Monarch Shores

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who want a private, luxury residential setting with a small group size and individualized attention; need detox and 24/7 structure during residential care; want to stay connected to work, school, or family during treatment through phone and laptop access; are looking for co-occurring mental health support; have private insurance or can self pay.

• Not a fit if: Those who need a hospital-level setting; prefer a fully unplugged program without access to phones or laptops; want a larger peer community or a highly social treatment environment; are looking only for outpatient care without a residential stay; want to use Medicaid or Medicare and cannot self pay.

What to expect

Typical schedule

• Structured daily routine: Clients take part in group therapy throughout the day, with a flexible schedule designed to provide structure while still leaving room for personal time.
• Therapy and recovery groups: Clients meet with their therapist multiple times per week, and programming includes 12-step classes, non-12-step classes, SMART Recovery support, spiritual pathways, and holistic care options.
• Flexible technology policies: Because the facility is cell phone-friendly, clients can stay in contact with family and, when appropriate, continue handling work or other responsibilities during treatment.
• Weekends and visitation: Weekly outings are offered, and Sunday visitation is allowed with therapist approval.

Developing your care plan

• Individualized planning: The facility develops a treatment plan based on each client’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Detox and assessments: Detox is medically supported and typically lasts about 3 to 14 days, depending on the client’s clinical needs.
• Whole-person support: Treatment can address both substance use and co-occurring mental health needs, with care designed around clients’ history, goals, and preferences.

Living experiences and amenities

• Private, upscale setting: The residential setting is luxurious, with amenities that include a gym, pool, and other comfort-focused features depending on the house.
• Small group focus: The small size of the program supports privacy, discretion, and more individualized attention.
• Oceanfront facility: The setting adds a quieter, more comfortable environment that may appeal to clients who want treatment to feel less institutional.

Aftercare

• Continuing support options: The facility helps connect clients with ongoing treatment resources such as intensive outpatient programming (IOP), recovery coaching, counseling, or local support near home.
