get well together, without ever choosing between recovery and the person they love.

  • Detox and residential treatment at the same time, under one roof
  • Shared sessions together, plus your own individual therapy
  • Bring both insurance cards — we’ll verify them on the same call

Pet-friendly rehab

Your Small Dog Can Come With You

For a lot of people, the dog is the reason they put off treatment. Nobody to watch her. No one they’d trust. So they stay home and stay sick. You don’t have to make that trade — your small dog can stay here with you while you get well.

One honest limit: small dogs only.

We’re a residential home shared with other clients in early recovery, so we can only take small-breed dogs. If yours is a large breed, please call before you travel and we’ll talk it through with you first.

The part nobody expects

A Restaurant Chef Cooks Your Meals

Most programs run a fixed menu and you eat what’s on it. Here you tell us what you actually want to eat — and a working restaurant chef makes it.

Chef Luca Toumadi

Luca Toumadi

Executive Chef

Master Chef & General Manager, Bella Cucina Ristorante Italiano — Santa Clarita

You order. He cooks.

There’s no set weekly rotation here. Clients put in what they’d like and it gets shopped for and prepared — the way it would work if you were staying somewhere good, not somewhere clinical.

Dietary needs are cooked separately

Vegetarian, diabetic, allergies, anything your doctor has you on — those meals are prepared on their own at the chef’s restaurant and brought in for you. You’re not handed the same tray as everyone else and left to work around it.

Your Recovery Path to Healthy Living

Whether you're seeking intensive support or looking to balance treatment with daily life, we offer a full continuum of care that meets you where you are in life.

Medical Detox

Medical Detox & Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

When you arrive, one of our physicians evaluates you personally to understand exactly what you need, and if Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) can ease withdrawal, we decide together what's right for you. Our care team is with you around the clock, and most people stay between 5 and 14 days, tailored to your health and how your body responds.

Residential Treatment

Inpatient Residential Treatment Program

Once you're stable, our therapists, counselors, and experiential instructors build a recovery plan that's truly yours — healing the mind, body, and spirit through a structured daily schedule in the calm, private hills of Santa Clarita. Most residential stays range from 1 to 3 months, depending on your progress and treatment needs.

Aftercare

Aftercare Planning, Ongoing Care, & Alumni

Recovery is a lifelong journey, so we make sure you leave with a plan — connecting you to outpatient and sober living services across Santa Clarita and Los Angeles, plus an alumni program with online support groups and monthly in-person meetings to keep you connected long after treatment.

Care for Every Type of Addiction

Addiction doesn't look the same for everyone — and neither does our care. Whatever you're facing, we have the experience and the compassion to help.

Common Conditions:

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous — our medical team monitors you closely from day one.

Opioid Addiction

Prescription opioid dependence often begins with real pain — we treat the whole picture.

Benzodiazepine Addiction

Often prescribed with the best intentions. Our medically supervised care helps you taper safely.

Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine rewires how the brain experiences pleasure — we help you find joy without it.

Fentanyl Addiction

Fentanyl withdrawal can be dangerous — our medical team is here to get you through it safely.

Heroin Addiction

We know how deeply heroin takes hold. We're here to meet you exactly where you are, without judgment.

Co-Occurring Disorders

When addiction and mental health challenges exist together, we address both at the same time.

We're Here to Support

Physician-owned & operated

The Medical Team Behind Your Recovery

Most treatment centers are owned by investors. This one is owned by the two physicians who run it — and they’re reachable around the clock, not just during business hours.

Dr. Narine Arutyounian, MD
Physician-Owner

Dr. Narine Arutyounian, MD

Medical Director & Co-Owner

Oversees detox and the medical side of every admission. Still practices in hospital medicine, and is reachable by the clinical team 24 hours a day — including overnight, when detox complications actually happen.

Dr. Harout Mesrobian, MD
Physician-Owner

Dr. Harout Mesrobian, MD

Chief Executive Officer & Co-Owner

Runs the program alongside Dr. Arutyounian. A practising physician rather than an outside operator, which is why clinical decisions here are made by doctors instead of by a management company.

We Are In Network with Blue Shield and Major Insurance Companies

We accept all PPO insurance plans and private pay. Call our admissions team and we'll walk you through your benefits so you know exactly what's covered before you commit to anything.

You Call. We Handle The Rest.

Connect with care anytime, day or night. Our team walks you through everything and can get you enrolled in treatment on the same day.

Step 1: Call & Speak With a Care Specialist

Our team is available 24/7 to answer your questions, understand your situation, and help you determine the next right step. Every call is answered by someone who understands addiction, not an automated system or a call center. No judgment, no pressure — just an honest conversation.

Step 2: Complete a Brief Pre-Admission Screening

We'll walk you through a short, structured screening to better understand your needs, clinical history, and what level of care is appropriate. By the end of the call, you'll have a clear picture of what treatment actually looks like for you. This typically takes less than 15 minutes, and there's no obligation to commit.

Step 3: Review Insurance, Payment, and Transportation Options

Our team will verify your insurance benefits and clearly explain coverage, costs, and private pay options. We also help coordinate transportation to ensure you can access care safely and without added stress, so you can make an informed decision without pressure or surprises.

Real People.
Real Recovery.

These are the stories that remind us why we do this work.
