At Creative Care Malibu, we believe that relapse prevention is a carefully built process that originates in the earliest stages of treatment. Throughout their stay at Creative Care, clients follow custom-created treatment plans aimed at resolving core reasons for drug use, alcoholism and addictive behaviors. Backed by a multidisciplinary staff spanning medical consultants, psychiatrists, psychologists, mind-body therapists and wellness experts, Creative Care Malibu guides clients to physical, psychosocial and spiritual stability. In the final phase of treatment, clients receive intensive relapse prevention guidance, identifying environmental, relational and emotional triggers, as well as establishing support networks ready for them upon graduation.

Families are heavily integrated into the Creative Care recovery plan. Special family activities and therapies allow relatives and loved ones to repair relationships ravaged by addiction. Families learn to strengthen communication, provide healthy support and rebuild relationships through addiction education, group meetings and individualized marital and family counseling sessions.

Our treatment approach uses a blend of traditional, emergent and evidence-based alternative therapies, aimed at providing psychoeducation, insight, experience and positive cognitive restructuring. As one of the most prominent certified dual diagnosis facilities, Creative Care Malibu offers clients simultaneous treatment of co-existing disorders and addiction recovery therapy, with a reputation for groundbreaking approaches aimed at those with secondary mental health conditions.

Clients detoxify under the careful watch of medical professionals, meeting with outside medical physicians three times each week as their bodies adjust to sobriety.
