Structured Sober Living Arrangements Compliment The Best Addiction Treatment Program
Drug addiction recovery doesn't end on the last day of a patient's drug treatment program. On the contrary, addiction is a resilient disease, and real recovery can only be the product of resilient effort. The most effective drug treatment programs, then, are those supplemented by sober living plans and independent 12-Step support networks. In the end, there's simply no other way to ensure the long-term success of the healing process.
Those considerations, in turn, are at the heart of Sunset Malibu's treatment philosophy.
With its world-class caregivers and elegant accommodations, Sunset Malibu is an unparalleled recovery destination. The center has always catered to upscale clients from every corner of the globe. Now Sunset is renewing its commitment to its core values, with the goal of delivering life-changing long-term care to individuals who seek it. At Sunset Malibu, the client always comes first.
"Addiction recovery never happens overnight," said Sunset Malibu Program Director Dr. Georgina Smith. "Our exclusive drug treatment programs are specially designed to help patients stay sober over the long run, with everything from intensive emotional counseling to structured sober living arrangements. It's that passion for long-term wellness that helps to explain our long record of clinical success."
Unfortunately, that passion for long-term wellness is also precisely what sets Sunset apart from its competitors.
Many rehab centers pay lip service to the importance of sustainable sobriety. But few clinics actually put their own principles into practice. The truth is that many of the most heavily-advertised drug treatment clinics in Los Angeles essentially abandon their patients at the end of the primary rehabilitation process. It should come as no surprise that those institutions rarely produce lasting results.
Under the circumstances, argues Dr. Smith, those shortcomings are inexcusable.
"Drug addiction ruins lives," Dr. Smith said. "Drug treatment programs can save them, but only if they're administered with an explicit emphasis on long-term wellness. Frankly, those institutions which don't adhere to that principle simply don't deserve to be in business."
It's no secret that substance dependency is a devastating disease. What might not be so clear, though, is that the right treatment program can make all the difference in the world. Sunset Malibu has a long history of helping clients rediscover themselves as they used to be. As the center's successful graduates have learned firsthand, no outcome could ever be more meaningful than that one.
