Saugus, California Inpatient Drug Rehab Facilities

Working at Pacific Sands Recovery Center has been an amazing experience, the owners are very involved with the clients and very understanding of everyone's situations. Working in addiction treatment has had its challenges but Noe loves seeing clients change their mindset and overall appearance after the program. It's very rewarding knowing that I helped them change their lives around. When I'm not working I like to spend time with my two boys and create amazing memories with them.
