It is a beautiful place. The staff is wonderful. The tech are very attentive. Ashley and Shawn are my favorite also big Mike. The person who got into this place is the best (ricky) is so down to earth 🌍. He feels very strongly about getting and keeping people sober ! The owner, Tom and Bianca are just as wonderful if not more. The program director I've known for almost a year now and she is stern but wonderful.

Not enough can be said about the Team and Services provided by West Coast Detox & Rehab. Their ability to comfortably medically detox their clients from harmful substances and stabilize them at the residential treatment of care is done with great professional precision.
