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.

Testimonial
I had a really great experience at Laguna Shores. What could have been a miserable experience was made to be the opposite thanks to the wonderful, caring, and thoughtful staff. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone struggling with addiction and looking to turn their life around. Very grateful for this place and everything I learned while there!

Balance Recovery and Career Priorities
Balance Recovery and Career Priorities
Laguna Shores supports executive clients by providing a private, dedicated office space to stay connected to their business responsibilities during treatment. Clients engage in five hours of daily treatment but can manage work obligations by waking earlier, working during lunch breaks, or resuming work activities comfortably later in the day, without compromising their recovery process.
