About Laguna Shores
Laguna Shores Recovery is a family-owned treatment center offering detox and residential care in an intimate, six-client setting within a serene coastal mansion. With a focus on substance use disor
ders and co-occurring mental health concerns, Laguna Shores delivers deeply personalized care in an environment rooted in compassion, connection, and respect. Their approach emphasizes not only healing during treatment, but also long-term success—helping clients reconnect with what matters most and build lives grounded in presence, purpose, and inner strength.
Transform from the Inside Out with Diverse Therapies
Laguna Shores provides clients with the tools, insight, and support needed for meaningful, lasting transformation. In a safe, engaging, and comfortable atmosphere, clients participate in evidence-based therapies that address the underlying causes of addiction and mental health challenges. Each client receives two individual therapy sessions per week, with an open-door policy allowing for additional one-on-one support as needed.
Holistic and experiential modalities—including yoga, nutrition counseling, mindfulness practices, art therapy, exercise, equine therapy, and adventure-based activities—support whole-person healing. Clients may choose between 12-Step and non-12-Step pathways, ensuring recovery aligns with their personal beliefs and goals.
Live in Luxury While Achieving Results
Perched atop the cliffs of Dana Point, the Laguna Shores mansion features floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, marina, and breathtaking sunsets. Clients stay in thoughtfully designed private or shared rooms with full or queen beds, enjoy nourishing chef-prepared meals, and relax in welcoming indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The coastal setting also allows for enriching weekend outings, including visits to nearby beaches, museums, professional sporting events, and other local attractions—adding balance, enjoyment, and real-world connection to the recovery experience.
Leave Treatment with a Clear Path Forward
Laguna Shores is committed to ensuring every client leaves treatment with a comprehensive, personalized aftercare plan. The team coordinates step-down outpatient care—either locally or near the client’s home—and provides support for housing, legal matters, healthcare coordination, and social reintegration.
Ongoing alumni programming and peer support groups foster continued connection and accountability, while continued counseling and substance monitoring help clients sustain their progress. With these supports in place, clients are empowered to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose beyond treatment.

Understand Brain Activity for Targeted Healing
Laguna Shores uses advanced brain-mapping technology to identify areas of imbalance in each client’s brain activity. This detailed assessment creates visual insights into patterns commonly associated with anxiety, depression, addiction, and related conditions. By understanding how the brain is functioning, the clinical team can more precisely tailor treatment plans—supporting improved emotional regulation, cognitive performance, and stronger, more sustainable recovery outcomes.
Develop Essential Life Skills
Laguna Shores’ Adulting 101 class equips clients with practical life skills essential for long-term success in sobriety. Sessions cover key areas such as employment readiness, budgeting and financial planning, home maintenance, personal hygiene, self-care, meal preparation, and establishing healthy daily routines. By building these foundational skills, clients reduce stress, increase confidence, and leave treatment better prepared to navigate everyday responsibilities with stability and purpose.
