Who We Are
Mission Viejo, CA
Born from
lived experience
Sullivan Recovery was born from the lived experiences of brothers Cory and Tyson Sullivan. Having faced the challenges of drug and alcohol addiction + mental health struggles firsthand, they understand the journey to recovery is deeply personal.
With over 25 years of combined experience in the addiction and mental health treatment field, they've made it their mission to provide compassionate, effective care — individualized, evidence-based therapy tailored to each person's unique needs.

What We Treat
Substance abuse
we treat
Every substance has a unique withdrawal profile. Our medical team specializes in all of them — safe, evidence-based detox tailored to you.
Alcohol
Medically supervised tapering to safely manage tremors, anxiety, and the risk of life-threatening withdrawal.
Fentanyl
Close medical supervision with buprenorphine or methadone support to manage this potent opioid's withdrawal.
Opioids
Medication-assisted treatment alongside holistic therapy to address both physical dependency and the psychological pull.
Cocaine
Behavioral therapy and support groups to break through fatigue, depression, and intense psychological cravings.
Benzodiazepines
Gradual tapering under 24/7 supervision — critical for preventing seizures and severe anxiety during detox.
Meth
Targeted behavioral therapy and support groups to address intense cravings, depression, and prolonged fatigue.
Suboxone
Supervised tapering off the medication while rebuilding coping skills for long-term opioid-free living.
Depressants
Medical oversight throughout with medications to prevent seizures and manage anxiety safely.

Surf Therapy
The ocean heals
what words
cannot.
At Sullivan Recovery, we harness the healing power of the ocean. Our surf therapy program was built by Cory Sullivan — a former competitive surfer turned recovery advocate who has lived the deep parallels between surfing and sobriety firsthand.
Through riding waves, clients build confidence, practice mindfulness, and discover a clarity that comes only from being fully present. It's learning to find calm inside chaos — a skill that stays with you long after you leave the water.

Music Therapy
Steven Shaw — Music Therapist
Sound is where
healing begins.
At Sullivan Recovery, we believe in the healing power of music. Our music therapy program — led by therapist Steven Shaw — is designed to complement your detox or residential treatment journey through the creative act of writing and recording your own music.
Through sound, clients gain confidence, improve emotional regulation, and experience the transformative power of self-expression. Steven creates a safe, supportive space to explore vulnerability and discover strength through music.
