"The physical facility remains clean and welcoming, but the quality of staffing, structure, and clinical oversight has noticeably declined... At present, there does not appear to be a licensed therapist (LMFT, LCSW, etc.) actively on site providing clinical leadership or supervision."

Rehab.com user review (Able to Change Recovery)

"This facility exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff is incredibly caring and dedicated, and the doctors and facilitators are both friendly and knowledgeable."

LocalityBiz user review (California Care Recovery)

"Sunshine Behavioral Health/Monarch Shores is a false advertising, money hungry company that I would say is maybe a step up from a state run facility... They don’t have enough “beds” to accommodate the amount of people they somehow scam into coming..."
