James and Bentz Inc - The Pointe Malibu Recovery Center

Safe, Affirming Support for LGBTQ+ Clients

The LGBTQ+ Affirmative Treatment Program is designed to meet the specific needs of clients who often carry the added weight of marginalization, identity-based trauma, and isolation. The program goes beyond general inclusion, offering clinical care from a team trained in gender-affirming and culturally responsive practices. This includes trauma-informed therapy, access to LGBTQ+ community resources, and a space where clients can be themselves without explanation or defense.

Utilizing Nutrition and the Body’s Nervous System to Support Recovery

This program features a clinical model that sees nervous system regulation as central to recovery. Clients are supported in moving out of states of shutdown or stress and into connection and safety, supporting the body to feel safe so that the mind can fully engage in change. That principle extends into everyday practices like breathwork and surf therapy, as well as into the Dietary Wellness Program. Meals are nutrient-dense and brain-focused, with omega-rich, anti-inflammatory ingredients chosen to reduce cravings and support mood balance. Even food becomes a tool for resilience.

Privacy and Ocean Views

Set on a gated oceanfront estate in Malibu, the environment is designed for privacy and peace. From the therapeutic use of nature to the panoramic views, this facility supports a sense of calm that makes space for the work of recovery. Clients live in furnished suites with access to beach walks, private balconies, and communal meals served gourmet-style. By creating physical safety and comfort, the facility enables emotional openness, making therapy more effective and sustainable.

A Program Built for Professionals

Professionals facing substance use or mental health challenges often struggle to step away from work or protect their privacy. The Pointe Malibu’s Executive Program is built around those realities. Licensed professionals, corporate leaders, and individuals in high-profile roles receive individualized care that honors both clinical needs and career demands. Schedules are flexible when possible, with options for remote work and sober companionship during business travel. Executive coaching and case management start from day one, helping clients plan not only for stabilization, but also for reintegration into life and work with renewed clarity and support.
