Finest Treatment Facility In America!
'...The treatment process for drug addicts is always an arduous experience. Those drug addicts who complete the process successfully are invariably the ones who receive the best possible support along the way-which means that the most effective drug addiction treatment clinics are always those which pamper drug addicts. In the end, there's simply no better way to build a solid foundation for sustainable recovery.
Those principles, in turn, comprise the core of Cliffside Malibu's treatment philosophy.
With its expert caregivers and posh amenities, Cliffside Malibu is a world-class institution. The center has always catered to an elite clientele of drug addicts. Now Cliffside is expanding its mission, with the goal of delivering the most luxurious care on the planet to drug addicts who need it. At Cliffside Malibu, nothing less than excellence will ever be acceptable.
"Drug addiction treatment clinics are most successful when drug addicts feel wholly comfortable in their healing environment," said Cliffside Malibu Program Director. "It's our role as a luxury drug addiction treatment center specializing in such areas as marijuana addiction to meet each and every need of drug addicts, with everything from gourmet meals to high thread-count sheets. We believe that our record of success proves the effectiveness of our strategies."
Cliffside's competitors, meanwhile, can hardly speak so glowingly about their own treatment efforts...' (Cliffside Malibu)
How To: Find Reliable Drug Addiction Resources
It's easy for a luxury addiction treatment facility to put up a good front in its online advertising brochure regarding drug addiction resources. It's harder, though, for that facility to provide its residents with the utmost elegance on a day-by-day basis. Unfortunately, many California luxury addiction treatment patients learn the hard way that you can't always believe the drug addiction resources that you read on the Internet....'

Advantages of Private Drug Rehab
"We pride ourselves on providing our clients with the best possible drug treatment experience," said a representative from Cliffside Malibu's clinical team. "Our luxurious sober living facility is an essential part of that experience, especially insofar as it helps residents prepare for the challenges of day-to-day living in a substance-free world."
Unfortunately, that sort of long-term thinking is precisely what distinguishes Cliffside from its competitors
Many recovery centers offer competent primary private drug treatment programs to their clients. But only the most elite clinics invest sufficient resources in their sober living services. In fact, many of the most well-known private drug treatment programs in Los Angeles provide marginal or even inferior sober living options for their residents. Unsurprisingly, those facilities routinely fall short of the promises they make in their advertising brochures.
Cliffside Malibu is a residential drug treatment center specializing in roxycodone treatment in Malibu, California.

What is the Cliffside Malibu rehab center and how can it assist with an intervention?
Our expert staff is highly experienced in treating addictions and disorders and each is dedicated to ensuring our patients receive world-class treatment with an unmatched success rate. Cliffside Malibu emphasizes individual treatment, so patients are assigned to a primary therapist who works with him or her throughout their stay. Our facilities are luxurious and private, with a wide range of amenities ranging from spa treatments and private beach access to gourmet meals. We believe a comfortable environment enables residents to relax, avoid outside stresses and focus on their recovery.
No one is able to overcome an addiction without help and sometimes the first form that help has to take is in the form of an intervention. Addicts often don’t recognize the seriousness of their problem. They can be become caught in a downward spiral and in extreme cases, an intervention may be the only way to convince them that they have a reason to seek help; it may be the only way to save them from themselves. Interventions can be unpleasant, and, if undertaken under the wrong frame of mind, can end in a shouting match and failure. Cliffside Malibu offers professional counseling to those seeking to stage an intervention, helping in the planning, preparing for treatment and generally ensuring that the event occurs as smoothly as possible.

Cliffside Malibu Offers Evidence Based Drug Rehab Treatment
With so many different drug rehab programs now available to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? Here are a few different approaches to substance abuse treatment for you to take a closer look at:
The Twelve-Step Rehab Program:
This may be the most well know method, commonly mentioned in movies and TV shows where the storyline follows an addict through the recovery process… Remember 28 Days with Sandra Bullock? She plays an alcoholic named Gwen that basically ruins her sister's wedding and is forced into rehab. The movie follows Gwen to rehab where she is put through a 12 step program. In the movie, the 12 steps appear to be hugging, chanting, cleaning, climbing, singing, taking classes, and bonding… not sure that is the best reference.
A twelve-step rehab program really consists of a set of guiding principles that outline a course of action for recovery from substance abuse, addictions, compulsions and/or other behavioral problems. This was actually originally used by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a program for alcohol addiction recovery. But, after it became popular the program became the foundation for other twelve-step programs such as Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous and Debtors Anonymous.
The American Psychological Association states that the method/process involves the following:
These are the original Twelve Steps as published by Alcoholics Anonymous:
- We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
- Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
- Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
- Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
- Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
- Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
- Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
- Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
- Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Although the 12-Step Program is still very popular, there are many critics. People have been said to not believe in the "higher power" and therefore the 12 steps eluded them.
The Client Centered Approach:
Well known author Carl Rogers wrote an influential book called Client-Centered Therapy. In the book he suggests that there are 3 necessary steps for personal change:
- unconditional, positive regard
- accurate empathy
- genuineness
He believed that with these 3 items in the rehab process and/or relationship with the therapist, anyone could overcome basically any troublesome issue, including addiction. A study was done back in 1957 to compare the Client Centered Approach with a therapy based two-factor learning therapy and psychoanalytic therapy. The authors of the study actually were surprised to dine that the client-centered therapy proved to be the most effective out of the 3.
As always, there will be critics. Some argue that the findings in the case study may be skewed due to the therapist's outlook to the different approaches.
Here at Cliffside Malibu we believe in a custom tailored, personalized approach. We use cutting edge techniques, all evidence based – proven to have the highest success rate for guests that complete all 3 levels of care: Personalized Detox, Individual Rehab and an Aftercare Plan. Because all of our rehab programs are fully customizable, we believe our center stands out from the rest. This coupled with the fact that we provide luxurious amenities and around the clock service and support from an exceptional, highly trained staff.
Drug Rehab should be personal. We don`t believe that our guests should have to experience pain and suffering. We want to provide peace and comfort. When you come to us, you`ll sit with a trained counselor who will sit with you and your family and take the time needed to evaluate your personal needs before determining which treatments are appropriate for you. During your stay with us you will undergo Detox, if necessary, and based on the evaluation, you will be presented with an individual drug rehabilitation plan. Each plan is designed to meet the guest's specific needs to maximize the potential for success, while ensuring your stay is as comfortable as possible. Addictions are personal; shouldn't the rehabilitation process be personal as well?
