South Asian Recovery Center (SARC) is a residential substance use disorder treatment facility in Los Angeles that serves South Asian individuals and families, including Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali, and other communities, who need a comprehensive and structured addiction treatment in a private setting that understands their world.
Because SARC is built and led by South Asian physicians, the program is designed with a clinical understanding of addiction as a treatable medical condition, and with a cultural understanding of the pressures that shape how South Asian families experience it, including stigma, family honor, community perception, intergenerational expectations, and the silence that often surrounds mental health.
Our ownership and program design combine evidence-based residential treatment with cultural fluency and discretion. Our staffing model includes clinical and support staff such as a physician medical director, psychiatrist, alcohol and other drug (AOD)-certified counselors, licensed therapists, registered nurses, and a private chef.
