Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment
The abuse of alcohol, prescription medications and illegal drugs remains at epidemic proportions, affecting an estimated 28 million adults and young people, as well as their families and communities. The alcohol and drug abuse treatment at Summit Malibu provides comprehensive support for individuals who want to reduce their chemical dependency and regain control over their lives.
Treatment Approach
In-depth assessment of each individual's unique situation allows for a treatment approach that is personalized and comprehensive. Recognizing that individuals vary widely in terms of motivation for treatment and life circumstances, the staff is committed to developing flexible strategies for achieving treatment goals. Both professional care and self-help approaches are integrated into the model. The alcohol and drug abuse treatment program's goal at Summit Malibu is to help patients achieve and maintain abstinence, reclaim a sense of self worth, and learn to manage the stresses of an active life without returning to substance dependence. For individuals who are dually diagnosed with substance dependence and other psychiatric illness, the program draws upon its’ expertise in this area.
Program and Services
Services are flexible to meet individual needs. Our alcohol and drug addiction treatment offers a full continuum of care, including outpatient services, detox and short-term, acute inpatient treatment.
Summit Malibu’s alcohol and drug abuse treatment programs provide comprehensive consultation and evaluation, group and individual psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy and family therapy. Short-term individual therapy focuses on the substance abuse problem, related family and professional issues, relapse triggers and coping skills.
Our alcohol and drug abuse treatment programs offer readiness for recovery groups for individuals who have not yet reached a decision about committing themselves to abstinence; early recovery groups; a women's group; a men's group and longer-term recovery groups that focus on relapse intervention, interpersonal and other problems, which remain even after abstinence has been achieved. To complement these services and encourage individuals' initiatives in their own recovery, many self-help groups are endorsed by our alcohol and drug abuse treatment program. These include Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, SMART Recovery and Al-Anon.
