Drug Rehab Centers in Dana Point, California

I am so grateful for this beautiful space, the amazing team and the way they intentionally care for their clients, and the overwhelming sense of hope, I and purpose that radiates. Can’t recommend LSR highly enough.

The club no one wants to belong to is waiting for you. Let’s be honest: Nobody wakes up thinking it’s a good day to stop their addiction and go to rehabilitation. The fear of losing my old way of living (which wasn't productive or making me happy) kept me looking through the distorted lens of the bottle. I thought other people needed rehabilitation, but South Shore completely transformed my life in ways I never even dared to imagine. The journey began reluctantly, much like the late Amy Winehouse's famous song "Rehab." The thought of going to rehab felt like a last resort, and the stigma around it was daunting. But addiction doesn’t discriminate, affecting people from every walk of life, including successful writers with master's degrees, licenses in medical sciences, and television fitness personalities like myself. When I arrived, South Shore's safe and serene environment provided the perfect backdrop for healing. The 24/7 medical support was a lifeline during detox, ensuring that I was comfortable and safe as I began to purge the toxins from my body. The detox process was supervised by compassionate professionals who made it as smooth as possible. South Shore's approach is holistic, focusing on mind, body, and spirit. The Big Book of AA, which I previously scoffed at, now serves as the cornerstone of my recovery. Through various therapies, including yoga, meditation, and surfing, I found new ways to connect with myself and the world around me. The sessions at the beach were particularly transformative, allowing me to heal in the midst of inspiring natural beauty. My only critique is that due to varying physical capabilities among participants, some of the best hikes and views from atop the cliffs were not attainable due to strenuous challenges. However, this experience taught me tolerance and acceptance. Education is a cornerstone of the program. I learned so much about the nature of addiction, why I drank, and most importantly, how to stay sober. The individualized treatment plans were tailored to my unique needs and adapted as I progressed. This personalized care was crucial in addressing the underlying issues that fueled my addiction. One of the most surprising joys was discovering a supportive community. In group therapy and 12-Step meetings, I found my tribe. The camaraderie and understanding among fellow participants were invaluable. The program's emphasis on community and peer support continues to be a cornerstone of my recovery. During my stay, I learned to achieve and maintain abstinence from substances, develop strategies to manage cravings and triggers, practice healthy coping skills, build a support network of peers, mentors, or sponsors, and engage in therapy to address the underlying issues contributing to substance use. Recovery is not just about abstaining from substances; it’s about discovering a new way of life. South Shore gave me the tools to cope with cravings and prevent relapse. The skills and strategies I developed during my stay have been essential in maintaining my sobriety. The support doesn’t end when you leave. South Shore's continuing care and alumni programs ensure that you remain connected and supported long after you’ve left the facility. The lifelong membership in the South Shore community means that help is always available when needed. Choosing rehab was the best decision I ever made. South Shore not only helped me break free from the chains of addiction but also gave me a fresh perspective and a renewed outlook on life. If you’re struggling with addiction, take that first step. It’s not the end of the road; it’s the beginning of a new journey. Thank you, South Shore, for giving me my life back (not to mention my husband, children, and chance at a successful career!)

When I decided to check myself into a facility for alcohol, I looked into several. I decided on the Cliffs. And am I glad I did. For starters, the onboarding staff I spoke with on the phone to make my arrangements were great. Everything they told me would happen, happened. It only got better. Each and every member of the staff were knowledgeable, wise and flat out OUTSTANDING, true class!! And because of them, I am alcohol free. The small amount of residents, at the facility allowed you to get individual attention. No large group settings, they truly cared about my treatment in every way. Each and every staff member was an expert in their area of care. If you needed anything special they would do what they could to accommodate. I had never been to a rehabilitation facility before and can honestly say, because of the staff at the Cliffs I never plan on needing one again. When I checked out after my 30 days they made sure I had all the tools I would need to remain sober. This place was a true God sent. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
