Avalon Malibu

About Avalon Malibu – Malibu, California

Avalon Malibu Rehab is a luxury inpatient substance use disorder and mental health treatment center. It’s in Malibu, California and is a luxury estate perched on a cliff with an ocean view and direct beach access. The center is accredited by The Joint Commission and certified by SAMHSA. They accept insurance from several major carriers.

The center has a comprehensive treatment program. Upon admission, you’ll have an assessment and receive an individualized treatment plan. This may include detox if appropriate. Once in the residential program, you’ll have a resident advisor, therapists, a private chef and around-the-clock care.

They offer detox and treatment for every type of addiction including alcohol, opiates, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, club drugs, Ambien and marijuana. Many people with a history of substance use also have co-occurring mental health conditions. It’s these conditions that are often the driving factor behind the substance use.

The center treats the most common co-occurring disorders. These include depression, anxiety, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma and personality disorders. You’ll be exposed to multiple evidence-based treatments based on your unique treatment plan.

Some of the therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational enhancement therapy (MET), and group therapy. You’ll be encouraged to participate in the 12-step programs. It’s important to treat any co-occurring disorder because that reduces relapse.

They take a holistic approach at the center which means taking into account the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. They offer yoga, journaling, massage, and neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is an evidence-based, noninvasive treatment that uses brainwave technology to help train your brain for improved function. You learn to control and optimize your brain function through the feedback process.

A former client said the services and treatment allowed him to heal in a safe and comfortable space. He also felt the staff had his best interests at heart.
