About Cliffside Malibu
Cliffside Malibu treats addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders in a safe and luxurious environment. They’ve adopted a unique treatment model, called Stages of Change, that meets clients where they are in their recovery journey and guides them forward. As a non-12-Step program, Stages of Change uses holistic and evidence-based treatments for whole-body healing. Cliffside Malibu also provides intensive outpatient services and sober living for clients looking to extend their care.
A host of therapeutic and facility staff help ensure each client has their needs met, from detox to aftercare. Clinical and psychological assessments help Cliffside Malibu’s staff begin creating a personalized treatment plan, which adjusts further to meet the specifications and desires of each client. By using this personalized approach, and offering multiple therapy approaches, Cliffside creates a plan that is customized for clients’ needs.
Cliffside Malibu sees addiction as a response to pain or trauma. They use techniques like motivational interviewing, eye movement desensitization (EMDR), somatic therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to uncover and comfortably process this pain, healing addiction at its core. Combined with their personalized and holistic approach, clients at Cliffside receive highly effective treatment for addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions.
During detox, clinicians at Cliffside Malibu may use medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Medication-assisted treatment can extend past detox too, depending on clients’ needs and preferences. Cliffside offers three individual therapy sessions each week, ensuring clients get the personal care they need. Group and family therapy adds to their different angles of healing, allowing for personal growth, encouragement, and widespread healing. Clients choose from private or shared rooms during treatment, enjoying up-scale amenities, plush linens, and the talents of professional chefs.
