OUR MISSION: Pacific Bay Recovery will always be committed to providing safe and supportive care while providing the appropriate urgent and emergent drug and alcohol treatment- without interruption. It is further our intent to be prepared to provide emergency intervention and treatment to the surrounding community of treatment programs and possibly the community of San Diego; where possible and when needed.
UV-C Light (ultraviolet light with a wavelength between 200 and 280 nanometers) is a known killer of virus and bacteria. We have installed UV lighting fixtures in all ventilation systems throughout our facilities to ensure UV sterilization. Further UV treatment availability for hands, rooms, packages, and other appropriate items coming and leaving facilities is implemented hourly. ALL RESOURCES OF ALCOHOL SANITIZERS AND OTHER CLEANING AGENTS ARE ALREADY BEING UTILIZED APPROPRIATELY. We have carefully placed on hold all non-urgent outpatient care to the general public as well as our transportation program to maximize efforts of social distancing and precautionary safety measures.
All recommended CDC guidelines have been implemented at Pacific Bay Recovery, without exception; since day one of the outbreak reports in the US.
Temperature is a tell sign of potential viral infection with this particular strain. We are implementing a temperature check of all patients and staff three times daily, and at any sign of symptoms. In addition, residential facilities will be treated with UV light 2 times a day where possible using the highest quality handheld devices. Appropriate eye protection will be utilized during any exposure to UV light.
As always, we encourage anybody to contact us directly for any questions or concerns, at any point. We are here to support you and your loved ones to the utmost of our abilities.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL S. DUFFY SR D.O.
