About Sober First Recovery LLC
Pacific Shores Recovery was founded in 2000 in Orange County, California. The center focuses on substance use disorder treatment as well as co-occurring mental health needs. Pacific Shores Recovery provides upscale, gender-specific sober living for adults working toward recovery. Residents live in separate settings for men and women within a two-story duplex. The men’s residence is located within walking distance of Newport Beach, California, placing clients close to beaches, coffee spots, and boutique shopping.
The luxury setting includes spacious living areas with comfortable seating, a swimming pool, a fully equipped fitness center, and an outdoor patio for relaxation. During recovery, clients may also join outings to local attractions such as the nearby beaches, the Queen Mary, Disneyland, and Balboa Island.
Pacific Shores Recovery supports healing through medical detox and a smooth transition into sober living. The program is grounded in 12-Step facilitation and includes a range of therapeutic approaches. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual and may include individual counseling, group therapy, experiential modalities, yoga, meditation, fitness activities, and nutrition support. The community operates with clear structure, including weekly expectations: attending five 12-Step meetings, participating in the house meeting, completing household responsibilities, working with a sponsor, and pursuing education or employment. Alumni of Pacific Shores Recovery also help by offering services and peer support, serving as sponsors for new clients.
Pacific Shores Recovery is an excellent option for people who want a 12-Step-oriented recovery community. The center accepts most private insurance plans.
