Meet the Team: Mathias Honarvar, Lead Admissions Coordinator

At California Care Recovery, our mission is powered by the incredible individuals who dedicate their lives to helping others find healing. While clinical care is vital, the journey often begins with that very first phone call—a moment of vulnerability met with understanding. This quarter, we are proud to spotlight a team member who is often the first voice of hope for our clients and their families: Mathias Honarvar, our Lead Admissions Coordinator.

Compassion Rooted in Experience

Mathias serves as the Lead Admissions Coordinator at California Care, where his dedication and professionalism set the tone for our entire admissions team. In a role that requires navigating complex emotions and urgent needs, Mathias brings a steady hand and an open heart.

What makes Mathias truly exceptional is the unique perspective he brings to his work. Having overcome his own struggles, he offers an authentic understanding to individuals and families navigating the challenges of addiction and recovery. He doesn’t just sympathize with what our clients are going through; he empathizes deeply because he has walked a similar path.

A Pillar in the Orange County Recovery Community

Mathias’s impact extends far beyond the admissions desk; he is a trusted and active figure within the vibrant Orange County recovery community. In a region known for its extensive network of sober support, Mathias has built a reputation for empathy, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to helping others find their footing.

His deep connection to the local area allows him to guide families not just through our admissions process, but through the broader landscape of addiction resources in Southern California. His lived experience, combined with years of expertise in customer service and recovery work, allows him to offer both compassion and practical guidance in every interaction. Whether he is helping a family in Mission Viejo navigate complex insurance benefits or listening to the fears of a parent in San Clemente, his ability to connect stems from his personal journey, reinforcing his belief that lasting change is possible right here at home.

Finding Balance on the Coast

At California Care Recovery, we believe that sustainable recovery requires a healthy work-life balance, a philosophy Mathias embodies perfectly. We know that to care for others effectively, we must also prioritize our own well-being. Outside of his professional role, Mathias takes full advantage of our beautiful coastal location, valuing time spent near or in the ocean.

Whether he is finding peace in the rhythm of the waves off Dana Point or enjoying a good meal with friends in San Juan Capistrano, he embraces the restorative power of the Southern California lifestyle. These pursuits provide the balance and renewal he needs to bring his best self to his work, modeling for our clients that a life in recovery is not just about sobriety, but about enjoying the simple, beautiful moments that Orange County has to offer.

This is truly the only residential treatment center that I actually felt a part of the family and I've been to over 10 places. They made me feel welcome from the start and the staff is loving and caring. I couldn't ask for a better experience and I would give it a chance if you want to stay sober. This is the best place to be if you really want this. Peace & love<3

California Care provided excellent service. The team helped me navigate through the treatment process when my husband needed help. They communicated with me throughout the entire process which gave me peace of mind during a scary and stressful time for my family. They took our insurance and made the process as easy as possible. I have nothing but good things to say about California Care.

Look no further, this recovery program is the best! Jason, Holly, Myles and staff make the experience as good as it gets. In terms of treatment, California Care is, hands down, the best in the business.

My experience here was a good one, the detox house was modern and comfortable, the staff is nice and genuinely interested in the success of their clients, and the outings/activities are better than other detoxes like going to the movies, beach outings, and AA, NA, and CA meetings regularly. My only complaint is that in my experience some of the outings were unprepared prior which lead to some improvising and running in circles

This is a review from a mothers perspective regarding California Care. They have been absolutely phenomenal to work with regarding my sons care and have worked tirelessly to get insurance to cover the treatment deemed necessary for his success in recovery. Hollly provided me with updates every step of the way and it never felt like I was "bothering" them. Thank you Holly for being on our team when the world of insurance was fighting against us. Prior to California Care, when looking at facilities to treat my son, I was distracted by the location and the facility pictures. Please don't make the same mistake I did and get it right the first time. This is one of the places that even my son has agreed with me that the staff are very caring and very nice. He actually likes them and wanted to do residential. Any mothers in my situation would know that this is a sign of hope or the right place. I just happen to think this is both and the turning point. To the people and staff at CCR - Keep doing what you are doing. You are giving people not only a chance but hope. I cannot thank you enough. To Jason, they owner, CCR is not like the others... stay that way.

I can’t say enough great things about California Care. I came in here completely broken. They take great care of you in the detox process and have beautiful, clean facilities. During residential, you’ll learn about the disease, ways to cope, get taken to meetings, fed great meals and how to live a life of sobriety. The staff is outstanding. I owe a lot to California Care. Thank you!
