Pharmaceuticals Addiction

Treating an addiction to pharmaceuticals requires a different approach than programs designed for typical recreational drugs. A wide range of different drugs and circumstances could be involved, each with its own requirements. The staff at Cliffside Malibu have a great deal of experience in treating a wide range of pharmaceutical addictions and they assess each patient to determine the specifics of their addiction and design a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique situation. Our doctors provide advanced medical care during the initial detox period, where residual drugs are flushed from the patient’s system. Therapists and counselors then work with the patient, employing proven group and individual therapy sessions including not only intensive addiction counseling, but also psychological analysis to address any underlying issues.


Breaking free of a pharmaceutical addiction can be stressful and physically demanding, especially during the detox phase when withdrawal comes into play. Cliffside Malibu provides residents with exclusive, luxurious surroundings to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible during their treatment, and free of the distractions and stresses of their daily lives. Amenities include:

* private, two acre beach-front estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean
* a Cordon Bleu chef running a kitchen that provides exceptional meals
* fitness center and heated lap pool
* recreational activities including hiking, swimming and cycling
* alternative therapies such as massage, yoga and acupuncture
* spa treatments
* luxury appointments including plasma TVs, fireplaces and Internet access


Completing the pharmaceutical addiction treatment cycle, once a Cliffside Malibu patient is discharged, they have access to our highly effective after-care program.
