7 Reasons to
Choose Cliffside Malibu
Why choose the Cliffside Malibu addiction treatment center? The answer is simple. We want you to go to treatment once and recover for good. Below are the factors that set us apart from other treatment centers:
- We recognize the root cause of addiction as pain/trauma.
- We use the Stages of Change Model as the foundation for our psychologically based treatment.
- We use individualized, holistic therapies in conjunction with psychotherapy within a luxurious setting.
Your success is our success
Our main goal is that you come to treatment once – so that you go back into the world leading a happy, productive life.
We recognize the root cause of addiction as pain and/or trauma
Most treatment programs are 12-step based. While 12-step programs were cutting-edge 75 years ago, they do not address the underlying causes of addiction. At best, for those with trauma or abuse or neglect or many other forms of pain in their backgrounds, they are a bandage solution. We use 12 steps only as an adjunct to other forms of therapy.
You'll be immersed in the Stages of Change Model, the foundation of our treatment protocol
Dr. James Prochaska, creator of the Stages of Change Model and one of the world’s most quoted psychologists, has endorsed the treatment protocol.
You don’t have a disease, and we don’t believe or treat you as though you have one
When addiction is approached like a disease, the patient can feel demoralized by being told that they have an incurable illness from which people most often do not recover. The best that can be hoped for is management. We use a positive psychological approach that doesn’t focus as much on what is wrong with you, but on what is RIGHT with you. We use your assets to help them design lives they can be proud of.
We understand and use the neuroscience of addiction to help people recover
Remember that 12-step model, the one that tells you you’re powerless? That’s not the whole story. What research has proven is that while addiction affects the brain, the brain can be changed – both in its structure and chemistry – so that you really can change your life. But you have to be part of a treatment protocol that uses neuroscience to your advantage. You’ll get that support at Cliffside Malibu.
Experience individualized, holistic therapies in conjunction with psychotherapy
Everything at Cliffside is personalized for YOU. Every member of our team is invested in your recovery, whether you are getting treated for drugs, alcohol or a co-occurring disorder in which depression or anxiety is present. Detox and residential programming are offered to help meet you where you are in your treatment journey. You won’t simply go from one group to the next; you will be given access to literally every type of therapy – for mind, body and spirit – from yoga to meditation to mindset & interpersonal neurobiology therapy – to create a synergistic effect with your psychotherapy. These adjunctive efforts create the brain change that leads to lasting recovery.
