About Pace Recovery Center

Pace Recovery Center in Newport Beach, California was established in 2012. They provide treatment services to men and young adult men to uncover the root causes of addiction and mental health illnesses. They accept most major Insurance programs and the financial counselors work with you on financial aid to make treatment feasible and accessible.

Substance use disorders with co-occurring mental health conditions are called dual diagnoses. Treatment must occur simultaneously to increase the potential for success. They extend their treatment continuum to specialize in drug and alcohol recovery and include co-occurring and non-substance-related mental health and behavioral health disorders.

They offer treatment plans for young adults, working collaboratively with referring healthcare providers. The trained clinical staff creates personalized behavioral health plans that emphasize continuity of care.

Common mental health conditions they cover with young adult men include depression, anxiety disorders, grief and loss, drug addiction, alcoholism, marijuana abuse, and marijuana-induced psychosis. The program is CARF-accredited and licensed by the California Department of Healthcare Services.

The program uses proven, evidence-based clinical practices and is staffed by doctoral and master’s level therapists as well as certified drug and alcohol counselors. You may receive trauma-informed treatment in individual or group therapy settings, which include cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and attachment-based therapy.

They report a high number of co-occurring conditions including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder.

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

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.

Question iconWho Answers?

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober living homes in California offers an intermediate sober environment that has less structure than inpatient rehab but more than typical home environments. This makes it a good option for those who have concerns about transitioning back to the "real world" after treatment. Residents can typically live at the halfway house as long as they want, if they are willing to follow house rules. These may include a curfew, chores, and maintaining a job.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

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!

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience at Pace Recovery Center, and I feel compelled to share my negative review. It is evident that this facility prioritizes money over genuinely helping patients recover from their addictions.From the moment I stepped foot into Pace Recovery Center, I noticed a disturbing trend. The staff seemed more focused on billing and financial matters than providing the necessary care and support for individuals struggling with addiction. It became apparent that their primary concern was maximizing profits rather than ensuring patients' well-being.Throughout my stay, it became increasingly clear that the staff lacked genuine empathy and compassion for the patients. Instead of fostering a supportive environment conducive to recovery, the staff members seemed disinterested and detached. Their lack of investment in the patients' well-being was evident in their rushed interactions and minimal effort to provide personalized care.Furthermore, the treatment plans at Pace Recovery Center appeared to be cookie-cutter approaches, designed to keep patients in the program for as long as possible. It seemed as though the main goal was to prolong treatment, in turn maximizing revenue for the facility. Each session felt like a mere checkbox exercise, with little emphasis on addressing individual needs or tailoring treatment plans accordingly.Moreover, the facility's focus on profits was evident in their highly inflated prices. The exorbitant fees charged for the services provided were simply unjustifiable. It felt as though patients were being taken advantage of during a vulnerable time in their lives, with the primary motivation being financial gain rather than genuine care and support.Overall, my experience at Pace Recovery Center was disheartening and discouraging. It is clear that the facility's priorities lie in monetary gain rather than helping patients recover from their addictions. The lack of genuine care, empathy, and personalized treatment plans only further solidify this observation. I would strongly advise anyone seeking addiction treatment to explore alternative options that prioritize the well-being of their patients rather than their own financial interests.Also while at pace, mike Tsao was the the lead residence manager of my house, however he constantly abused the power he had over the essentially powerless clients he was supposed to be caring for . During my time there, the most striking example was when I was in the privacy of my own room. I was completely nude as I had just got out of the shower and had the door completely closed. But pace removed all locks to every door. I heard Mr. Tsao knock at the door, I immediately screamed for him to not enter. However, Mr. Tsao was not phased, and entered regardless. He had realized my nude state and instead of leaving the room he stared at me for over 5 very long seconds. I yelled countless times for him to leave but only after the fourth or fifth time he left the room. I had never felt so violated in my life. I was overcome with anger and disgust. After contemplating what had just transpired, I confronted Mr. Tsao. Instead of apologizing profusely, he laughed it off as he knew the power he held over my and there was nothing I could do about it. I was in disbelief and was disturbed beyond belief. I seriously considered calling the police but was petrified of what pace would ve done to me. I felt there was nothing I could do. Mike tsao violated me in ways I have never experienced in my life. I have no idea how many patients experienced mr. Tsao s disgusting violations of privacy but feel I am not alone. I hope future people in need realize how powerless pace makes their clients feel and that they could take advantage of them of them at anytime. I really hope Mr. Tsao will be held responsible but I doubt it. All I can do now is share my story and hope more people never experience what I did.

PACE has been very helpful and offers great programs for mental health & substance abuse/addiction recovery. Everyone who works there is very kind and is committed to helping you out with your needs. Cameron D., the outpatient case manager, has been amazing to work with he goes above and beyond for all of his clients and makes sure that they re getting everything they need to succeed. He has definitely been the highlight of my experience, and I could not be more appreciative of all the work that he does. Overall, PACE has been a great experience, and I would recommend it to others.

My son has been at PACE since February 2023 and I am completely amazed by the recovery and growth I have seen in him. The culture that the team creates is so supportive. There are many staff that have helped contribute to his growth, but wanted to give a special shoutout to the following staff: Outpatient case manager, Cameron Danna - thank you for helping my son get a job, life skills, back working with a sponsor and acceptance into college!! Rita Yacoub, his lead therapist has made great strides helping my son work through past traumas and working on life and coping skills. Alexi Farmer was his inpatient case manager and was so caring in his guidance when my son was going through some of his darkest hours, and helping him to be able to be independent in an outpatient sober living home. I will forever be grateful to the quality of care my son has received.

I contacted PACE about a year ago when my son was going through some serious struggles. We had been through a number of facilities with him without a lot of improvement in his functioning. PACE was perfect for us because they have an all encompassing approach to treat mental health treatment as well as addiction issues with equal expertise.From the moment we called, we were treated with kindness and professionalism. Now, it is a year later and our son is celebrating his recovery anniversary. In addition, his mental heath is no longer a struggle for him and he is settling in to the life he always wanted. A huge thank you to clinical director Will and his team for their continued support.

My son spent 60 days at PACE and the experience was life changing. The staff, especially his case manager, Cameron D, truly cares about the patients and take special interest in their success. Cameron D contacted me weekly to give me updates on my son and worked closely with him in defining and achieving his goals. Cameron D has a passion for recovery that is infectious and we are thankful God put him in our life. Cameron's care for my son went above and beyond anything we could have ever asked for.I would also like to thank Joseph G who also worked closely with my son and further impacted our lives for the better.

3 years ago, I had zero hope for a better future and had completely given up on my life, passions, and dreams. Depression and addiction controlled my life for the entire decade prior to going to Pace in 2020. I'd been to many treatment centers beforehand to no availl. Pace is the only program that gave me long-term success in my recovery. Unlike other treatment centers where you are in and out within 30 to 90 days, Pace takes a long term and steady approach with a community that's unmatched. I received hands-on help from my case managers, therapists, and psychiatrists whenever I needed it. I could tell that these people actually cared. I spent 3 months in Pace's inpatient program, and another 9 months in Pace's outpatient program. Upon leaving Pace, the team helped me build a sustainable recovery plan that I still go by to this day. By sticking to this plan, and doing as directed while in the program, I have gained my life back. I'm passionate about so many things now including work, school, surfing and more. I no longer struggle with depression, and I have a community of people I can call on if I ever need help. I can't thank Pace, Lenny, Brian G, and Alexi enough for believing in me and giving me my life back. Without them, I'm unsure that I would be here typing this today. Thanks guys!

I am a therapist who has been specializing in providing family interventions throughout the country for addiction, mental health, trauma, personality disorders and eating disorders for 30 years. I have had the privilege of knowing the founder/owner of Pace Recovery Center, Lenny Segal both personally and professionally for over 20 years and I know him to be a very caring, ethical, and experienced therapist who is very committed to helping others. I consider Pace to be one of the best extended care treatment programs in the country. I ve had the opportunity to refer many young men and their families to Pace over the years since its first opened, and Lenny, and his clinical team always go to great lengths to provide exceptional care, clinically sophisticated treatment and excellent long term care to young men who are often struggling with addiction and difficult mental health, trauma, family/relationship problems, and/or relapse.Families have expressed a lot of gratitude for the amount of support and healing that happened for them while their loved one was getting the help that they needed at Pace. Many of my clients have gone on to do well in the community, gaining independence from their families, returning to college, getting jobs and creating happy, lasting recovery and transformed lives! I highly recommend Pace! Bob Reid, L.C.M.H.C.
