Alcohol Abuse Treatment Center Journey Malibu Restoring Hope for Alcoholics, Providing Foundation for Long-Term Sobriety
Alcoholism continues to be one of the most devastating
and crippling diseases facing our nation and while the effects of this
disease rip apart families and destroy lives it remains one of those
issues that often get swept under the rug or made light of in the media.
Alcohol abuse is nothing less than a death sentence and while magazines
may publish articles and pictures of celebrities in various states of
intoxication and television programs may joke about the behavior of an
alcoholic the truth is these individuals are in dire need of help.
Overcoming the grips of alcoholism is not a matter of will-power nor is
it a matter of morality,
alcoholism
is a disease and to effectively halt its progress an alcoholic often
needs the help of an alcohol abuse treatment program.
Understanding just how powerful alcoholism is Journey Malibu has
carefully designed an approach to alcohol abuse
treatment
that encompasses all facets of alcohol addiction rehabilitation. This
means that every guest that enters the tranquil, secluded environment of
Journey Malibu is provided with a comprehensive treatment program while
feeling safe in a nurturing and comfortable setting.
Journey Malibu intentionally limits its number of guests, finding that
the treatment process is more impactful when the guests are provided
with a more intimate surrounding. This smaller group also ensures that
each guest is being provided with the attention they need and this helps
the staff of Journey Malibu better craft a unique treatment program
that works for each individual.
By helping each guest discover the personal, individual form of alcohol
abuse treatment that will work for them they are able to take greater
ownership in their recovery process. There is no singular path to
recovery and an alcoholic’s experiences will more often than not
determine what kind of treatment will be most effective for them.
That path will be discovered through numerous individual counseling
sessions as well as group counseling sessions, all designed to uncover
the issues that have contributed to the alcohol abuse. By addressing
these issues head-on an alcoholic has a better chance to secure
long-term sobriety and avoid relapse.
Of course recovering from alcoholism isn’t all about the psychological
treatment found in individual and group therapy sessions and Journey
Malibu recognizes this as they provide:
-
Reinvention Coaching
-
Healing through the Creative arts (writing, photography, etc.)
-
Acupuncture
-
Yoga/Tai Chi
-
Meditation/mindfulness
-
Fitness programs
-
Nutritional Intelligence
-
Equine therapy
-
Sail/heal experience
-
Adventure Therapy
-
Neurofeedback
There is also the opportunity for guests to enjoy a sauna before a relaxing massage and even access to a private beach club.
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.
