Welcome to Malibu
Detox and Residential
Treatment Center.

Addiction is not having control over taking, doing or using something even though it leads to negative consequences. While addiction is considered a chronic medical condition, it is treatable. Doctors and therapists might diagnose someone experiencing addiction with a substance use disorder.

An addiction can severely impact the quality of your life and put your health at risk. There are many causes of addiction. Some people are genetically more prone to developing a substance use disorder, while others may develop an addiction in response to stress, trauma, peer pressure, or a need for self-medication. According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, genetics can increase the likelihood of developing an addiction by 50%.

The frontal lobe plays a crucial part in the development of an addiction. A dysfunctional frontal lobe can lead to dependence on a substance or activity. Chemical imbalances in the brain can also be a cause of addiction.

There are various stages to addiction. The first is usually experimentation, where you may use the substance out of curiosity. The next stage is social or regular use of the substance while still being able to control the use. That stage can progress to problematic or risky substance use, where you may turn to drugs or alcohol without regard to consequences. The last stage of addiction is dependence. In this stage, it is difficult to function without the substances.

At our drug and alcohol rehab in Malibu, we carefully craft your treatment plan based on your unique needs and recovery goals. The first step is an assessment of your physical and mental health. During this assessment, we will look at any possible underlying conditions that may have caused or contributed to your addiction. We will also assess the severity of your substance use disorder. The information gathered during the assessment is then used to create a custom treatment plan for you that fits your individual needs.

Our treatment plans often start with medical detox, as you can only truly begin treatment when you no longer have the substance in your body. Following detox, clients participate in various evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, equine-assisted psychotherapy, individual therapy, group therapy, and experiential therapy. We also provide creative and expressive arts to help clients access their emotions in a safe space.

At Malibu Detox, we believe that each person is capable of recovery, and our mission is to provide you with a safe place to start your journey. We are here to support and guide you as you work on your healing so that you can return to living a happy and healthy life. Call us today at (424) 234-2027 for more information about our drug rehab in Malibu.


We look forward to helping you on your path to recovery and sobriety.​

We understand that addiction can have a profound impact on the family dynamic, and we also understand how hard it can be for loved ones to watch someone they care about struggle with addiction. We offer a wide range of supportive services to help family members cope with the effects of addiction, including family counseling, support groups, and education.

Family counseling can be beneficial in many ways. It is an opportunity for the entire family to discuss their feelings together in a safe space. During these sessions, our therapists help families understand the dynamics that contribute to the addiction, as well as how to best support the person struggling with addiction.

Support groups can be a helpful resource for family members dealing with a loved one’s addiction. Talking about feelings and experiences in a safe environment can often provide comfort and strength, which can help families cope with their loved one’s addiction.

Education is another important part of the healing process for both family members and the person struggling with addiction. We provide education on a wide range of topics, including understanding addiction, relapse prevention, how to identify triggers, stress management techniques, and communication skills.

At Malibu Detox, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for everyone affected by addiction.
