            About Serenity Malibu Addiction Treatment Center
Serenity Malibu Addiction Treatment Center offers luxury inpatient treatment for addiction to alcohol and drugs. You can find their resort-style location in Malibu, California, in a lush residential part of town.
Their program is incredibly discreet, with capacity for only 8-10 clients at any given time. This ensures personalized attention at every step of the process, from medically supervised detox to aftercare planning.
A Medically-Guided Treatment Process
Their treatment process begins with an assessment that considers genetic and behavioral factors to give you the most effective and sustainable plan. Whenever possible, they’ll include a family assessment and identify any diagnoses before progressing with treatment.
The family assessment examines your dynamics and identifies unhelpful behavioral patterns you share. They also include an educational component for your loved ones to give them a chance to ask any questions they have about the treatment process.
Medical detox is often the next step, which uses medications to protect you from dangerous withdrawal symptoms and keep you comfortable as your body detoxes. You’ll then start attending individual and group therapy sessions in between holistic approaches that enrich your life.
Programming That Fulfils the Soul
Although their amenities are breathtaking, what really sets Serenity apart is the way they’ve filled their treatment program with holistic activities that aim to calm your mind and fulfill your soul. They call this their healing regiment.
To help you process your thoughts and feelings, they have journaling activities and art therapy
Being in a beautiful part of the state makes it easy for them to incorporate nature immersion into their program. You’ll frequently spend time outdoors with the care team and other residents, whether it’s hiking through the rolling hills or surfing the famous Malibu waves.
