Social Model Recovery Systems is a nonprofit behavioral health organization that provides substance use and co-occurring mental health treatment services across multiple locations in Los Angeles County, including its El Monte facility. Founded in 1986, the organization operates under a social model of recovery, which emphasizes peer support, shared responsibility, and community involvement as key parts of the healing process. Programs are offered in residential, outpatient, and day treatment settings, allowing individuals to receive care based on their personal recovery needs and circumstances.
At the El Monte location, services focus on helping individuals address challenges related to alcohol or drug use while building practical life skills that support long-term stability. Treatment commonly includes group counseling, individual support, education, and structured daily activities designed to encourage accountability and personal growth. The organization also connects participants with community resources such as housing assistance, vocational support, and mental health services when appropriate. Social Model Recovery Systems operates as a 501 nonprofit and delivers services through a network of programs intended to support recovery within a collaborative and community-based environment.
