    Conditions and Issues Treated

    Rehab centers in California exist to help individuals bounce back from substance abuse. Drug addiction refers to the use of illegal drugs and improper use of prescription drugs. Substance abuse includes all problems that stem out from using psychoactive substances. Centers like Cliffside Malibu are here to help.

    Opioid addiction is one of the most common forms of addiction California. Opioids include drugs like heroin, oxycontin and fentanyl. They are prescribed to treat pain, but they are often abused and they are addictive. The addiction is treated by detoxing the body, so it no longer needs the chemicals in the drugs. This is followed up by therapies to correct behavior and target the root of the problem.

    Some of the most common co-occurring disorders are schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. Most rehab facilities in Malibu, CA like Cliffside Malibu provide patients with a dual diagnosis. Dual diagnosis gives rehab the means to treat addiction while restoring mental and emotional health.

    Levels of Care Offered at Cliffside Malibu

    This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Detox, Drug Rehab, Dual-Diagnosis, Inpatient, Intervention, Partial-Hospitalization, Residential, with additional therapies available as listed below.

    Detox is the first step of rehab. It involves giving a person time to get the toxins out of their body. During detox, the patient gets ill and they will often start using again to get rid of these unpleasant feelings. That’s why it’s so important to have a Malibu medical professional at Cliffside Malibu present. A California medical professional will make sure patients don’t start using during detox. They will also provide medication to ease their symptoms and coach them through on a mental level.

    Inpatient rehabilitation aims to treat severe addictions and co-occurring disorders. Depending on individual requirements, the duration of the stay at Cliffside Malibu ranges from four weeks to six months. California inpatient recovery guarantees that the patient resides in an environment free of drugs.

    Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) are meant for individuals experiencing trouble functioning at school or with work and other occupations, medical instability, inadequate support at home, simultaneous mental health issues, and substance use disorders in California. They are also meant for those experiencing the risk of self-harm or the urge to harm others. It is a short-term treatment program offered at Cliffside Malibu, aiming to improve individuals enough to be reassigned to a lower level of care. The program operates within a psychiatric hospital for several hours daily, usually three to five days per week.

    Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.

    An intervention is a planned conversation between an addicted person and their loved ones. Usually, a licensed alcohol and drug counselor or an interventionist supervises the conversation. The presence of a specialist is essential if your loved one has a history of a severe mental disorder, suicidal attempts, abusing mood-altering drugs. A proper intervention is an excellent bridge to an individual’s sobriety.

    Aftercare Support at Cliffside Malibu, in short, is the support provided to a patient after they have finished treatment. It allows them to adjust to everyday life. It may entail setting them up and enrolling them in services such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) inside a halfway house. Career coaching may also be offered to patients to help them get back into the workforce.

    Therapies & Programs

    Individual therapy refers to one-on-one psychotherapy between a patient and their Cliffside Malibu therapist. Individual therapy seeks to help identify the issues that drive and contribute to a client’s addiction or alcoholism. Another goal of individual counseling is to assist the client to learn how to manage their lives without alcohol or drugs.

    Addiction is a family disease. Family therapy is a common tool that is used during inpatient treatment. While living with active addiction in Malibu, California, it is impossible for family members not to be affected. In order to have the greatest chances for long term sobriety, healing any family trauma and dysfunctional communications is important.

    Group therapy occurs in a group setting as opposed to a one on one setting. It benefits patients by providing a feeling of support and letting them know they are not alone. Patients at Cliffside Malibu also learn to build trust and understanding and gain perspective through discussions.

    After experiencing trauma, it’s crucial to look for a facility that can provide trauma therapy. This approach zeroes in on the traumatic incidents that a patient has encountered in the past, recent or not. It’s been widely known that trauma can make an individual resort to alcohol or other substances to mask their troubles and pain. Trauma can originate from domestic violence, sexual abuse, an early encounter with death, sexual assault, and many more. The goal of trauma therapy at Cliffside Malibu in Malibu, CA is to help the patient see beyond the trauma and move forward. Mental health professionals will facilitate the patient’s journey and see to it that he or she is no longer a victim of his or her traumatic experiences and has wholly regained his or her personal power.

    DBT, also known as dialectical behavior therapy, is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that helps people understand how their thoughts, behaviors, and feelings all connect. This can give them more control over their actions, effectively stopping self-harm ideations and attempts in some patients. It can also help put people in control over some mental struggles, like borderline personality disorder.

    Most individuals suffering from addiction have low self-awareness, so they end up making poor decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is suitable for patients recovering from an addiction of any kind. Through it, patients become more aligned with their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, giving them a better opportunity to respond appropriately to temptations and negative feelings.

    This therapy modality at Cliffside Malibu in Malibu, CA strengthens a person’s ability to stay on top of their emotional state and learn new stress management techniques so they won’t give in to the temptations easily. Moreover, CBT helps people communicate and express their emotions well, which can be vital in relapse management. CBT is also suitable for managing co-occurring disorders like depression and bipolar illness.

    Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy sees a person suffering from substance addiction to have illogical reasoning, counterproductive actions, and does not see things clearly. REBT at Cliffside Malibu in Malibu, CA deals with cognition, images, and behavior extensively to rectify the client’s bad habits. The process calls for practice, reiteration, and bolstering the new way of thinking being introduced to the patient.

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is designed to help patients process trauma. During the therapy, patients follow a bar of light or watch their therapist’s finger move back and forth. This mimics the eye movements of REM sleep. These are the same movements that allow the brain to reprocess memories. When traumatic memories are reprocessed, it reduces the impact they have on emotions. This treatment, offered by Cliffside Malibu, can be helpful to patients who turn to drugs to escape painful memories.

    When it comes to maintaining sobriety, people who quit recovery without developing life skills are disadvantaged. While teaching life skills at Cliffside Malibu is difficult, support with aftercare helps patients learn these skills over time. Life skills include getting a career, living in a good environment, self-care, and finance management, all in Malibu, CA.

    Nutrition Therapy, or Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), focuses on improving a patient’s mental and physical health through diet. A diet that is low in certain nutrients can lead to emotions that can trigger addiction or relapse. Cliffside Malibu‘s Nutritional therapy promotes healthy eating to heal the body and prevent addictive behavior.

    Many addictions co-exist with some type of nicotine or tobacco use. During treatment at Cliffside Malibu in California, some may prefer to quit smoking and use of other nicotine products.
