To be a drug addict is to spend every day dying a little on the inside.

To be a drug addict is to spend every day dying a little on the inside. To get better in a drug rehab facility, on the other hand, is to be reborn into the world as you used to know it, and your life as it used to be. It’s that rebirth that keeps so many of Cliffside Malibu’s successful clients coming back to the center year after year.


Cliffside alumni are encouraged to return to Malibu once a year to celebrate the anniversary of their first day of sobriety. It’s an edifying ritual, one that keeps Cliffside’s graduates rooted in the alcohol and drug abuse treatment center’s supportive community and reminds them of just how far they’ve come in the recovery process. In the end, it’s that sort of mindset that helps recovering addicts stay clean for good.


Remember, residential rehab is and must always be an ongoing process. No addict is ever “healed,” at least not in the sense that he or she can claim “victory” over addiction. The plain fact of the matter is that addiction never goes all-the-way away, and the only successful rehab patient is the one who refuses to ever give up the fight. If you’re going to stay sober over the long run, it’s going to be because you commit yourself to the long-term recovery process. And if you’re going to do that, you’re going to need plenty of support along the way.


Cliffside Malibu is renowned for making lasting commitments to its residents. The alcohol and drug addiction rehab center’s satisfied clients have learned the truth firsthand. Given the stakes in the fight against addiction, it’s well past time you found it out for yourself.
