About Renovara Recovery
Built by people who know recovery from the inside
Renovara means renewal. We opened our Anaheim program to offer the kind of treatment we would want for our own families: small, personal, medically sound, and focused on life after rehab.
Why we do this work
Many of us came to this field after watching someone we love cycle through programs that were too big, too rushed, or too disconnected from what came next. Some of us went through those programs ourselves.
So we built Renovara around continuity. The nurse who sits with you in detox, the therapist who helps you understand what drove your use, and the alumni coordinator who calls after you go home all work on the same team, in the same building, and talk to each other every week.
We stay small on purpose. It lets us know every client by name, adjust treatment quickly, and keep the warmth that larger programs often lose.
What we believe
Recovery is possible
For anyone, at any stage. We have seen it happen too many times to believe otherwise.
Dignity matters
People heal faster when they are treated with respect. We never use shame as a tool.
Families heal too
Addiction affects everyone close to it, so our care includes the people who love you.
Support shouldn’t end
Discharge is a milestone, not a finish line. Our alumni community is yours for life.
Leadership
Our leadership team brings decades of experience in addiction medicine, nursing, psychology, and family therapy.

What clients and families say
Recovery looks different for everyone. These are a few of the people who trusted us with theirs.
This was the third program my daughter attended and the first one where the staff actually knew her. She’s been sober for fourteen months.
Detox was the part I feared most. The nurses were patient, checked on me constantly, and kept me comfortable. I never felt alone.
My therapist figured out in two weeks what I’d been avoiding for ten years. I left with a plan and people I still talk to every week.
