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, California. Established in 1986, the organization operates a network of residential, outpatient, and day treatment programs designed to support individuals whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug use as well as related mental health challenges. Its approach is based on the social model of recovery, which emphasizes peer support, community involvement, and personal responsibility as central elements of the recovery process.
Programs typically combine counseling, group therapy, education, and life-skills development within structured environments that encourage connection and accountability. Services are offered in both residential settings that provide 24-hour care and outpatient formats that allow participants to continue living at home while attending treatment. The organization also provides prevention initiatives, recovery support resources, and community-based services aimed at helping individuals maintain long-term stability after completing treatment. Through its various programs, Social Model Recovery Systems focuses on creating supportive environments where individuals can work toward healthier lifestyles and sustained recovery within a community framework.
