Make a Masterpiece of Your Life

Where creativity, compassion, and clinical excellence redefine recovery

At Creative Recovery LA, we believe healing is an art form. We are Los Angeles’s first fully integrated creative recovery center, combining evidence-based treatment with music, art, yoga, and mindfulness to help individuals transform pain into purpose.

Founded by Cory B. Savage, a creative visionary and survivor of trauma and addiction, our program helps you reclaim your story and discover new ways to heal, grow, and create. Recovery should never silence individuality. Here, we help you express it.

Virtual Treatment, Wherever Care Fits

Recovery does not always happen in one place. By offering virtual and telehealth services, including therapy, IOP support, case management, psychoeducation, and family sessions, when clinically appropriate, our flexible approach helps clients stay connected to meaningful care while honoring their individual needs, goals, and circumstances.

Creativity is a universal language that helps us access our deepest emotions and begin to heal from within. At Creative Recovery LA, it becomes a vital instrument in your recovery journey.
