While there has been tremendous progress made in understanding the disease of alcoholism the fact remains, recovering from alcohol addiction can be a difficult and arduous process. What may have once been considered a problem that was more influenced by poor morals or lack of will-power is now recognized as a disease that demands treatment. Separating alcoholism from other disease is the toll it takes not only physically but psychologically, spiritually, and emotionally, all of which need to be treated if an alcoholic is to recover and live a meaningful life in sobriety.
Journey Malibu has pioneered the approach of treating the whole individual as it relates to alcoholism, recognizing that without healing in all areas an alcoholic is likely to relapse. Of course this process of healing isn’t always easy and there is never a blanket recovery program that works for every alcoholic and that is why the professional staff at Journey Malibu carefully crafts an individual program of recovery for each person entering their doors.
These individualized
alcohol recovery programs take into account the unique circumstances that make up every alcoholic’s story. By placing an emphasis on healing in specific areas of an individual’s life the path to recovery can become smoother and more apt to be embraced by the alcoholic.
As part of this individualized
alcohol treatment recovery program Journey Malibu offers a combination of allopathic, holistic, and evidence-based medicine/treatments; each of these treatments being carefully monitored by a dedicated staff, many of whom have their own personal experiences in recovery.
Because Journey Malibu is focused on treating the whole individual every client that enters the alcohol rehab facility is afforded the opportunity to take part various activities that strengthen the areas of spirituality, physical well-being, and emotional and psychological stability including CBT/MET/DBT, Nutritional intelligence program, Individual/group/family therapy, Neurobiology of addiction, Hypnotherapy, Relapse prevention, Equine and outdoor adventure, Somatic Experiencing (Stress/Trauma), Daily Yoga/Meditation, Acupuncture, Creative Arts, and Reinvention coaching.
Of course each alcoholic is also exposed to individual and group therapy sessions, both important aspects of recovery. Through individual counseling each alcoholic can come to understand the contributing factors of their disease and through this recognition find resolution. Group work is just as critical as it helps an alcoholic understand that they are not alone in their fight and builds the foundation for a healthy support network of friends that a recovering alcoholic can lean on during difficult times.
As each patient progresses through their
alcohol treatment program they will also be given the tools to prevent a relapse. Journey Malibu knows that the treatment process is just the start of recovery and for an alcoholic to live a happy and meaningful life in sobriety they must know how to overcome the triggers that could lead to relapse.
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.
