Cliffside Malibu 2

Recovery in a Tranquil, Upscale Setting

The coastal location offers a calm, restorative setting, where clients stay in ocean-view residences designed for comfort and privacy. Each room includes an en-suite bathroom, luxury linens, a smart TV, and Wi-Fi—small comforts that support dignity and autonomy during recovery. Gourmet meals prepared by in-house chefs and access to laundry services reduce day-to-day stress, allowing clients to focus fully on their treatment. The home-like atmosphere helps ease the transition into care and reinforces the idea that recovery doesn’t have to come at the cost of comfort.

Centering Wellness and Interests in a Substance-Free Life

Beyond the treatment schedule, clients have access to a range of wellness-oriented amenities, including a swimming pool, fitness center, spa, organic gardens, meditation rooms, and outdoor therapy spaces. Activities such as yoga, equine therapy, nature walks, gardening, and art and music therapy are integrated into daily life. These offerings provide structure, reduce isolation, and help rebuild routines centered on health and joy. For many, engaging in these activities rekindles interests and passions that substance use may have dimmed.

Clinical and Holistic Approaches

Care is delivered by a team of physicians, psychiatrists, PhDs, and licensed therapists, integrating evidence-based practices with medically-supervised detox and holistic support. Complementary therapies like acupuncture, massage, nutrition education, and mindfulness are woven in to treat the whole person, not just the addiction. This integrated model helps address underlying mental health concerns and promotes more sustainable recovery.

Planning and Support for Moments Big and Small

The Alumni Program, D365, is led by a dedicated Director of Alumni Services and supports clients after discharge through planning, alumni groups, and continued access to support networks. This ongoing connection helps clients stay accountable, build lasting relationships, and navigate life beyond residential care. For many, this community provides a source of stability and motivation in early recovery.

Patient Feedback

Patient reviews consistently highlight the caring, professional staff and the healing power of the peaceful, upscale environment. Many note the depth and individualization of the programming, and speak positively about the facility’s holistic therapies. Some mention the high cost and strict structure as potential drawbacks, underscoring the program’s intensive and exclusive nature.
