About Laguna Shores
Laguna Shores Recovery is a family-owned treatment center offering detox and residential care for only 6 clients at a time in a serene, coastal mansion. They provide highly individualized care for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns while surrounding clients with love and support. With an emphasis on maintaining success after treatment, they help clients rediscover what matters most to them and build lives rooted in presence, purpose, and inner strength.
Transform from the Inside Out with Diverse Therapies
Laguna Shores equips clients with the skills and support for meaningful transformation. In a safe, fun, and comfortable atmosphere, clients engage in evidence-based therapies that unearth the authentic self, healing underlying causes of addiction. Clients receive two weekly 1:1 therapy sessions with an open-door policy for additional sessions. Yoga, nutrition, mindfulness, art, exercise, equine, and adventure therapies ensure well-rounded healing. Both 12-Step and non-12-Step options are available.
Live in Luxury While Achieving Results
Laguna Shores’ mansion sits atop the cliffs of Dana Point and features floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the ocean, marina, and panoramic sunsets. Clients stay in well-appointed private or shared rooms with full or queen beds, enjoy nourishing meals from a private chef, and unwind in inviting common areas both indoors and outdoors. The coastal location provides easy access for weekend outings to beaches, museums, professional sports games, and more.
Leave Treatment with a Clear Path Forward
Laguna Shores ensures every client leaves with a personalized plan for continued care. They coordinate step-down outpatient options locally or near the client’s home, as well as support for housing, legal, healthcare, and social needs. Alumni programs and support groups provide ongoing connection and inspiration, while continued counseling and substance monitoring help clients sustain their progress and lead purposeful, joyful lives beyond treatment.
