Why Malibu?

Malibu is a world-famous beach community outside of Los Angeles in sunny Southern California. It is known as the celebrity capital of California. Many stars and other famous people call Malibu home. There are a number of reasons why Malibu should be the first choice as a location for an effective rehab center. Malibu is located along a famous stretch of Pacific Coast Highway. The beaches here are well known surf spots as well as the perfect spot for a vacation home. It is sunny most days of the year. The average daytime temperature in the summer is not that different than the average daytime temperature in the winter. Malibu is in its own quiet community along the magnificent California coast of the Pacific Ocean, yet is just minutes away from Los Angeles and the Los Angeles International Airport. Its location is the perfect combination of easy access, quiet and serene surroundings, and both the mountains and the beaches. Whether you like mountain biking or surfing, both are readily accessible. Our residents can enjoy walks along the Malibu Beaches, or hikes along the trails in the foothills of the Malibu mountains.

Why Rehab?

If you are reading this because you are thinking about rehab, you may still be asking yourself if you really need to go to rehab. You may think that you can quit on your own. That is hardly an original thought. Many other addicts just like you have said the same thing: “I can quit on my own”. The reality is, you can’t. Oh you can quit for a little while, and then start using again. That is not what I am talking about. What I am talking about is true sobriety; a life without drugs or alcohol, a life where you can cope with the stresses of life without resorting to drugs or alcohol. In order to do that, you need to understand yourself: why you use, and how to deal with life without using. The only way to do that is rehab.

In rehab you will come to understand why you use drugs or alcohol. You have used them in the past because they work very well. They have given you instant relief. They have worked so well that you have come to rely on them more and more until you are totally addicted. Now that you are there, we will help you understand how you got there, and how to not go there again. We will help you develop coping mechanisms and skills to deal with the frustrations and stresses of life without using. We will help you understand that life is precious, that life is good, and worth living, and that life is worth living without drugs. These are things you can’t do on your own. Call us at Malibu Rehab today at 1-877-736-7506, and we will help you regain your life. Why wait? Do it now, before it is too late.

Aftercare

Aftercare is defined as the care, treatment, help, or supervision given to persons discharged from an institution. When it comes to ridding one’s life of a chemical addiction, aftercare can be one of the most important steps toward achieving that goal.

The main goal of aftercare for drug and alcohol detoxification is to reestablish normalcy to a person’s life, minus the drugs and/or alcohol. Many times, aftercare involves various types of counseling and/or therapy to help the recovering addict return to their life. Aftercare professionals offer a variety of family, group, and individual counseling sessions to provide the greatest treatment possible. These sessions sometimes deal with bettering the patient’s self-image and how to find better ways to view themselves in relation to their families and communities. Some aftercare professionals find that the best group sessions are divided into male and female groups and make it easier for former addicts to vent their true frustrations in the sessions.

Another important goal of aftercare is to help patients understand their relapse triggers. Anyone who has ever dealt with addiction knows that relapse is the hardest part of staying clean. Aftercare professionals are highly trained in teaching what triggers relapse and how to avoid it. Many believe that without aftercare, there would never be recovery.

Rehab Centers

Each year, more than 500,000 deaths - or over one in four - in the United States are attributable to abuse of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs. There are many types of rehab centers in Malibu available to the recovering addict today. It’s important to remember that drug addiction recovery is a long-term process. Abstinence from all drugs takes a strong commitment from the addict and a reliable support system. That support system can make all the difference in terms of lifelong recovery. Malibu rehab centers play a vital role in that recovery.

Rehab centers abound. The key is to find one that treats the particular addiction being battled and provides offerings tailored to the addict’s needs. Rehab centers provide programs ranging from individualized treatment programs to 30 day stays to 90 days. Some rehab centers offer faith-based programs while others offer dual treatments and yet others specialize in teens.

Here is an overview of typical alcohol rehab centers and their different provisions.

Brief Interventions

Brief interventions are used to help the addict understand the disorder and what they can do about the addiction. This intervention should be done under a physician’s care and they should emphasize the negative consequences of all drug use. Educational materials should be given as well. If the addict can fight the abuse or control the habit enough to return to a normal life, the intervention has been successful. If they cannot, more intensive therapy options such as detoxification or inpatient treatments must be utilized.

Detoxification

To start the process of rehab, detoxification is necessary. This can be done either as an inpatient treatment or outpatient. If outpatient detox is used, it’s important that the patient has a sober and responsible family member or friend who to help encourage participation in the program, watch for serious signs of withdrawal, get the patient to the physician’s office and get rid of any alcohol or drugs in the patient’s home. If these things cannot be done or if outpatient detox doesn’t work, inpatient therapy is necessary.

Hospital Treatment

Hospital treatment can be a first step in recovery. There are many types of treatments available for all addictions ranging from alcohol to opiates to stimulants. For best possible outcomes hospital treatment should be part of an outpatient long-term treatment program. One piece of that long-term program should be a twelve-step program or other recovery support group. New behaviors are formed in these groups which replace the old addict’s patterns of dishonesty, emotional avoidance and self-destruction.

12-Step Programs

After detoxification, it’s important that every addict gather a combination of professional (group or individual) counseling plus attendance at a self-help group to maintain sobriety. These programs have reportedly helped millions of people maintain sobriety and health. There are several variations of the well-known Alcoholics Anonymous such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA). For those who don’t feel AA or NA works best for them, other self-help groups are available such as Rational Recovery (RR). Rational Recovery emphasizes a self-actualizing cognitive-behavioral approach.

Outpatient Therapy

Outpatient treatment can vary in length. It can be several meetings at a particular treatment rehab center to a lifelong commitment. The number of meetings typically varies depending on the intensity needed. The more intense the level of treatment needed, the more meetings that must be attended. For example, if the treatment needed or desired is highly intensive, there are roughly four or five meetings per week. And as the level of intensity required goes down so do the number of meetings to attend, usually at least once or twice a week however. The actual length of time involved will also vary depending on the program selected. The most thorough and professional facilities combine education and group therapy. Outpatient therapy can come in many forms and is typically tailored to the particular addiction and may cater to a certain group of people (such as female narcotic addicts or men with an opium addiction). When the right Malibu rehab center is found for outpatient therapy, it’s important to be sure the entire program is overseen by a professional with experience and/or certification in addiction counseling.

Long-Term Residential Treatment

If short-term detoxification followed by long-term outpatient treatment doesn’t work, another treatment option is long-term residential treatment programs. The success of long-term residential treatment is a stable, comfortable environment where the addict can tackle the complex problems of recovery.

Fortunately, treatment can be effective, probably to a greater degree when substance abuse disorders are identified early. In this regard, family physicians can play a pivotal role. They are well positioned to make the diagnosis because patients frequently seek medical care for the complications of drug and alcohol abuse. In addition, family physicians have an expanding role in the treatment of substance abuse as a result of recent advances in the understanding and pharmacologic management of addictive disorders.
