Westwind Recovery Center Los Angeles: A Historical Overview

Westwind Recovery Center officially began when three friends, Justin White, Zachary Ament, and Justin Wells, decided to open a recovery residence in Hancock Park. The idea was first shared by Ament and Wells when they shared a sober house in Laurel Canyon. They later proposed this idea to White who was working as a Director of Operations at a local detox center at that time. 

With the collaborative efforts of the three friends, the very first Westwind Recovery residence opened its doors in 2014. The three co-founders combined their vision and used it as a cornerstone for drug and alcohol treatment, freedoms, structure, and everyday living with a client-centered approach that they believe was lacking in most sober living houses of that time. They wished the struggling community to feel at home by providing them with a comfortable living space that was free from punitiveness and rigidity and equally focused on the element of fun.

With time, Westwind Recovery grew, opening fifteen different campuses in only two years’ time. It particularly catered to those who wished to prolong their recovery by living in a sober space that they could trust. In December of 2017, the rehab elevated its services, even more, to incorporate other facilities like detoxification and formal addiction treatment in inpatient and outpatient settings with the help of Bradley Athens, a well-known professional at a detox facility in Hollywood Hills. The team of four then worked together while putting their fears aside and committing to excellence to establish a rehabilitation that we now know as Westwind Recovery Center.
