What To Expect During Alcohol Treatment at Cliffside Malibu
At Cliffside Malibu, alcohol treatment residents attend group sessions and 12-step meetings almost every day. And they visit with family and friends each week.
Focusing on key addiction-related issues, daily group sessions allow Cliffside Malibu residents to learn and share about the recovery process, preventing relapse, the 12 steps, journaling, life assessment, and spirituality. An experiential group, 'The Games We Play,' helps residents gain insight into their behavior in relationships.
Considering how many years of drinking it took to get to rehab, you'll appreciate how important it is for the recovering alcoholic to invest time and hard work in getting well. Cliffside Malibu's residential alcohol treatment program moves residents gradually to a sober life through three treatment phases. While each level takes about 30 days, the time each person spends in the treatment levels depends on their progress and needs.
In addition to group work, Cliffside Malibu's program address individual personal needs and issues. Beyond group rehabilitation, residents have individual therapy several times a week and a private weekly session with a recovery coach.
During Extended Care, guests may leave the rehab facility for recovery-related activities like 12-step meetings and begin to re-enter family life as sober people. During Sober Living, residents live in a sober group home with assigned household chores and a house manager.
Sober Living is a safe base from which rehab graduates can begin recovery in the outside by gradually returning to work, school, and family. That process lays a solid foundation for meaningful and lasting recovery.
