This work is personal to me. I’m in recovery from alcohol addiction and got sober in 2025, so I understand how hard the beginning can be. I care deeply about people and aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood and not alone. 

Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, going to flea markets, and playing Magic: The Gathering. I’m always down to play and happy to teach anyone who’s interested! 

My name is Robb Roy, I’m a Southern California native new to San Diego. I’ve been sober since 7/7/21. I struggled with addiction off and on for over 30 years, so I have an intimate understanding of the struggles our patients are going through. I find it very rewarding to help them through their recovery, starting at day one, letting them know it does get better, one day at a time. 

I like to golf, I volunteer for the homeless outreach every week, and I recently started doing an H&L panel once a month. I also love the Padres! 

Gabe Soriano is a San Diego native with strong ties to the South Bay community. He is a United States Army Veteran who has an extensive background serving our nation’s heroes in both the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and the National Cemetery Administration (NCA).

Gabe is an active and sober participant in both Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous 12-step recovery programs. Being of service is paramount to lasting and rewarding recovery. Gabe is someone who always tries to put others before himself. He is busy raising two daughters and enjoys family trips to Baja California. A self-proclaimed “taco connoisseur,” Gabe can often be seen enjoying a taco, or three, at one of many of San Diego’s world-famous taco shops.

Born and raised in Northwest Indiana, Abby grew up in a household shaped by addiction and began using substances at just 15 years old. She made her first attempt to get sober in 2016, when insurance sent her to California to begin her recovery journey. Over the years, Abby attended multiple treatment programs, but it wasn’t until a drunk driving accident on her birthday in 2023 that everything changed. Determined to break the cycle, she entered a 90-day treatment center and committed fully to her sobriety.Now celebrating two years sober, Abby maintains her recovery through meetings, the guidance of a sponsor, and a strong support network. Outside of her recovery, she enjoys surfing, playing video games, and spending time with her beloved pug, Harley. She is currently attending UC San Diego, pursuing a career in Substance Use Disorder counseling, with the goal of helping others find the same freedom she has worked so hard to achieve.

Hi! I’m Sabrina! I was born in Houston Texas but raised here in San Diego. I enjoy boogie boarding at the beach, playing pool and drawing. I also like to volunteer for the Victory Outreach because I have been in those same shoes. I want to give back to my community as my community has been there for me in times of need. I have put myself through rehab multiple times and finally after my third run, self referred, I was able to pull myself out of homelessness and my drug addiction. If there’s a will, there’s a way! I came to work at Coastal Detox of Southern California to help those who are struggling. Every person that comes through these doors, I genuinely care for and will do everything in my power to help in any way.

My name is Mark Foster, and I have been working in recovery for the past six years. My sobriety date is May 28, 1996. I was introduced to Sundance and ceremonial life while I was incarcerated in federal prison at Terminal Island, California. I have been actively involved in Sundance for the past eight years, and it has played a significant role in my personal growth and spiritual development. 

Through this work, I have learned how to stay in balance in my life and to support others on their recovery journeys. I live on the San Pasqual Indian Reservation, where we have a sweat lodge and collaborate with various programs that support sobriety and healing within the native community.
