Monarch Shores

For people looking to get away and get healthy, Monarch Shores Recovery features eight houses in sunny Southern California that provide different levels of treatment. Each house is more like a home than a hospital, with comfortable areas to sleep, eat, and gather.

Depending on insurance and availability, people may share a room with another person or have their own rooms. Houses are accessible to the beach, recreation areas, and scenic views, but are also located near medical facilities and other necessities.

Experienced, compassionate staff members at Monarch Shores Recovery provide effective care. Case workers assist clients through all stages of their treatment and help them find further help after they leave the center.

Monarch’s doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals monitor clients’ physical conditions, while therapists and behavioral health technicians assess and treat their mental health. Other skilled staff members prepare meals and work to provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment.

Clients have access to yoga instructors, personal fitness trainers, acupuncture specialists, and a pool while staying at Monarch Shores Recovery. Different houses might provide opportunities to walk along the beach, watch whales, or enjoy a restful natural setting.

Gathering areas, family-style meals, and group activities encourage clients to spend time with their peers. As clients heal physically and mentally, they have more options for recreation and exploring the center’s offerings.

Life at Monarch Shores Recovery begins during the intake process, when clients sign forms, undergo face-to-face assessments, and see staff members to discuss their substance use, mental and physical health, and legal issues.

Clients also meet with case managers within their first 72 hours, a time when staff members will also check on them. If clients need to remove drugs or alcohol from their bodies, they’ll undergo detox procedures that may include prescription medications to curb their cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

While treatment programs vary, Monarch Shores Recovery clients typically participate in group therapy to understand their addictions and how to manage them. They may also engage in family therapy to learn about addiction and build positive relationships.

Clients also participate in sobriety support groups to receive peer support and learn how to navigate challenges and prevent relapses. After their addiction treatment, they may receive additional mental health treatment for issues that could affect their sobriety.

Monarch Shores Recovery offers professionalism every step of the way. Drivers escort clients to and from the center. Once they arrive, clients meet friendly, experienced workers. The workers ask detailed questions to make treatment more effective and comfortable and check with clients after that.

Clients may undergo detox and move to other houses in the facility as they heal. They’ll meet with therapists, behavioral health technicians, other staff members, and fellow clients to help them recover and build new lives.

Although the houses at Monarch Shores Recovery are treatment facilities, they’re also temporary homes. They’re more like hotels than a hospital or clinic. While staying at the houses, clients eat freshly prepared meals, relax in inviting gathering areas, and sleep in cozy beds.

They’ll be staying in houses in sunny coastal areas that can boost the mood and serve as much-needed getaways from the struggles of addiction. Such surroundings and comfort create an environment that can help clients relax and heal.

To make Monarch Shores Recovery feel even more homelike, clients can bring comfortable clothes and bathing suits to participate in treatments and activities. They can also bring photos, journals, and electronic communication devices to remind them of their loved ones and why they want to recover.

If they’re unsure about what to bring, they could contact staff members at Monarch Shores, who are always happy to answer any questions, address any concerns, or assist people in any way.
