For
every alcoholic or drug addict there is a unique set of circumstances
that led that individual down that devastating road. Knowing that these
circumstances vary with each individual it simply doesn’t make sense to
think that every alcoholic and drug addict will respond to the same
treatment equally. Unfortunately this is all too often the case with
drug and alcohol treatment centers; they implement
a rigid recovery program that may not always address all the issues of a
suffering alcoholic or drug addict.
Journey Malibu recognizes the flaw in the rigid treatment approach and has embraced a comprehensive
recovery program for alcoholics and drug addicts, a treatment that
is open to a number of programs and modalities that include: individual
therapy, group therapy, somatic experiencing, holistic therapy,
acupuncture, yoga, meditation, exercise programs,
nutritional guidance, ecopsychology, adventure therapy, neurofeedback,
12 step meetings, and a range of others.
What Journey Malibu recognizes is that
treating alcoholism and drug addictions effectively is more often
than not a blend of all of these programs and modalities and because of
this understanding the professional staff is capable of identifying the
areas that work best and custom-tailoring a
treatment program for each individual.
The
treatment programs at Journey Malibu are rooted in their philosophy of
treating the whole person- mind, body, soul, and spirit. By addressing
each of these areas and keeping them in-tune with the rest the
individual has a greater chance at long-term sobriety.
Journey Malibu understands that an individual’s stay at the
drug and alcohol treatment center isn’t permanent and every patient
must have the tools to prevent relapse when they are faced with real
world situations. To help these individuals make that transition Journey
Malibu offers an aftercare program that guides
these individuals through a variety of basic life management issues,
helping them make decisions about living arrangements, employment, and
relationships.
Set in a unique, microclimate that is only one of four in the world,
Journey Malibu
fosters a sense of serenity and comfort within its home. This
environment is instrumental in promoting health and personal growth for
the recovering alcoholic or drug addict and because Journey Malibu
maintains a small, select group of guests at one time the
staff is able to focus on each individual and guide them through the
treatment process.
