I attended PACE almost 7 years ago to the day !! I would never have been able to quit using without their help. I was addicted to crystal meth and heroin for over 15 years. I never thought it would be possible to get sober !! PACE Saved my life. That is all.

When I entered PACE Recovery Center, I was very sick. I had been to many treatment centers to help with my addiction and mental health and nothing worked and I was beginning to lose hope. PACE returned that hope to my family and I. The facilities are clean, well kept, and are amazingly, I lived 4 blocks from the beach. The highlight of my recovery journey was the highly educated, knowledgable and caring staff employed by PACE. In contrast to other facilities I've attended, the staff at PACE want to be there, and want to help you. When I struggled, they were there for me, regardless of the time. I spent many nights on the phone with my incredible case manager, Chris Mortazavi, as well as the client advocate, Drew DelGaudio. Both of those individuals helped save my life, and the relationship I was able to form with them was well beyond anything advertised or expected from the facility. To summarize, PACE is an incredible program staffed by incredible men and women who will support you in this difficult stage of your life. I couldn't recommend it enough, and the changes PACE assisted me in have saved my life. A special thanks to all the staff I had the privilege of working with, specifically: Bowen Rizk, Brian Greenwald, Chris Mortazavi, Drew DelGaudio, Rita Yacoub, and Bryan Johnson. The list of people at PACE who positively impacted my life is much longer than this, these individuals are just a few who were especially involved in my treatment and recovery. I am leaving PACE with ambition, hope, and gratitude for my life.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

12-Step

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

The goal of couples therapy in California is to strengthen the couple's relationship. The therapist may take one or more approaches to counseling which may include the Gottman method, emotionally focused therapy, behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic couple's therapy.

After seeing the program through I’d have to give Pace 5 stars for the groundwork they’ve set for me to work on back in Wisconsin

Pace Recovery Center gave me the foundation to create the full and thriving life I have today. At 20 years old I entered PACE with zero hope and zero desire to be there. Meeting staff at every turn with resistance and defiance, they were able to meet me where I was, with patience, respect, and an understanding of what its like to be me.. a 20 year old with years of shame, addiction, and mental health issues. PACE not only helped me deal with the underlying causes of my addiction, but my mental health struggles, and my relationship issues. This in combination with the community they provided and a community I am still apart of has led to almost a decade of continuous sobriety and a life of contentment that I would never have had. Years later I am still close with the staff at PACE, from the owners, and the upper management team, all the way to the direct care staff and I can confidently say there is no better place for a lost young male, than PACE Recovery Center.

Couldn’t speak more highly of Pace. Their staff is comprised of qualified and compassionate professionals to provide an all-encompassing wrap around approach to mental health and substance treatment. Their model is perfect for the challenges folks typically face when they reintegrate from treatment back into life. They start this process from day 1 and have a long-term continuum to support it. I would recommend Pace to anyone working with a young man needing treatment services. I’ve been fortunate enough to see the outcomes they generate, helping men launch their lives.

Forrest Diddams

I’ve had the privilege of referring clients to Pace Recovery, and my experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. The staff is truly top-notch—dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate. The facilities are always clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and safe environment for the men in their care. Most importantly, their continuity of care is exceptional, ensuring that each individual receives the support they need throughout their recovery journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Pace Recovery to anyone seeking a quality program for men.

Daniel Shea

Stayed at PACE last year— this place was a total disaster. Literally ANY other treatment center would make you more excited about recovery. My experience was miserable. Stayed in an overcrowded, tiny house, was crammed into a broken-down minivan 4x a day to drive 30 minutes to the clinical building, to attend meaningless group therapy. No nurses or medical staff, Nothing to do on the weekends, no phone, we literally just had to sit in an overcrowded house and hate our lives. I don’t think I gained one thing out of my time at PACE— but they definitely got a lot out of me and my family. Do your loved one a favor and send them to a REAL RESIDENTIAL program— not an overpriced, overcrowded, depressing sober living.

I am an alumni of PACE from back in 2015. I have since opened my own center in Austin, TX - Heartwood Recovery. PACE is truly the first place where I experienced fun in recovery. Though I wasn’t quite ready and had a slip after my time there before getting and staying sober, I learned many valuable lessons at PACE. Lenny is a fantastic individual and has created a model that works. Key staff who I learned from and who are still there are Will, Dr. Jeanie, Sean, Brian, Chris, etc. All fantastic individuals. Can’t say enough good things, highly recommend! - Frank Schmitt

Robert Finlay

Our son enrolled at PACE in 2023 with severe mental health and addiction issues. While the process was very difficult for all of us, our son graduated from the program after 90 days, a different person. He's now back at school and transitioning well. Thoroughout the entire process, the PACE team was communicative and supportive. We can't begin to thank the entire team for helping our son!

Stefan Bate

I have known the the professionals at PACE Recovery Center for over 10 years. They are a highly talented, competent and compassionate group of providers. As a clinical professional in the field, I have collaborated with PACE on several complex cases and have always been impressed with their ability to support even the most difficult mental health and addiction challenges.
