Monarch Shores Dana Point

Monarch Shores operates from a cliffside home in Dana Point with ocean views and a limited resident count, creating a setting where people can step away from daily pressures. The property includes private or shared rooms, a fitness center, and chef-prepared meals. Guests may keep cell phones and use computers, which helps those balancing work or school obligations during treatment.

Care at this center combines evidence-based approaches with integrative practices. Plans are built around each person, and both 12-step and non-12-step paths are offered, including faith-based options and SMART Recovery. People with mental health conditions that occur alongside addiction can receive dual diagnosis care alongside detox and residential rehab.

Staff describe their way of working as client-centered and free of judgment, adjusting to what each person needs as treatment moves along. Detox timelines are set individually, taking into account someone's history of substance use and medical circumstances, and monitoring continues the whole way through. Once someone leaves, planning covers referrals to outpatient care, alumni groups, and recovery coaching.
