Introduction
Roots Through Recovery has been providing comprehensive, trauma-focused addiction and mental health services in the Long Beach community since 2017.
What our patients say: Roots is the most welcoming, supportive program they've ever attended. Many have tried multiple treatment programs before but haven't felt understood, or their underlying issues weren't addressed. Treating SUD and co-occurring disorders through a trauma-focused lens helps patients heal and find long-term recovery in a community of peers who care.
What our staff say: Roots has allowed them to flourish in their careers, and given them the opportunity and support to learn who they are, professionally and personally. They love the creativity and freedom they're given in their roles.

Roots Through Recovery was founded in 2013, and has been proudly serving the Long Beach community since 2016. Our outpatient center grew out of an increasing need for the services we offer, in a surprisingly underserved area. We began with treating clients with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, and as the need developed, we added a primary mental health program in 2018, and a comprehensive chronic and persistent pain program for patients suffering these issues in 2019.
Though we have grown in size and services offered, our mission to be the best treatment option for the Long Beach community and provide a path toward a better life for our patients has remained the same.
