Medication-Assisted Treatment
Medication-assisted treatment is a scientifically proven technique that helps individuals overcome substance use disorder and co-occurring mental illness. Many patients find relief using MAT combined with other treatment therapies, such as counseling and behavioral therapies, to help combat addiction and mental illness. We thoughtfully integrate medication-assisted treatment to help our clients relieve symptoms and feel more comfortable using FDA-approved medications.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Dual diagnosis treatment is a specialized form of addiction treatment that focuses on addressing both substance abuse and underlying mental health disorders. This approach recognizes the complex link between addiction and mental health, with each often exacerbating the other.
At Malibu Detox, our dual diagnosis program is designed to provide comprehensive care for individuals struggling with co-occurring disorders. Our team of experienced professionals understands the unique challenges faced by those with dual diagnoses and is committed to providing personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s specific needs.
Individual and Group Therapy Sessions
Counseling is almost always needed in addiction treatment. Individual therapy and group therapy sessions are included in our substance abuse treatment programs as they aim to help clients recognize unsettling feelings, thoughts, or behaviors, employing various treatment techniques. Both therapies are part of a comprehensive treatment plan to help those struggling with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Individual Therapy: During individual therapy, clients work one-on-one with a licensed therapist who specializes in treating those battling addiction and co-occurring disorders. All sessions are held in safe and confidential treatment settings.
Group Therapy: Group therapy provides a supportive and inclusive space for two or more peers in the rehab program to come together and discuss their experiences related to alcoholism or drug addiction. This form of therapy can offer insight and comfort while introducing a support system from peers with similar struggles. Group counseling sessions offered at Malibu Detox are organized around various treatment models, such as psychoeducational groups, skills development groups, and more.
Behavioral Therapies
Behavioral therapy is used to identify and target learned negative behaviors and provide tools for changing that behavior. Behavioral therapy helps individuals with substance use disorders recognize triggers or behavioral cues and work on modifying or changing the reaction to the trigger. This type of therapy is particularly helpful for those who struggle with co-occurring disorders such as substance abuse and addiction, anxiety, depression, panic disorders, and/or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Malibu Detox’s behavioral therapies take a two-phase approach to treating addiction – help clients recognize and understand triggers at the core, stabilize addictive behaviors, and provide a clear path to lifelong health and addiction recovery.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Increases awareness of the connection between feelings, thoughts, and behavior. In this mental health model, patients will re-examine negative thought patterns (or cognitive distortions) that can lead to increased substance use disorder and mental health disorder symptoms.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Dialectical behavior therapy looks at behavioral patterns and uses mindfulness to help individuals come to a place of acceptance for the challenges they are currently facing. DBT is known to be an effective form of addiction treatment for self-destructive behaviors and even for personality disorders like borderline personality disorder.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy uses hands-on, expressive tools and activities as a way to open up communication between patient and therapist. This category of therapeutic technique generally does not take place in a typical office setting, as the objective is to delve into the activity and experience, which will help identify different emotions, feelings, etc.
Experiential therapy sessions may take place at the beach if you’re trying out surf therapy, in an art room, or even in a horse stable for equine-assisted therapy. Some therapies are done in the form of group therapy, or family therapy, while others will be one-on-one.
At Malibu Detox & Residential Treatment Center, we provide the following list of experiential therapies with the potential for more to be added in the near future:
- Surf Therapy
- Art Therapy
- Music Therapy
- Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is a person-centered therapy that aims to create intrinsic motivation and increased engagement in the addiction recovery process while transforming negative behaviors associated with substance abuse.
A trained therapist will track progress and implement strategies based on one-on-one therapy sessions with the patient. The therapist involved in leading these sessions will provide encouragement and help the patient find the internal strength needed to combat problematic substance abuse.
Motivational enhancement therapy was created to treat addiction and is most beneficial for those resistant to addiction treatment or unprepared to make the changes needed for lasting health and recovery. It can also help those struggling with co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and more.
Yoga and Meditation
Yoga and meditation offer a holistic approach to treatment for substance abuse and mental illness at Malibu Detox. Our program focuses on healing the mind, body, and spirit to promote lasting recovery.
Yoga and meditation have been used for centuries as a means of promoting physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. These ancient practices have recently gained popularity in the field of addiction treatment and are now an integral part of our program at Malibu Detox.
One of the key benefits of yoga and meditation is their ability to reduce stress and anxiety. Many individuals who struggle with substance abuse also suffer from underlying mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Yoga and meditation can help them calm their minds and find inner peace, making it easier to cope with these co-occurring disorders.
