Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Center Journey Malibu Providing Guests with Nurturing Environment that Fosters Long-Term Sobriety

When it comes to recovery from alcohol and drug addiction the most important aspect of treatment isn’t always the methods being implemented but rather the manner in which those methods are being implemented. It may not sound like a significant difference but the truth is most alcohol and drug addiction treatment centers adhere to similar paths for recovery yet some of these rehab facilities enjoy tremendous success while others struggle to make sobriety an attractive alternative for the alcoholic or addict.

Journey Malibu Recovery Center in California understands the nature of alcoholism and addiction and because of this their treatment program is designed and implemented in a manner that fully appreciates the nature of the disease.

Alcoholics and addicts can’t be scared into sobriety nor can they be educated out of using, the process of recovery must start with an intimate and nurturing environment that encourages honesty and comfort. Understanding the significance of such an environment Journey Malibu purposefully limits its home to a handful of guests who can take advantage of their unique surroundings to build a strong foundation for recovery.

In many cases recovery starts with detoxification and Journey Malibu has a team of trained professionals who have extensive experience in providing support and care during the process. Through a gentle detoxification process the body is cleansed of alcohol and drug related toxins and is ready for healing.

Of course recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction is more than just a physical process and Journey Malibu places special emphasis on individual counseling to tackle the deeper issues that may be contributing to alcohol and drug abuse. Again. Journey Malibu has highly-credentialed therapists with more than 50 years of experience treating addicts and alcoholics.

In addition to individual counseling every guest takes part in group counseling, an invaluable treatment method that ensures the guest that they are not alone in their struggle for sobriety. Knowing that there are other people who share the same problem can be a critical step in recovery and be a essential aspect of preventing relapse.

Journey Malibu doesn’t just have their guests complete a treatment program and send them on their way; they also provide an aftercare program that provides them with the tools and resources they will need to truly enjoy sobriety and avoid any slips.

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 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.
