Malibu Drug Rehab Center - CLIFFSIDE MALIBU - Shatters Stigma of Malibu-Style Luxury Treatment

Feb. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- We've read the articles; we've seen the news shows and heard the many commentaries relating to luxury drug rehab treatment centers, often termed "Malibu-Style" recovery.  The advent of song artists and actors/actresses - names like Brittney Spears, Tiger Woods, Daniel Baldwin, Nicole Richie, etc. - entering luxury substance abuse rehabilitation centers, fueled by the up-to-the-minute tweeting, blogging and reporting by often opinionated pseudo-journalists has given substantial rise to concern over the legitimacy of such high-end recovery facilities located in areas like Malibu, California; Los Angeles, Orange County, Arizona, Florida, etc.  Interestingly, however, a facility by the name of "Cliffside Malibu" near Zuma Beach & Santa Monica, CA has in large part averted the mentioning of its addiction treatment services within all this hype, and while the facility itself embodies true luxury at first glance, underneath it all their lies a far greater luxury manifesting in the form of care, dedication, depth in services, individual client program structure, staff experience and ultimately, a higher than average rate of success leading to a strong & prominent alumni association.  Cliffside Malibu actually boasts an unusually broad array of treatment services including; adolescent and adult programs, chemical dependency/drug abuse/alcoholism, gambling addiction, sex and relationship addictions, eating disorders such as bulimia & anorexia, mental health issues such as co-occurring disorders/dual-diagnosis issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief & loss, etc.  To learn more as to how they are able to provide this type of an array of services, visit their "Staff" page for greater clarity at: http://www.cliffsidemalibu.com/cliffside-malibu-staff/

One could be sold based simply on their list of credentials and affiliations, among which include; ADP, CAMFT, APA, CPA, LACPA, ISTDP and EMDR, most of which are foreign to the lay person but sure sound impressive.  In trying to understand what sets Cliffside apart from the slew of other high-end treatment centers nationwide, they state that "...over half of our residents who admit into our drug rehab center are referred by therapists around the country who swear by our reputation and results-based therapy that promotes what everyone wants...long term sobriety!"  It was interesting to learn that while they have 3 levels of care which maintain certain core consistencies, they then mold the treatment plan around each client's specific needs deriving from a number of variables such as; behavioral patterns, family history, drug of choice, mental health or co-occurring issues that may exist, history of physical and/or emotional trauma, etc.  Within that framework, however, they take a multi-disciplinary approach which inter-twines various methods and modalities stemming from; Cognitive-Behavioral, Analytic and Reflective Therapy, to acupuncture, equine therapy, individual & group sessions, 12 step meeting attendance, custom-tailored physical fitness programs with personal trainers in a private gym, therapeutic massage, holistic regimens, "fun" outings, and much more.  As stated by Cliffside, “Our long history of success is due in part to using cutting-edge, evidence-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation protocols."  They continue on in stating, "Our drug treatment philosophy incorporates a variety of clinical components to create a comprehensive, personalized and highly effective addiction treatment program, fine-tuned by our in-house experts to meet the needs of each individual patient."

Going back to the question of how it is that Cliffside Malibu has been able to set itself apart from the many other luxury rehab centers, one key element - among many others - is that they are fully equipped to intervene, arrange, coordinate, oversee and map out the client's recovery from day-one, all the way through ongoing aftercare and therapeutic support for their program graduates.  Their services include: intervention coordinating, travel companionship, full-scale medical detox, 3 levels of residential inpatient treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, aftercare planning, sober living arrangements, outside specialized therapy treatments and even long-term telephone, email & in-person support for the program graduates with their originally assigned personal staff treatment specialists and therapist.  Logic would dictate that with this type of coordination in mapping out the patient's treatment regimen, rather than having to switch care providers from stage to stage, that one's likelihood for maintaining long-term sobriety would be greatly increased.  Keeping all this in mind, however, don’t lose site of the fact that Cliffside is most definitely a luxury, high-end addiction treatment facility boasting ocean and mountain views, gourmet chefs, elegant 5 star accommodations, sun decks, maid & laundry services and much more, all of which is used to enhance and bolster one’s recovery process, rather than become the very foundation of it.  They do work with some insurance companies in addition to accepting private-pay clientele, and for more information and a confidential assessment you may reach their admissions staff 24/7 at (800) 501-1988. One thing they seem to stress ad nauseam is their commitment to privacy, confidentiality & professionalism, which probably accounts for one more reason why we don’t hear too much about them in the tabloids.  They have recently issued a brief video which can be seen above.  Cliffside has also recently become involved with Sober Nexus, a new type of marketing & search platform dedicated entirely to the world of addiction treatment, and you will find Cliffside on the Sober Nexus site at: http://cliffsidemalibu.sobernexus.com.  Again, you may reach their admissions staff for a confidential assessment at (800) 501-1988 and are likewise invited to visit their company homepage at: http://www.cliffsidemalibu.com
