ABOUT SUMMIT MALIBU TREATMENT CENTER
Summit Malibu Treatment Center is located in a gated community in Malibu, California. Our facility provides medically supervised detoxification services as well as short-term and long-term luxury residential rehabilitation options for adults dealing with addiction and dual diagnosis. Our treatment center is housed in a magnificent Spanish villa set on five acres of private land.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
All clients start with our short-term residential program called the Primary Care Program which lasts for 28 days. This program focuses on detox, if necessary, and stabilization. Clients have the option to extend their treatment through our Extended Care program, which adds an additional 60 or 90 days or more for those who require further treatment.
At Summit Malibu, we adhere to the disease concept of addiction and base our treatment programs on the core values of individualized care and extensive one-on-one therapy. Each client receives over 80 hours of individual treatment per month. While the 12-Steps do not form an integral part of our treatment approach, clients may choose to attend meetings as an optional addition. We also offer SMART Recovery meetings.
Our programs incorporate evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), biofeedback, and alpha stim. We also provide relapse prevention training, life skills and communication training, and education about addiction. Our family program includes education and brief strategic family therapy.
