What Sets PQ Apart

We blend a breadth of expertise, depth of treatment, and length of stay into a proven formula for long-term success.

At Pacific Quest, we do therapy differently. 

  • We go beyond short-term behavioral results and focus on long-term progress for deep healing with lasting results.
  • As a privately-owned and operated facility for over 20 years, we are not a corporation chasing insurance dollars, so our therapeutic program is designed around the individual needs of your family, not your insurance provider.
  • We have successfully treated 3,500+ patients using an effective combination of unique, integrated, multi-spectrum solutions in a beautiful environmental setting.
  • Unlike traditional outpatient therapy or short-term residential treatment, we provide 90 consecutive days of ongoing support and healing.

PQ is accredited as Residential Treatment by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), which is an independent, nonprofit organization that serves as an accrediting body in the health and human services industry worldwide. We chose the CARF accreditation because it's more of a patient-centered care model (rather than insurance-centered model like JCAHO). For this accreditation alone, Pacific Quest’s program was evaluated on over 1,500 separate criteria.independent, nonprofit organization that serves as an accrediting body in the health and human services industry worldwide.

Integrated Wellness

Dr. Konik had a huge impact on our child. After our daughter spent years in therapy, he was the first person to figure out the best method to communicate with her and get results. We developed a great rapport with him and believe that his observations and insight were spot on. His passion for his work and his compassion for our daughter was evident. Dr. Konik rocks!!
