At Malibu Horizon, we use an innovative medical model for alcohol and drug addiction treatment that looks beyond the addiction symptoms to what lies underneath. A very large percentage of addicts seeking a drug or alcohol treatment program have a co-occurring disorder (co-morbid psychiatric illness).
Consider these statistics concerning bipolar disorders, ADHD, anxiety, and depression:
- 60% of the people diagnosed with a bipolar condition also suffer from addiction
- 30-50% of the ADHD population suffers from addiction
- 25% of those diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression suffer from addiction
Anxiety is frequently a common co-occurring disorder with addiction, and may include any one or a combination of the following:
- Panic Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Treatment

Continuing Care
At Malibu Horizon, we begin discharge planning from Day One.
The need to plan what will happen after discharge is very important. Working together we’ll locate the right transitional living program that best suits your personal needs. So you will leave Malibu Horizon with the right tools and a plan of action.
But we’ll always be there for you. In fact, every Malibu Horizon alumni is welcomed back to the program for an alumni meeting once a week. This weekly session is free and ongoing.
We’ll work with you closely to complete any required paperwork or insurance processing forms. Malibu Horizon accepts all PPO and POS insurance.
Program Schedule
As a Patient, You Will Have Questions
Most people have no idea what to expect from a residential treatment program.
They wonder ‘Will there be many other patients in the program?’ ‘What will be expected of me?’ ‘How will I be spending my time?’
Our program is designed to be a small, intimate group setting of adult men and women, with a six-patient maximum enrollment at any one time. This limited number allows us to personalize the recovery experience for each patient.
At Malibu Horizon we never have pre-determined expectations for our patients. We meet the patient where he or she is, and adjust the program accordingly. Rather than using a cookie-cutter approach, we look at each person as a distinct individual.
A “Typical” Malibu Horizon Day
While certainly not every day is alike, we can describe what a “typical” day’s schedule might be like -- including both group and individual activities.
- Each morning, the group comes together for a “Goals” session. Here the group discusses what will happen that day and what each person wants to accomplish.
- Breakfast prepared by the Malibu Horizon chef.
- Exercise is usually off-site and consists of a variety of options from gym classes to hiking to beach walks to equestrian programs.
- Individual therapy at the Malibu Horizon facility that may cover personal and family dynamics issues.
- Lunch prepared by the Malibu Horizon chef.
- Process group therapy session.
- Educational component to discover and learn how the brain is connected to behavior and how the behavior can be modified.
- Spiritual time with meditation or yoga.
- Dinner prepared by the Malibu Horizon chef.
- Evening activities can include a 12-step program, quiet time or a group coordinated activity.
