Holistic, Non-12-Step Approach

Passages Malibu offers a non-12-step treatment model that moves away from traditional group-based programs. Instead, the focus is on identifying the underlying psychological, physical, or emotional contributors to substance use. Treatment incorporates both clinical and holistic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, acupuncture, and meditation. Clients are not assigned labels and are encouraged to view recovery as a process of healing rather than lifelong diagnosis.

Intensive One-on-One Therapy

A defining feature of Passages is its emphasis on individual therapy. Clients work closely with a dedicated team of therapists and receive frequent one-on-one sessions tailored to their evolving needs. This individualized attention supports deeper therapeutic engagement and allows for flexible, client-centered treatment planning. Therapy options include family and couples counseling, relapse prevention, and support for co-occurring mental health challenges.

Private, Oceanfront Residential Setting

Located on five private estates in Malibu, the facility combines clinical care with resort-level comfort. Each client has a private room and bathroom, and many spaces offer views of the Pacific Ocean. Amenities include a gym, spa services, swimming pool, and gourmet meals prepared by professional chefs. The setting fosters both discretion and relaxation, designed to support recovery in a serene, non-institutional environment.

Full Spectrum of Medical and Holistic Care

Clients have access to medical detox services, residential treatment, outpatient care, and sober living. The facility provides medication-assisted treatment options such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, and psychiatric medications, along with services for co-occurring disorders and chronic conditions like HIV and Hepatitis C. Holistic offerings, such as massage therapy, yoga, art therapy, and nature walks, are integrated into daily schedules to support whole-person healing.

Patient Reviews

Many reviewers describe Passages as a life-changing experience, praising the facility’s one-on-one therapy model and its attentive, empathetic staff. Clients often express gratitude for the physical comfort and emotional safety they felt during treatment. However, some reviews note issues with insurance verification, and at least one person likened the experience to a “vacation,” raising questions about the balance between luxury and clinical rigor.
