This place didn’t just help me recover — it gave me my life back. Samantha, my therapist, is incredible — compassionate, understanding, and life-changing. Huge thanks to Preston & Epic Journey for taking me skydiving. Jerry, Mark, Tim, White Will, Black Will, Benito, and the outside facilitators from InnerG- Breath-works and Wellness Jeremy Jackson. Between the therapy, outings, and events, I finally feel hope, strength, and a real second chance at life![]()

Highly recommend to anyone searching for a program. Excellent staff, location and program. A very holistic approach and involves the family as well. The program really provides a stable foundation and then the freedom to transition back to life. PAC Shores also facilitated a lot of fun activities to help enjoy living life again. I am very grateful for the time I spent here.![]()

I absolutely love this program. There are a variety of groups that allow us to learn, open up, and integrate regular life activities back into our routines. The staff is extremely helpful and professional. I would highly recommend this place.![]()

What a wonderful opportunity and experience I have had at Pacific Shores! It is a beautiful, quiet and serene campus. The program offers a “whole body’ experience from one-on-therapy, to educational groups, gym trips, small core groups and outings! Sundays afternoons are for visitors and a “family” BBQ out by the pool. The staff is top-notched….kind, caring and compassionate.The accommodations are very nice and comfortable. It really feels like living in a home that feels safe, welcoming and encouraging. I highly recommend Pacific Shores if you are looking to begin a life changing experience!![]()

Pac Shores / Sober First provided a comfortable, positive, and caring environment that allowed me to focus purely on my sobriety. The groups and therapy challenged my old beliefs and provided the tools necessary for not only long-term sobriety but a purpose-filled life, also. Laura and Mark continue to motivate and inspire me to this day. Forever grateful!![]()
