Personalized Treatment for a Transformative Experience
While every treatment plan is customized to meet your individual needs, we use a Phase System to guide your recovery process. This ensures that each client receives the depth of treatment that our experience has shown can help ensure a long-lasting recovery.
What Will The Experience Really Be Like?
If you are wondering what your experience in detox and rehab will really be like, rest assured that our team at Malibu Detox and Malibu Recovery Center is dedicated to making your stay as comfortable and transformative as possible. Our experienced staff will guide you every step of the way, from initial intake to aftercare planning.
To give you a better idea of what to expect in rehab, we have outlined some of the common experiences that clients have during their stay with us.
Begin Your Transformative Experience
From the moment you reach out to our team at Malibu Detox & Residential Treatment Center, our goal is for you to feel safe and supported. Our friendly admissions representatives are knowledgeable about our treatment programs, services, and amenities. They can help you determine which treatment option is best for your unique needs and answer any questions you may have before beginning your transformative journey to recovery.
Airport Pickup
If you are traveling for treatment, our team is here to put your mind at ease. We want you to feel at home, starting when you’re picked up from the airport. Instead of sending an impersonal Uber or taxi to pick you up, a member of our staff will meet you at the terminal.
What to Expect When You Arrive
When you arrive at Malibu Detox and Residential Treatment Center, you’ll receive a warm greeting from our staff, helping you form an instant connection of trust and mutual respect. You’ll get a tour of the facility and we’ll provide you with a welcome package, complete with a notebook, pens, lotions, creams, chapstick, and more, before you get settled in.
Getting Settled
You’ll then meet with one of our intake officers, who will help you get oriented. One of our staff nurses will conduct a medication review, review your medical history and discuss any immediate needs you may have. Depending on how you are feeling on day one, you will be welcome to participate in informal group sessions.
First-Rate Rehab Facilities
We have everything you need to feel settled here. From fluffy towels and blankets in your room to TV (including Apple TV), and movies, as well as a gourmet chef that can accommodate all dietary restrictions. Our friendly team will always be on-hand should you have any questions or requests. We do our best to accommodate you.
Phase One: Evaluation & Stabilization
Medically Supervised Detoxification
At Malibu Detox & Residential Treatment Center, we understand that the first seven to 10 days are a fragile, high-risk time for our patients. Learn about our medically supervised detoxification.
Full Support During Your Detox
Here is what to expect during the first seven to 10 days at our detox and rehabilitation center:
Close Medical Supervision
At Malibu Detox, our medical director specializes in addiction medicine and is supported by our medical team who offers around-the-clock support and guidance during this difficult initial period. Each day you will meet with a physician, who will assess your withdrawal symptoms and identify any complicating medical factors. Likewise, our registered nurses oversee a team of experienced nursing staff, providing 24/7 care. From your initial assessment to the completion of detox, we provide daily monitoring to ensure your safety and comfort. Your vitals will be monitored every 15 minutes.
Clinically-Focused Detox
The clinical component of your detox will include a full evaluation (in addition to your pre-evaluation). We have a psychiatrist on-staff and a psychologist on staff who will carry out an assessment. Any mood disorders, anxiety, disorders, or PTSD will be treated by our team on-site. Both group and individual therapy is available. Throughout your stay, housekeeping will be available seven days a week.
Thorough MAT Services
Our medication-assisted treatment services will allow you to improve in safety and comfort, in an environment that you can trust. We operate a very low client to staff ratio, ensuring quality and personalized service, specific to each client. With a dietician, nutritionist, and gourmet chef on staff, you will have access to the finest services as you commence and continue your recovery.
Phase Two: Residential Treatment
Continued Medical Support
Following your initial detox period, we will continue to provide 24/7 nursing care. You will meet with our medical doctor and psychologist at least once per week to assess your progress and discuss any issues you may have. You will collaborate with our clinical staff to design a treatment plan that fits your individual needs. At this stage, our longer-term clients will begin to ‘mentor’ newer clients in a buddy system that clients find effective and supportive.
Individual & Group Therapy Programs
Group and process group therapy sessions will be available to clients based on their different needs, e.g. gender-specific, LGBTQ, race-affirmative, and trauma. One to two individual therapy sessions will also be organized per week. We always take an evidence-based approach to our therapy programs, helping to understand the causes of your addiction.Â
Specialty Groups Available
Our specialty groups include conflict resolution, grief and loss, psychoeducation, neurobiological, and coping skills (emotional regulation). We also regularly offer sessions on mindfulness/meditation, yoga and yogic breathing, as well as fitness for recovery. Finally, we understand how important fun is to the recovery process so we provide regular experiential therapy such as nature hikes and trips to the beach. As you establish your foundation of sobriety, you will also be able to participate in fun group events like movie nights under the stars, at our picturesque mountainside location.
Everything You Need For Recovery
We provide a well-rounded approach to recovery. As well as medication support, group and individual therapy, and our wide range of specialist groups, we offer the following services: aftercare planning, family education, and creative expression (creative writing, art therapy, talent shows, music therapy). We also provide spiritual and religious support; we have a non-denominational spiritual advisor who regularly meets with clients at our center.
Supporting Your Sobriety
At Malibu Detox & Residential Treatment Center, we will support you as your condition improves and you plan ongoing support after you leave our inpatient treatment center. To successfully support your sobriety, we encourage you to continue treatment within our lower levels of care.
Phase Three: Outpatient Treatment
Planning for a Bright Future
We understand that the transition from inpatient treatment can be challenging, which is why we offer continued support and guidance within our outpatient rehab, Malibu Recovery Center. To help you plan for your future, our outpatient treatment programs provide a safe and structured space that focuses on relapse prevention, goal setting, problem-solving, and support.
Continuing Care
As part of the continuum of care, outpatient programs are an important part of addiction recovery. Continuing care allows you to build upon your successes at our center and return to leading a fulfilling, addiction-free lifestyle. At Malibu Recovery Center, we provide a full scope of outpatient programs including partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and traditional outpatient.
More Freedom to Heal
As your stay at our outpatient treatment center progresses, you will be afforded more autonomy while continuing to benefit from our community-based treatment environment. Throughout outpatient, daily group therapy will continue (with access to different groups as required), as will your individual therapy sessions. At the same time, you will also gain access to more freedoms as you progress through each level of care. For instance, clients in our outpatient programs can return home or to a sober living environment after participating in daily treatment sessions.
Long-Term Strategies
During PHP, IOP, OP, we provide continued support at our outpatient treatment center. This support comes in the form of medication management, addiction counseling, education, therapy, and additional community support such as Alcoholics Anonymous, SMART Recovery, Refuge Recovery, and others. These outpatient rehab services help you add more skills and strategies to your recovery toolbox. Everything you learn at our rehab centers — from journaling and breathwork to cognitive reframing — works to promote your long-term recovery and personal growth.
Smart Planning
As your recovery progresses, our team will begin collaborating with you in planning your post-treatment plan. In doing so, we will help with job searching and exit planning. Our team will help to match you with local sober living homes and resource centers to support your recovery once you complete our programs. In understanding the importance of a strong aftercare plan, we always ensure that each client has access to everything they need to support their sobriety when they return home.
Phase Four: Post-Treatment
Launching Your New Future
As your stay at Malibu Detox and Malibu Recovery Center comes to an end, you will establish the necessary foundational practices to continue living a healthy, alcohol and drug-free lifestyle. Together, we will ensure that you stay on the right track.
Important Foundational Practices
You will continue with your usual daily practices as your stay comes to an end, such as meditation, processing, and journaling. As you transition from treatment to returning home, we will help you to establish a number of foundational practices.
These include going to meetings (such as Alcoholics Anonymous), establishing healthy connections that benefit your ongoing recovery, understanding the value of time management in your daily life, finding a healthy work/life balance, embracing your spirituality, eating healthy, and maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.
Connect With Our Alumni Network
We advocate the importance of structure, support, accountability, and containment as you continue your recovery outside of our Center. A key part of this is to connect with our active Alumni network. The long-term goal of being an alumnus is to foster long-term friendships, attend group events, and give back to your community
Our Helping Hands Project matches discharging clients with other local alumni. Our online Alumni Portal will allow past clients to connect with each other, share stories and resources, and support each other on their respective recovery journeys.Â
At Malibu Detox & Residential Treatment Center, we understand that full recovery does not occur overnight. It takes time and patience to overcome the challenges you have faced. Our on-site services and support, coupled with our focus on continued treatment, will allow you to overcome your addiction and return to a normal, healthy, and fulfilling life.
