Specialties
Transcend is a recovery community that operates by the philosophy of «helping people help themselves». We are a full-fledged community with seven homes throughout Los Angeles and a men’s home in New York. Our clients can choose from a variety of amenities such as surf therapy, yoga, gym memberships, and music lessons in our in-house recording studio. Transcend provides two experiential group sessions for our clients per house, per week which can range from acupuncture meditation to goal setting and skill development. We also provide transportation to 12-step meetings, outpatient facilities, and doctor’s appointments. Each house features an overnight awake staff and a full-time chef that prepares healthy meals every evening.
Transcend believes that a combination of accountability and community provides the best recovery experience possible. We work with several charities and an on-site life coach to help our clients experience purpose on a deeper level. Transcend also hosts many fun and engaging activities for our clients, including holiday parties, ski and camping trips, and hangouts at the beach. Vocational and life skill training is a very important part of the recovery program. All too often, young adults effected by addiction miss out on fundamental lessons such as budgeting, schedule management, and resume building. Our goal is to help our clients transition into adulthood with the tools they need to succeed both in the working world and the world of recovery.
History
Established in 2008.
Transcend Recovery Community has been the benchmark for sober livings in Los Angeles since 2008. Transcend was the first sober living in the Los Angeles area to offer an awake staff on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We help our clients create a new and healthy lifestyle by using a three pronged approach of Accountability, Spirituality, and Community. Transcend works with leading physicians and clinicians in the field of mental health to provide a collaborative, team approach to helping our clients lead new lives. All of our Program Directors are educated mental health counselors, with many having gone through the recovery process themselves.
Meet the Business Owner
Asher G.
Business Owner
After years of working in real estate and investments, Asher struggled to manage the stress and pressure of his personal and professional life. This struggle quickly turned into various addictions and Asher found himself in desperate need of recovery help. By working closely with an addiction therapist, Asher eventually found his path to sobriety and committed himself to helping others: «Upon getting sober I started studying with Rabbi Mark Borowitz of Beit T’Shuvah and I found myself part of an amazing community. I learned about myself that in order for me to survive and thrive, I needed to help others. Through the Rabbi’s guidance I created Transcend Recovery Community. I firmly believe that you have a choice– you get to help other people or you have to help other people. This is the only way to Transcend. It’s all about perception.»
