Addiction is a psychologically crippling disease. To succumb to substance abuse is to be stripped of one’s capacity for positive thought, and one’s sense of self-control. The best drug treatment facilities, then, are those which help their clients learn to feel good about themselves again. In the end, there’s no better foundation for meaningful and lasting recovery.

Those considerations, in turn, comprise the core of Sunset Malibu’s treatment philosophy.

With its world-class caregivers and elegant accommodations, Sunset Malibu is an unparalleled recovery destination. The center has always catered to upscale clients from every corner of the globe. Now Sunset is renewing its commitment to its core values, with the goal of delivering dignifying and ennobling care to individuals who seek it. At Sunset Malibu, the client’s emotional well-being always comes first.

“Our residents generally come to us with severe psychological issues,” said Sunset Malibu owner Richard Taite. “We believe it’s our duty to help them heal from the inside-out, which is why we employ advanced dual-diagnosis techniques and administer professional depression treatment. We’ve found that such therapies can mean the difference between the success and failure of the recovery process.”

But that commitment to whole-person healing is precisely what sets Sunset apart from its competitors.

It’s one thing for a rehab facility to pay lip service to the importance of emotional wellness. It’s quite another, though, for that institution to put principle into practice. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that many of the most high-priced clinics in Los Angeles fail to meet the psychological needs of their clients. It should come as no surprise that such clinics rarely produce positive outcomes for their residents.

Taite, for his part, believes that such failures are unforgivable.

“Our clients trust us with their lives,” Taite said. “We’re both honored and humbled by the responsibility, and we stop at nothing to justify their faith in us. At Sunset Malibu, recovery isn’t just a goal-it’s also the only reason we exist.”

It’s no secret that addiction ruins lives. What isn’t so obvious is that addiction treatment saves them. The caregivers at Sunset Malibu are leading figures in the fight against substance dependency. For those individuals lucky enough to receive their assistance, tomorrow really can be brighter than today.
