What inspired you to start this business, and how did you get started?
Temecula Recovery Center was established in Temecula, CA, as part of Generations Recovery Centers, an extension of Generations Healthcare’s nearly 30-year commitment to patient-centered care. We were inspired by the urgent need for compassionate, effective addiction treatment in Southern California. Leveraging our strong foundation in healthcare innovation, we launched Temecula Recovery Center to provide life-changing addiction recovery in a supportive, serene environment.
Can you share the story behind your business name?
The name "Temecula Recovery Center" reflects both our geographic roots and our purpose. We’re proud to serve Temecula and the greater Riverside County community. Our name reflects our commitment to providing a safe, restorative environment where individuals can reclaim their lives from addiction.
How has your business evolved since it first opened?
Since opening, we’ve grown from a core focus on substance use treatment into a comprehensive recovery center. We now offer evidence-based therapies, holistic approaches, and specialized detox services to meet clients’ diverse needs. While our primary focus is substance use disorder treatment, we also recognize that many clients may be managing related mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Our care teams are equipped to support these needs within the context of recovery, ensuring an integrated and compassionate approach. Over time, our facility has expanded in size, services, and clinical capabilities — all while staying true to our mission of individualized, person-centered care.
What is the mission of your business, and how do you strive to fulfill it daily?
Generations Healthcare was founded upon the belief that caring for the sick, the elderly, and the infirm is a special and sacred stewardship. It is our mission to have this belief reflected in everything we do: in the presentation of our facilities, in the professionalism of our staff, and in the daily delivery of care to our residents and their families. It is our purpose that whoever enters a Generations home will be met with kindness, competence, and compassion.
What core values drive your company, and how do they influence your operations and customer interactions?
Our core values are kindness, competence, and compassion. These guide every aspect of our care. We use an evidence-based, holistic approach to addiction recovery, treating not just the physical symptoms of addiction but also the underlying causes, including:

To overcome this, we’ ve focused heavily on community outreach and education, collaborating with other organizations, and creating a welcoming, judgment-free environment within our facility.
