Premier Substance Abuse Drug Alcohol Rehab Treatment Center Recovery Program
Malibu Horizon offers the most effective, research-based alcohol and drug treatment. Our clinical team is a handpicked group of caring, experienced, professionals, unmatched in the industry. Every aspect of Malibu Horizon's program has been researched and proven to work. By focusing on the root cause of an individual patient's issues, our staff is able to identify and carefully address the core patterns that have caused a continual return to self-destructive behaviors. Empowering clients in their search for increasing insight and awareness, we focus directly and indirectly on motivation. The level of motivation must remain high so that clients can put into their recovery program what they are learning in therapy. At Malibu Horizon, we do not believe in superficial advice or magical cures. Our philosophy revolves around providing a therapeutic environment where real behavioral change and personality changes do happen. Malibu Horizon is a non 12-step, addiction treatment center, based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET). Our evidenced based, individualized, therapy based approach, offers the best all-around rehab program for treating each client as a unique individual. Malibu Horizon is not opposed or against the 12 steps. Most other non 12 step rehabs believe in mystical cures or simply willing the addiction away. more
Individual 1 on 1 Therapy
At Malibu Horizon we treat the whole patient, not just their substance abuse or mental disorder. Addiction is a chronic medical condition, a bonafide disease. Just as hypertension and asthma have biological, psychological and social components, so does alcoholism and addiction. The diabetic can
live a normal life with life adjustments and the recovering alcoholic or addict can live a normal life, by making their own life adjustments. Each client is
treated as a unique individual, for all their issues. read more
Non 12-Step Program
Malibu Horizon uses clinical therapy and real self-empowerment, not just the 12-steps, as the basis for recovery. We realize AA and the 12 step model are not for everyone. Our clients frequently consist of very intelligent people, many of whom come here for treatment because they have not found success in other programs. Malibu Horizon is in no way opposed to the 12 steps, we simply consider it aftercare, not treatment. Instead, we offer clients the opportunity to learn about the SMART Recovery program. read more
Treating Psychological Issues
Depression, Bi-polar Anxiety and other mood disorders often occur in people who abuse drugs and/or alcohol. A dual diagnosis occurs when someone
has both an alcohol and/or drug problem and a psychiatric condition. The psychiatric condition could include depression, bi-polar, anxiety, panic,
ADHD and others. Dual Diagnosis is when two disorders or illnesses occur in the same person, simultaneously. Both conditions must be
treated simultaneously, if a person is going to achieve real, lasting success. read more
