Addiction Treatment Programs at Cliffside Malibu

They use a boutique, personalized approach with a 1:4 client to staff ratio and the evidence based Stages of Change model. Cliffside Malibu focuses on healing the whole person through trauma informed, holistic care.

Treatment begins with medical detoxification supervised by addiction specialists, using medication assisted treatment to safely manage withdrawal. Clients then transition into short term or long term residential programs that typically last 90 to 120 days, offering three individual therapy sessions per week with a dedicated psychotherapist.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment and Comprehensive Aftercare

The facility also provides intensive outpatient programs for clients with dual diagnoses, featuring biweekly one on one sessions and structured daily activities without overnight stays. Evidence based therapies in your program may include CBT, DBT, EMDR and motivational interviewing, while holistic approaches such as yoga, acupuncture, equine therapy and art therapy address mind, body and spirit.

Comprehensive aftercare planning and lifetime alumni support through the Discovery for Life program help sustain long term recovery. Patients have access to private and semi private luxury rooms, pool, tennis and basketball courts, meditation gardens, gourmet chef prepared meals and 24 hour medical supervision. The program accepts most private insurance plans. They do not accept Medicare or Medicaid and offer self pay and payment plans.
