About

About A Better Life Recovery LLC A Mission for Michael

A Better Life Recovery LLC, operating as A Mission for Michael, is a men’s residential addiction treatment program located on Rancho Viejo Road in San Juan Capistrano, California. The center serves adult men throughout Orange County who are dealing with chemical dependency, behavioral health concerns, and depression-driven substance use as a dual diagnosis.

The clinical model is built around four pillars: evidence-based treatment, individualized treatment planning, diverse therapeutic methods, and a structured focus on physical health. Care progresses from medical detox through residential inpatient rehab and medication-assisted treatment as appropriate, with each client’s length of stay calibrated to clinical need — typically one to six months or longer. Founder and Executive Director David Munce (CADC-II) leads a clinical team that includes co-founder Jeff Robbins, Chief Psychologist Dr. Meghan Marcum, Case Manager Victor Georgesco (CADC II), and clinician Brett Allen (CATC-R SUD).

A Mission for Michael’s defining feature is its reintegration model. Once primary clinical work is complete, men step into a structured reintegration phase designed to help them re-enter careers, return to higher education, and rebuild family and community life. This emphasis on durable, long-term function — rather than simple abstinence at discharge — runs through every phase of the program.

The facility is fully licensed in California and accredited by both CARF and the Joint Commission. The program is in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Health Net, Kaiser Permanente, UnitedHealthcare, and TRICARE, and accepts many additional PPO plans on an out-of-network basis. Admissions and insurance verification are available at (866) 278-8804.
