Stability
A well-maintained, substance-free home provides a consistent setting for everyday routines.
About Citronia Recovery
A home created from recovery and family experience.
Zack Zulkiewicz and his stepfather, Bill S., founded Citronia together. Zack brought his own recovery experience; Bill brought the perspective of a family member who had supported him.
The story
One family’s experience led to Citronia.
Zack moved from Connecticut to Los Angeles in 2015, became active in the local sober community, and worked at a rehabilitation center. His own recovery experience drew him toward creating a stable home for people continuing their recovery.
Bill supported Zack as a family member and brought an operational and financial perspective as a CPA. Together, they founded Citronia in 2017. Zack now serves as Founder and Operations Manager, while Bill serves as Founder and Chief Financial Officer.
Today, the team sets clear expectations with residents, talks through practical questions with families and referral professionals, and helps residents connect with independent care when needed.

Citronia’s role
The home and outside care.
Citronia provides sober living housing, not medical or clinical treatment.
Citronia provides
Substance-free housing, a shared-home environment, practical structure, and clear expectations for daily life.
Independent providers handle
Clinical assessments and services, treatment recommendations, admission decisions, insurance participation, and billing.
Through years of work in the Los Angeles recovery community, Citronia has built trusted working relationships with independent outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) providers.
Depending on the provider, services may include substance-use treatment, mental-health care, and support when both needs occur together, along with related behavioral-health services.
When outside care may help, Citronia can coordinate an introduction.
