Malibu Horizon is the only Non 12 Step, disease model, therapy based program in the world. There may be other Non 12 step programs out there, however, they are the only one who believes that addiction is a chronic medical condition.
Malibu Horizon is different from any other program. They specialize in alcoholism, opiate, benzodiazepine addiction with an emphasis on depression, anxiety, coping and communication skills as well as learning boundaries with others. Malibu Horizon offers the most effective, research-based non 12 step treatment available today.
Their integrative approach blends together a variety of "best practices" in substance abuse treatment today. Without addressing all the multiple holes and traps that await the substance abuser, they cannot stay on the safe road to recovery and therapy.
Their integrative approach has evolved over the last 10 years of working with substance abusing clients. Substance abusers are not all alike, and different patients have very different medical and emotional needs.
The cornerstone of their approach is clients must be treated as individual, not as stigmatized and "labeled" members of a diagnostic classification. We acknowledge what extensive research has now confirmed; no one approach to treatment is superior to all others and that effective treatment must be customized to meet individual goals and needs. The essence of the integrative approach is that it neither requires nor recommends compliance to one theoretical model or method of treatment.
Their program blends together many seemingly disparate and competing therapy approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, abstinence-based counseling, supportive therapy, narrative, motivational effectiveness, couples and family therapy, patient education, and pharmacotherapy. All are brought together to meet and gratify the client's needs at their particular stage of recovery.
All clinical staff members who work in the alcohol and drug rehab program at Malibu Horizon hold master's level degrees or above in the fields of psychology, nursing and/or education. Their trained and qualified support staff members are also available at any time to ensure that your stay at our Malibu rehab center is comfortable. Collectively, the Malibu Horizon professional doctors and staff have worked with thousands of alcoholism and drug addiction treatment patients all across the United States, and in many other areas of the world.
