Healthy Lifestyles Program

Good Nutrition

An essential part of learning to live a healthy new lifestyle is proper nutrition. Our program is designed to help you feel strong and energetic and incorporates nutritious food that is lovingly prepared, tastes great and helps your body detoxify. Malibu Horizon provides healthy nutritious meals every day for each client. Clients are always asked if they have special dietary needs or favorite foods that we need to be aware of. Each meal is beautifully prepared from the freshest ingredients. Each meal is carefully planned to include the right amount of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals for maintaining good health.

Trips to the Ocean

Spending time near the ocean is naturally calming and an ideal way to get in touch with your own rhythms. On alternate days when you're not in the health club, our Activities Director takes our clients to the beach. Clients can take walks or jog, swim, snorkel or just relax in the sunshine.

Regular Activities to Strengthen the Body and Mind

On alternate days, clients attend our Health Club for physical exercise. Each client is encouraged to work at his/her own pace and level of ability. Our trainers are readily available to assist in developing individual fitness programs and coaching. The health club is fully equipped with the state-of-the-art equipment including treadmills, spinning gear, mats and weight machines.

Preparing for Success in the Real World

A healthy lifestyle includes effective time management and a balanced combination of physical exercise, entertainment, hobbies, outdoor activities, as well as eating, sleeping and positive personal interactions each day. At Malibu Horizon, our clients live in a community which integrates routine into a new, healthy, active lifestyle. Maintaining sobriety is a lifetime commitment. Our Healthy Lifestyles Program facilitates a return to the “everyday world” long before the client leaves the program. On Sundays, Dr. Weyland, our Associate Clinical Director, takes the clients on therapeutic outings. We visit places like the Getty Museum, and we take walks in downtown Santa Barbara. Clients receive " talking and walking therapy " from Dr. Weyland while experiencing sobriety in the real world. We also take our clients to restaurants so they can encounter and experience social situations, without drinking alcohol. For many clients, this is a new experience and it’s an important part of therapy.

Developing self-esteem is an essential component in the healing process

Here, clients learn to live and thrive in a clean and sober environment. As your health improves, your thinking will become clear. Your patterns of behavior will alter in positive ways, ensuring successful, long-term recovery. Incorporating healthy habits into a client's daily routine is a very important element of our comprehensive treatment program.

We help you feel strong and energetic, naturally

Our attentive staff guides our clients to wellness with a combination of biological, psychological and social-conditioning processes to successfully treat all aspects of their addiction. Each day is a balance of therapies, group activities, fitness classes, golf, hiking, yoga, music, bowling, and other adventures. We also offer unique therapeutic activities like equine and art therapy which allow our clients to tap into their creative talents and have fun in recovery. At Malibu Horizon, we believe that recovery involves healing the body, mind, and spirit. Our Healthy Lifestyles is a holistic wellness program that will help to condition and nourish both your body and your soul. Our luxurious facilities and beautifully landscaped grounds provide a serene and peaceful environment which encourages healing on many levels. Our comprehensive treatment program is designed to incorporate healthy activities into each day. Many people who have abused drugs or alcohol have also neglected their personal health. By providing nutritious and deliciously prepared food, and a variety of fun recreational and fitness activities, we help our clients feel good again.

Golf

Some of our clients are avid golfers. If you're one of them, bring your clubs. There are some beautiful golf courses in the area.
