The Treatment Process at Avalon Malibu
When clients arrive at Avalon Malibu for alcohol treatment, they begin with detox, a challenging but crucial first step. During detox, clients are closely monitored by medical professionals as they adjust to life without alcohol. Withdrawal often involves uncomfortable physical and psychological symptoms due to the body’s dependence on alcohol. Medications may be prescribed to alleviate these symptoms.
At Avalon Malibu, we emphasize healing through natural methods like a nutritious diet and exercise, providing sustainable, long-lasting tools for recovery rather than short-term solutions.
Following detox, our clients can transition into our residential recovery treatment at The Cottage House, our comfortable and community-oriented alcohol treatment facility.
Our residential program focuses on rebuilding your health, your strength and your support system, preparing you to return to sober life outside our walls. We understand that the effects of alcohol on your mind and body take time and healthy habits to fully heal. The goal of the treatment process at Avalon Malibu is to give you the tools you need to thrive substance-free in day-to-day life.
Teaching New Ways of Living
Alcoholism depletes mental and physical health, leading to unhealthy coping mechanisms and neglect of self-care. This often results in poor nutrition, which can exacerbate mental health issues, affecting memory, energy, motivation, and happiness.
At Avalon Malibu, we provide nutritional support to restore essential vitamins and minerals, encouraging physical exercise and mentally stimulating activities. These help replace harmful habits with healthy ones, equipping our clients with techniques to combat cravings and promote emotional well-being during recovery and beyond.
We teach our clients how to take better care of themselves. We are committed to each client’s recovery and to helping them build a strong support network.
We also offer long-term care for when our clients leave our programs through our far-reaching referral network of therapists and counselors.
When you come to Avalon Malibu’s Cottage House for detox and alcoholism treatment, we focus on your long-term wellness; ensuring that your healing continues beyond the detox phase, into your daily residential treatment with us and into your lifelong recovery.
Therapies for Alcohol Recovery
At Avalon Malibu, we offer a range of clinically effective therapies guided by our expert licensed therapist assisted by the rest of our staff. We offer group psychotherapy as well as one-on-one therapy for alcoholism treatment. In both of these, clients can learn how to share their experiences, see their behaviors objectively and deal with stress in a healthy way — without using alcohol. Avalon Malibu combines the approach of the 12 Step program with our own addiction and substance abuse therapies.
In our programs, clients are seen in individual therapy at least three times per week and work intensively with their therapists to examine factors contributing to their particular distress. We provide tools and support for exercising, meditating and practicing relaxation techniques that build a successful recovery. Group therapy, family therapy and other special programs are offered as they fit our clients’ and therapists’ schedules.
Our Residential Addiction Treatment Center in Malibu
The alcohol treatment center at Avalon Malibu is located in The Cottage House, our comfortable and secure addiction treatment facility. Here, we begin to teach our clients new ways of healthy living. We work to expose and destroy old patterns that do not serve their sober lifestyle, while building new coping mechanisms and behaviors that inspire life and affirm positive actions. This residential phase of recovery helps the client learn how to combat social pressure to drink, how to fill their time with healthy, substance-free activities and how to live and work alongside others. The Cottage House provides a sober living experience with direct, onsite access to therapy and other healthcare needs.
Co-Occurring or Dual Diagnosis
Many clients who arrive at Avalon Malibu’s alcohol treatment programs are also diagnosed with a co-occurring issue. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, approximately 25 percent of alcoholics and 50 percent of those addicted to drugs will also be diagnosed with a mental health condition like depression, anxiety or bipolar disorder. Due to the prevalence of these dual diagnoses, some treatment programs, including Avalon Malibu, offer multi-dimensional therapy for clients suffering from both alcohol addiction and mental illness. At Avalon Malibu, we specialize in treating multiple conditions simultaneously and offer therapeutic interventions founded on the evidence-based principles of mindfulness, present time awareness, acceptance, investigation and change. Motivational enhancement therapy (MET) combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) form the basis of our educational and therapeutic model for our dual diagnosis clients.
