For
many people struggling with drug addiction the thought of recovery is nothing
more than a dream they feel they’ll never attain. Many of these addicts have
tried to get clean in the past, entering rehab facilities or clinics only to
find themselves right back where they started. It’s not uncommon for drug
addicts to make several attempts at recovery yet with each failed attempt the
doubt becomes greater until they simply give up any hope.
The
reality is that drug addiction is a disease and to effectively recover from
this disease a drug addict must receive the proper treatment.
Treating drug addiction is more than just
addressing the substance abuse; it’s treating the whole individual. By
understanding the issues that have contributed to the addiction and coming to a
sense of peace with those contributing factors then an addict has a much
greater chance at long-term recovery.
Journey
Malibu understands the significance of a comprehensive
treatment program for drug addicts and has crafted
their recovery program around this very idea- providing a safe and secure
environment in which a drug addict can receive physical, spiritual, mental, and
emotional healing.
Patients
get a sense of security from the very moment they enter Journey Malibu as they
are provided with a gentle detoxification process to cleanse their body of any
drugs and related toxins. This detox process is carefully supervised by a
medical professional and made easier with the use of alternative therapeutic
support. What makes Journey Malibu unique is the fact they don’t use just a
standard detoxification process for every addict, they take into account the
circumstances of a particular substance disorder and medical history to
determine what will work best.
This
attention to detail is paramount in the recovery process and Journey Malibu
maintains that detail beyond the detox process. To do this Journey Malibu
limits the number of patients they will treat at one time, giving the
professional staff more time to truly create unique programs of recovery that
will make a significant difference in each patient’s life.
Journey
Malibu knows that there is no blanket recovery program that will treat every
drug addict and that is why they have adopted a belief in inclusion, keeping an
open mind about what will work for an addict who is suffering. As part of this
inclusionary treatment program Journey Malibu makes available:

Journey
Malibu has set itself apart from the standard drug recovery facilities, many of
which look for numbers rather than individuals. No matter how many times a drug
addict has tried to get clean and failed there is always hope, and a step toward
Journey Malibu is a step toward realizing that hope.
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 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.
