Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

The Pointe Malibu Recovery Center guides clients through recovery from addiction, trauma, and chronic pain with detox and residential care in a stunning oceanfront setting. With a trauma-informed philosophy, they integrate evidence-based therapies and holistic practices that calm and regulate the nervous system, helping clients rebuild their lives with clarity and resilience. The serene coastal environment enhances this process, providing a powerful sense of peace and renewal that supports lasting recovery. The Pointe Malibu uses Polyvagal Theory, a nervous system-based approach, to help clients restore a sense of safety so the body and mind can stay calm, connected, and ready to heal. Their program regulates the nervous system through therapies like somatic experiencing (a body-oriented approach), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), acceptance and commitment therapy, and recreational experiences. Clients detox in a private, comfortable setting with round-the-clock monitoring. Clients retreat to private suites with balconies that open to sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Peaceful spaces for reflection, along with a heated pool and spa, create an atmosphere of relaxation and renewal. Gourmet chefs prepare nourishing, family-style meals that support a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Beyond the residence, clients engage in experiential therapies such as surfing, massage, art therapy, hiking, yoga, and more, making the healing journey both restorative and inspiring. The Pointe Malibu is committed to keeping clients supported and connected long after treatment ends: alumni know they always have a community to turn to, whenever they need it. Their comprehensive alumni program welcomes all former residents and provides structured, ongoing support for those who want it. They keep alumni connected with weekly enrichment activities, bi-monthly meetings, annual homecoming events, peer mentoring, and visitor passes to return and encourage current clients.
