Coastal, Home-Style Setting With Built-In Structure

In Newport Beach, Pacific Shores Recovery pairs an upscale, residential environment with clear expectations and daily routines. Clients live in private or semi-private rooms, share gourmet-style kitchens and dining spaces, and have high-speed internet to support work, school, and tele-appointments. Random testing and house guidelines create accountability without an institutional feel.

Integrated Care With Evidence-Based Therapies and MAT

Programs include detox, residential treatment, and outpatient services, alongside sober living. Care incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation, with complementary practices like yoga, meditation, art, and music therapy. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone, are available when clinically indicated, with support for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.

Sober Living That Bridges Treatment and Everyday Life

For clients stepping down from higher levels of care, on-site resident managers are available 24/7 to provide guidance and maintain safety. The homes emphasize accountability, independence, and community through house meetings, routines, and peer support, helping clients stabilize schedules, strengthen coping skills, and practice recovery in a real-world setting.

Life Skills, Routines, and Community Connection

Life-skills workshops like budgeting, resume building, job search, time management, meal planning, help clients prepare for school or employment. Communal cooking and shared meals foster connection, while planned activities, including beach days, hikes, and movie nights, offer low-risk ways to rebuild social life in recovery. Facilitated access to off-site AA/NA and other 12-step meetings extends sober support networks.

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

The Joint Commission

The Joint Commission is one of the most trusted names in healthcare. If a rehab center has this accreditation, it means they meet strong national standards for safety, treatment quality, and staff training.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
