❤️ This place is amazing. The staff, the programs, the therapy, it's all the things I never knew I wanted or needed to help myself. The knowledge, compassion, creativity, and diversity of the staff is incredible. They don't treat you like a job and task to finish so they can go home, they treat you like a person.
Pacific Shores is amazing! I had an incredible case manager I want to give a shout out to named Adriana! Adriana, thank you from the bottom of my heart! My therapist Lynn helped me see things about myself that I had never thought about and have now helped me love myself and love my family even more than I thought was possible.
Excellent place for recovery. There's a plentiful of staff around to deal with your needs including special runs to the store for your personal asks. There's great nurses and detox specialists onsite to deal with your medical needs. Amazing therapists too.
This is a really a great experience. They have great employees willing to help with your problems and get through life sober. This is a great place to be. Thanks again, Pacific Shores!!
A great example of a great rehab. Clinically the staff here are going above and beyond. My case manager is attentive and if you get Adriana you're in good hands, but all staff here care about the clients. There's a pool for the warmer days and beach outings twice a week, sometimes three times.
I've had an amazing time here at Pacific Shores. The staff and the structure have really set me up for success for the long run. I'm appreciative of Pacific Shores for the PHP and IOP program. It works if you put the work in.
This is the best treatment center I have been to. I stayed 7 months and in that time I was able to make real progress mentally, physically, and emotionally. I feel like every day spent here has been a huge help in my life. Great staff, great environment, and great groups.
