Meet Mark Manderson | Pacific Shores Recovery

We had the good fortune of connecting with Mark Manderson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mark, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
At Pacific Shores Recovery, we help those struggling with mental health and addiction issues transform pain into purpose.

We help clients learn to identify the cause of the pain instead of what they’ve been using to escape it. By utilizing our proven process, we help them learn how to not just live again, but how to thrive in life and create a life they no longer want to sedate or retire from.

We help families heal as Recovery is all about connection so we help the family and the individual that is with us how to communicate better and begin to rebuild trust. We’ve seen marriages restored, parents reunited with their kids, and generational cycles of chaos finally broken.

What should our readers know about your business?
Pacific Shores is not just a treatment center. It’s a movement that is redefining what Recovery really means.

Where most programs focus on helping people get sober, we go much deeper, helping them reclaim their freedom.

Through our proven process called The Recovery Way, we guide our clients in rebuilding their lives across all five foundational freedoms, which consist of their health and fitness, their faith and spirituality, their relationships, their finances, and their feelings.

Clients come to us at their lowest point often times disconnected and full of shame.

Through our program, they discover the clarity and confidence to create a life they absolutely love

We help them become leaders again, in their homes, there work, and deep within their purpose.

This year we just hit 25 years in the addiction and mental health field.

But my story began much earlier.

When I was eight, my aunt who was the fun and outspoken one in our family moved into my room after she got kicked out of rehab, and a few months later I found her on the floor surrounded by pills.

My mom was able to revive her but later that year she overdosed again, but this time there was no eight-year-old there to get help. This was the seed that was planted in wanting to help families heal.

In regards to the business, it was incredibly difficult to build something that helps people overcome the darkest secrets and what’s causing the pain in their life.

There were years when we were barely holding it all together, clinging to faith, the daily grind, and lots of prayer.

I remember times when insurance would stop covering certain aspects, and it seemed like the regulations in our industry kept changing again and again.

At one point I was burnt out, and all this was happening while trying to raise a family.

This is why I truly lead from where I live, because the exact same Transformations we help our clients through, (which only happens when you face your pain, you live in truth, and do the daily work) became the blueprint for my life and now the entire company, and for our clients.

The thing I’m most proud of today isn’t necessarily our program, although I’m very proud of this…

It’s the ripple effect of getting to watch the clients reunite with their kids, restore their marriages, and go on to live their purpose and go on to help others from where they once needed help.

What I want the world to know about Pacific Shores is this, we’re not just looking to save lives, we are helping rebuild each person from the inside out and every client who walks through our doors become living proof that true freedom and transformation is possible

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First I’d take them down to the beach here in Newport Beach as some of the best sunsets I’ve seen happen over the Pacific Ocean.
Then a nice workout as that is a huge part of my life and what keeps me going and grab a nice breakfast at a quaint little place on the beach called The Beachcomber.
That is a great morning.
For the afternoon, a nice ride on a beach cruiser down the boardwalk which is great for people watching and stopping at the Crab Cooker for lunch.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family (wife and kids, parents), my many mentors over the years.
