Why California?
The Edge genuinely believes you can recover and have fun doing it. It is possible to enjoy life without substances. Recovery is a state of being that needs to be maintained, and fun via a healthy, active lifestyle makes maintaining recovery easier.
California’s the ideal spot to free yourself from drug and alcohol addiction, and it’s not just because the weather is nice. Our Southern California treatment center boasts easy access to this region’s many world-class attractions. We regularly spend time engaged in physical activity, from yoga sessions in the park to outdoor adventures like hiking, ropes courses, and paintball.
Southern California is home to perhaps the largest network of recovery resources in the nation. There may be no other place in the country where community support for recovery is this strong.

Year-Round Sunny Weather
Sunny weather does more than keep us happy and active outside – there are genuine clinical benefits as well. Sunshine helps the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a form of depression common in places that experience less sunlight during certain times of the year – particularly winter.
This change in season can also make other mental disorders worse as well. The symptoms of these disorders are often major driving factors of addiction.
Southern California’s sunny weather keeps us outside and active year-round. Exercise and activity lessen depressive symptoms and enhance recovery from drug and alcohol abuse.
