At California Care Recovery, the mission to provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals battling addiction and mental health issues is led by a team of dedicated professionals. At the heart of this mission is Jason Bouquet, the founder and CEO, whose personal experience with recovery serves as the driving force behind the center’s unwavering commitment to helping others heal. With over thirty years of experience in operations management and eight years advocating for individuals struggling with substance use disorders, Jason brings a unique blend of leadership and empathy to California Care Recovery.
From Personal Struggle to Purpose-Driven Leadership
Jason Bouquet’s inspiration for founding California Care Recovery comes from his own journey through addiction and recovery. He recognizes the challenges people face when struggling with substance use disorder (SUD), and it’s this understanding that fuels his passion for helping others. Jason’s leadership at California Care Recovery is deeply informed by his personal experiences, and his mission is clear: to provide a place where individuals in recovery feel supported, understood, and given the tools they need to heal.
Jason explains, “The inspiration was through my own personal journey of recovery. What keeps me passionate about this work is the drive to help others and make sure they have a place to recover that cares for them and puts their recovery first.”
His story is not just about overcoming addiction; it’s about creating a place where others can reclaim their lives, build healthier habits, and address the root causes of their struggles. Jason’s firsthand knowledge of the challenges that people face on their recovery journey is what makes his leadership at California Care Recovery so impactful.

A Hands-On Approach to Leadership
Jason’s leadership goes far beyond holding a title — he plays a crucial, hands-on role in the organization. As CEO, Jason is involved in every aspect of the center’s operations, believing that true leadership means walking alongside both staff and clients every step of the way. His dedication to maintaining the highest standard of care comes from a personal passion to ensure that every individual who walks through the doors feels seen, supported, and empowered to heal. Through his active, day-to-day engagement, Jason fosters a culture of compassion, excellence, and hope — creating an environment where lasting recovery is truly possible.
“I am a ‘hands-on’ CEO. I make sure that I’m included in every aspect of the process, always working on achieving the highest quality of care for my patients by motivating our staff to be better every day,” Jason says.
His leadership is centered on collaboration, continuous improvement, and supporting his staff in providing the best care possible. By being present and engaged with both the patients and his team, Jason ensures that California Care Recovery operates at the highest level of excellence.
Supporting Clients Through Flexibility and Compassion
At California Care Recovery, Jason emphasizes the importance of offering personalized, flexible care. He understands that every individual is unique, and that their needs during recovery must be met with compassion and flexibility. His approach to supporting clients is centered on building trust, making sure that clients feel comfortable and supported in their healing journey.
“My approach is to make sure we are flexible in-patient care when it comes to accommodating their needs to place them in position to trust us and be comfortable with us,” Jason explains.
Jason believes that when individuals feel safe and heard, they are more likely to take the necessary steps toward lasting recovery. His focus on personalized care helps clients feel empowered and ready to embrace their recovery.
Prioritizing Self-Care: Mind, Body, and Spirit
Jason understands the importance of self-care, both for himself and for those he serves. He knows that in order to be an effective leader and help others, he must prioritize his own well-being. Outside of work, Jason takes time to recharge by engaging in physical activities that promote mental and physical health. Whether it’s playing pickleball or hitting the gym, Jason recognizes the importance of balancing mind, body, and spirit.
“Honestly before work I play pickleball and try and get gym time in. It’s about self-care and a healthy step forward in my daily life that recharges me to push one day at a time to stay motivated to keep helping others,” Jason shares.
His commitment to self-care is an essential part of his holistic approach to recovery. Jason believes that healing isn’t just about detoxing or therapy; it’s about creating a balanced lifestyle that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. By prioritizing his own health, he models the importance of self-care for both his team and the clients at California Care Recovery.
The Power of One Day at a Time
Jason’s own journey through recovery has shaped the way he supports others. One piece of advice that he frequently shares with individuals beginning their recovery journey is simple yet powerful: “One day at a time.”
“One simple important piece of advice has been and always will be ‘one day at a time,’” Jason says.
This philosophy reminds individuals that recovery doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It’s about taking it step by step, focusing on today rather than the entire journey ahead. By breaking the process down into manageable pieces, Jason believes that individuals can make lasting progress toward their recovery goals.
A Vision for the Future of California Care Recovery
Looking ahead, Jason is excited about the future of California Care Recovery and its role in transforming addiction and mental health treatment. He is dedicated to expanding access to care and incorporating new, evidence-based practices that address the root causes of addiction and mental health issues.
“We are always looking to improve and evolve,” Jason says. “We’re committed to staying on the cutting edge of addiction treatment, incorporating new research and practices to offer the best care possible. Our goal is to continue leading the way in providing compassionate, comprehensive care for individuals on their recovery journey.”
Jason’s vision for California Care Recovery is to create a space where recovery is accessible for everyone, regardless of their past or challenges. He remains committed to providing a supportive environment where individuals can find hope, healing, and the tools they need to rebuild their lives.

Under Jason Bouquet’s leadership, this philosophy is more than just a treatment strategy; it’s a core value that guides the entire center. Jason emphasizes the importance of self-care in recovery, not only for clients but also for his team, creating a model where well-being is a priority at every level.
