Repairing the damage of drug abuse can require a multifaceted approach to physical and mental treatment. Passages Malibu offers a battery of one-on-one therapeutic sessions to treat and counsel patients suffering from the ravages of addiction. Here on our immaculate 16,500 acre campus by the Pacific Ocean, patients get well in a limited enrollment program designed to probe for the underlying issues that are provoking the need to do drugs.
Whether you or a loved one is in the thrall of heroin addiction, morphine dependency, or cocaine addiction, or whether you have been dealing with chronic alcoholism for years, we can remediate the physical symptoms you are enduring and pave the way for a cleaner, sober future. The Passages Malibu drug treatment center has graduated hundreds of sober, profoundly grateful people. Feel free to read some of their stories and testimonials while here at our site.
The road to recovery does not have to be a constant nail-biting experience. Willpower alone is not sufficient to battle the deep-rooted inner impulses to drink or do drugs. Instead, what most addicts need is a fully holistic solution that treats and manages inner hurts that provoke feelings of helplessness and chaos. After all, people abuse drugs primarily to cope with this helplessness, and drug treatment centers such as Passages Malibu are well-equipped to handle these aspects of rehab.
In other words, far from being a spiritual or mental weakness, the addictive impulse is actually a protective one. It is just a misguided attempt to restore order. At Passages, patients learn how to handle their addictive impulses through 70 private sessions of professional one-on-one addiction treatment. Before addiction takes over your life completely, give a call to one of our caring Admissions Counselors.
Let’s look in detail at what makes Passages such a special treatment center. Unlike other programs that put clients in crowded rooms and force them to do chores to “earn their keep,” we treat our guests as we would want to be treated ourselves, and provide extensive luxuries and amenities. Enjoy your own bathroom, a first class tennis court, a kitchen offering wide assortments great gourmet foods, a gymnasium, beautiful vistas of the Pacific Ocean and quiet places to consider your life in a relaxed atmosphere.
We also believe fundamentally that addicts shouldn’t be deprived of friends and family while they’re undergoing drug treatment. After all, would you keep a heart patient from seeing his family before, during, or after surgery? Indeed, by surrounding clients with love, attention, and good food and exercise options, we’re able to get them to relax to the point that they can really open up about what is going on inside them.
Something magical happens during the course of a month in our intensive drug treatment program. You really have to be at the facility to believe it. The testimonials onsite, including Pax Prentiss’s own recounting of his addiction saga, do the experience justice. However, to watch someone transform (often between weeks two and three) and renew their lives is one of the most thrilling experiences anyone can imagine.
Tens of millions of Americans suffer from mild to severe addiction to drugs and alcohol. With incredible advances in addiction rehab techniques and psychotherapy, one would think that most clinics out there have relatively good track records as far as rehabilitating users goes. Sadly, the truth is that practically every drug treatment center out there uses what’s known as “group” therapies. Basically, addicts meet with other addicts to talk about their symptoms, their lives, and their treatments.
While groups offer solace and a sense of community, they are not really substitutes for individual attention. Think about this analogy: if you got sick with a lung ailment, would you expect that the only people in the world that could possibly treat you were other people who had that same ailment? Absolutely not--you would want doctors who have studied the subject.
Group-oriented drug treatment centers offer only one solution to all addictions--more group treatment. This idea similarly doesn’t hold water. If you came in to the doctor’s office with an unknown pain in your chest or head, would you want that doctor treat you blindly--without asking about your history, other symptoms that might be related to your pain, or past failed attempts?
These holes in the logic of group drug treatment centers can be very costly. Typical programs have a cure rate hovering around 5 percent and a relapse rate approaching 95 percent. Sure, some group programs may show higher numbers--but look at these statistics carefully. Often, group programs will only track successes for the first six months or year. After that, statistics are very difficult to keep. Many studies show that, while group treatment may in the short term provide much needed drug detox and rehabilitation help, over the long term, group therapy has approximately the same success rate as placebo therapy.
Enter Passages Malibu. We are a completely different kind of drug treatment center. Our success rate blows the roof off of traditional statistics. We have an 84.4 percent rate of success--and that’s for the long term. Might that be a statistical hiccup? Not at all--we’ve treated hundreds of clients, including A-list celebrities, heads of state, and people who have wrestled with major addiction problems for years to decades.
How do we get the job done? We put a team of 10 therapists with each client. Our unmatched Drug Treatment Program offers massive amounts of one-on-one attention and therapy (70 sessions during a month long residential treatment). We revise our approach as we become more familiar with your case. We invite relatives and friends to help you in your recovery. We treat you with dignity. We get to the bottom of your drug issues by exploring everything from your habits to your diet to your childhood. Each addiction story is different, and we understand that unpacking someone’s personal history takes patience, kindness, and savvy.
