Local Respiratory Therapist Lobbies Washington D.C. for Better Health Care

Respiratory therapist Paul Sherman, MS, RRT, RPFT, RCP went to Washington, DC March 8 2009, representing California Respiratory Care Practitioners, to ask members of Congress to allow Medicare patients with lung disease to have greater access to the services of a respiratory therapist. 

Paul Sherman is a respiratory therapist at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and lives in Goleta, California.

Sherman met with Representatives Frank Wolf, James Moran, Senator Jim Webb, Carina Armenta of Senator Barbara Boxer’s office and Tim Gronniger, aid for Congressman Henry A. Waxman to ask their support for the Medicare Respiratory Therapy Initiative. Sherman plans to meet with Representative Lois Capps when she returns to her home district of Santa Barbara. Congressman Henry A. Waxman is the Chairman of the Energy and Commerce committee.

The Medicare Respiratory Therapy Initiative legislation will let patients more easily receive care in doctor’s offices from respiratory therapists, which is currently restricted under Medicare law. “Currently,” Sherman explains, “Medicare policy limits how patients can receive care from respiratory therapists, who are the expert caregivers for lung patients. We think that needs to change.”

Sherman is a member of the Political Advocacy Contact Team (PACT), a nationwide group organized by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) to spearhead grassroots level advocacy efforts. Sherman is also a long time member of the California Society for Respiratory Care (CSRC) and has served in the past on the Board of Directors of the CSRC.

The California Society for Respiratory Care (CSRC), as an affiliate of the American Association of Respiratory Care (AARC), is a non-profit professional organization, whose mission is to represent and support our members through public and legislative advocacy, educational opportunities, and to continuously strive for excellence in the cardiopulmonary profession. By these means, the CSRC is committed to health, healing and disease prevention in the California community.

Drug Abuse Continues To Climb Among Teenagers

A crowd of concerned parents and community members from this New York City area town convened recently to discuss the alarming rate at which their teenagers were becoming addicted to drugs. Forty-four 

percent of tenth graders and 55 percent of twelfth graders participate in binge drinking, reported Seth Weitzman, a principal in the Mamaroneck School District. Quoting from a recent teen survey conducted by Larchmont-Mamaroneck RADAR, a community coalition group formed to reduce substance abuse in their Communities; Weitzman spoke with alarm to community leaders as well as parents and citizens about the statistics, which he said were more than twice the national average among high school students.

In Oak Park, CA, a suburb just north of Los Angeles, John George of the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement for the California Department of Justice, reported that approximately 14,000 students from 115 public schools, both junior highs and high school, polled for a 2007-2008 study had tried drugs. Speaking recently to concerned parents and faculty at Oak Park High School, George warned that, beyond the direct impact that substance abuse poses to the health of students themselves, it was also found at the root of serious car accidents involving students. Nineteen percent of California youths involved in auto crashes had been using marijuana, George reported , noting that today’s “joint” is far stronger than its predecessors in the 1960s and 1970s.

Complicating the problem, he noted, is the increasingly large number of homes where both parents much work and, as a result, are not as available to their teens when they need emotional support, encouragement, counsel or just a listening ear. Plagued with depression, anxiety and a plethora of other social stresses, teens were increasingly turning to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain that coming of age in today’s economically and socially ravaged society involves.

Parents care. That’s not the problem. They want to be there for their kids. But sometimes being there and caring aren’t enough. Involvement of concerned and compassionate drug rehab professionals in a safe environment is the key.

One drug treatment center in Malibu, CA, providing just such Drug Rehab counseling in a private, family-style setting is Sunset Malibu. Featuring both conventional and holistic treatments, the drug rehab center focuses on providing lasting freedom from substance abuse, tailored to the needs of the individual and coupled with life skill training.

Drug rehabilitation for teenagers, of necessity, requires a different approach than it does for adults, Sunset Malibu staff maintains. Because youth are in their formative stages, they explain, the damage they can do may often be long-term, affecting not only their health but every other aspect of their lives from relationships to employment to their overall ability to experience a productive, satisfying life.

For this reason, the professionals at Sunset Malibu say, residential drug rehab centers are to be preferred over outpatient programs. At residential facilities, teens have 24/7 access to caring, trained professionals who can respond to their special needs as maturing individuals. Due to their stage of development, teens need input from others even more critically than adults, drug rehab center staff said, because their lack of life experience makes them less able than adults to handle the various challenges they meet on a day-to-day basis.

At Sunset Malibu, teens receive the specialized kind of support they need to become free from substance abuse. The drug detox program is safe, gentle, and involves both traditional and holistic methods. Teens are given constant supervision and support during the entire detoxification process, allowing the drug detox experience to be weathered with greater strength.

After Drug Detox, residents learn important life skills that will help them make positive choices that will lead them on the path to productive, satisfying lives. For more information, visit www.drugrehabsunsetmalibu.com.

About Sunset Malibu: Sunset Malibu is one of California’s top residential care facilities for adolescents and adults seeking freedom from addictive behaviors, including substance abuse, pain killer addictions and eating disorders.

CliffsideMalibu.com Takes Privacy and Confidentiality Seriously

It has come to our attention that a 3rd party has written a Press Release about CliffsideMalibu.com without it’s authorization and in fact, wrongly stating that CliffsideMalibu.com had in fact written this Press Release. Nothing could be further from the truth. Without referring to the specific article but instead, posting our response on all of the websites that the previous article had been posted on we want to assure all past and future clients that no one at CliffsideMalibu.com would ever, in any way, shape or form enter into the practice of disclosing the identities of any of our cliental, no matter what the practice of other facilities claiming to be high end. Our statement is, always has been, and always will be, that we can neither confirm, nor deny, the admittance, past or present of anyone seeking private, confidential treatment at our facility.

It is clear CliffsideMalibu.com takes their client privacy and confidentiality very seriously. The facility is hidden away in a private, very exclusive part of Malibu. Not only is confidentiality of utmost importance due to the sensitivity of the treatment being provided there, but a great deal in fact because the patients that are treated at the center are often times very high profile. The owner, understanding this special need, wants to ensure that all of his patients can comfortably recover knowing that confidentiality is not a concern.

A quick visit to their site shows a client testimonials page, filled with an outpouring of gracious “thank you`s “, all signed with initialed last names or simply “Name Withheld”. Further demonstrating that their client names are always treated with seriousness in confidentiality.

With so many highly recognizable public figures finding themselves in need of addiction or disorder treatment programs, it`s no wonder the media and paparazzi have attempted to publicize and exploit the celebrity in need of such treatment. It`s easy to see such media frenzy has surrounded many of Hollywood`s elite, along with their attending treatment centers. Cliffside has recognized the risk in extending its services to the type of public figures that would bring the media and paparazzi swarming the facility. Not wanting to jeopardize the privacy of the other guests, they have even opted out of treating some high profile celebrities at their center. The guests at Cliffside can rest assured, knowing that the staff cares so much about their recovery they would deny service to high paying, Hollywood elite, before they would endanger the other guests safety and privacy.

I think it takes a special breed to own and operate a drug and alcohol treatment facility. You have to truly care for the people you are treating in order to cultivate a positive and effective environment. The patient’s successful recovery is paramount for the on-going success and reputation of the treatment facility itself. Cliffside`s staff has obviously come from that special breed. With a personalized treatment program guided by philosophy that boasts one-to-one patient/therapist interaction, coupled with the most peaceful and luxurious surroundings one can buy, it`s no wonder high profile public figures and local clients alike choose CliffsideMalibu.com as their treatment center. A great deal of the recovery process involves trust in the providers of that treatment. I am confident that trust has been earned and will continue to be given by all who have visited the Cliffside facilities.

This Press Release was written by Jenny Amato, a volunteer for CliffsideMalibu.com. For more information on the facilities drug rehab and other treatment programs, feel free to contact admissions@cliffsidemalibu.com or call 1-800-501-1988.

Drug Rehab – What Are Your Options

Options for drug rehab unveiled for the U.S. There are many different types of addictions out there.

Depending on what type of addiction you or your loved one is dealing with will depend on what type of treatment you are going to want to get. For example if you are addicted to alcohol you are going to want to go to an alcoholism treatment center. If you are dealing with a drug problem you are going to want to get help from a Drug Rehab facility.

There are a variety of different drugs that one can be addicted to. Not only can people get addicted to illegal drugs but also prescription drugs. More and more often it is occurring that people are getting addicted to prescription drugs because they can get them more often from their doctors.

Some people don’t even realize that they are addicted until it is too late. Some people get addicted by accident. For example they have a variety of surgeries one after another for one thing or another that causes them to be on prescription drugs for a long period of time.

Things that family members might start noticing are that your loved one keeps more to them self. They stop doing the things they use to love doing. They don’t hang out with friends anymore. They might start hanging out with people you would rather not have them hang out with. They start lying about things or making excuses for their behavior. They may also start acting sick a lot or saying they are in pain all of the time. The reason for this is so they can get prescription drugs from the doctor.

If you are seeing these signs or realize that you are doing these things yourself it might be time that you start looking into what is going on in yours or your loved ones life. This will help you to determine if there is a drug problem or not. In some circumstances the person that is being accused of having an addiction problem will not come out and admit that they have a problem. If this happens then you will probably need to get some more people involved and try to get down to what exactly is going on.

Once you have decided to get your loved one some help you will want to make sure that you look into all of your options. You will want to think about the pros and cons of every option available to you. You will want to make sure that you take into account how your loved one might react if they have to be put in a drug rehab facility. When you are looking at different drug rehab facilities you will want to make sure that you look at every aspect of what is involved. You will want to look at the different facilities and what type of staffing and activities they involve. You will want to look at where they are located at. Even if they are located in another state than which you live. Getting some one that has an addiction out of their own comfort zone may be a good thing depending on the circumstances. The reason for this is they might take it as they are starting over fresh. They may feel more like they are starting over new if they are not in their normal surroundings.

These are just some of the different things that you will want to take into consideration. When you are looking into taking the first step make sure that you really do some research about what type of help is out there beyond what you can do at home. Make sure that you get all of your questions answered.

About the Author: Chauntel Greenwald has been writing articles for years now. She loves what she does. She has done a lot of articles in the past about drug rehab. Over the years she has been able to learn a lot about drug rehab facilities which helps her to better understand the information that people who are searching for help are looking for.

Safe Landing For Fallen Addicts

Leave a comment

Revolutionary techniques and training utilized in therapy sessions at Cliffside Malibu provide addicts with a new outlook on life. This drug treatment center lies just outside the hustle and bustle of the Los Angeles area. In terms of what the center has to offer its patients, the surroundings seem like a world apart from the much more famous Los Angeles area.

Upon arrival patients will find competent staff members that are well versed in the area of drug treatment. 

Staff stand ready with open arms to welcome patients who are ready and willing to make that all important first step towards recovery. Therapy sessions are conducted on an individual and group basis. Other forms of therapy utilized by the center include massage therapy and integrating horses into a unique hands-on therapy that helps patients deal with the obstacles they are faced with and make a fresh start.

Cliffside Malibu does not believe that drug rehabilitation should be a carbon cut template process. That is no two patients should be treated for the same addiction in the same manner. The center goes to great lengths to establish an individual rehabilitation program that caters to who the person is as an individual. The generalization of the addiction behavior is left out of the recovery process.

Patients are evaluated by a primary therapist that will determine the best course of action in terms of the rehabilitation process. Each patient recovery program developed for drug rehabilitation starts with a determination of how the patient can best be treated for the addiction behavior. As this is being completed, therapists try to pinpoint if a second addiction also exists with the patient. The initial addiction is treated first and then subsequent ones after that.

Additional support reaches out to the patient’s family through a 3 day family recovery program as well. Through the three day process, Cliffside Malibu works with the family to repair the damage done by the patient’s addiction. Nothing will be fixed overnight but it is a step in the right direction towards healing the entire family. It is an essential part of the drug treatment recovery program that ensures a patient returns to a supportive environment once the treatment program has been completed.

Accommodations are not what one thinks of when the words “drug treatment center” is mentioned. Cliffside Malibu is not a typical rehab center. Several of the common areas in the center feature 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean. There are areas isolated for meditation, relaxation as well as other recreations such as games and working out. Personal chefs are available to provide nutritious meals. Patient rooms offer all the comforts of home without harming treatment being received.

Some may criticize making accommodations comfortable and providing patients with activities such as hikes, walks on the beach and yoga classes. Staff at Cliffside Malibu would strongly disagree. Patients who enter drug rehabilitation are not being punished for the choices they have made in life. It is the direct opposite. They are working hard in therapy and other treatment aspects of the program to make a fresh start in life. Cliffside Malibu believes that providing comfort outside of the therapy setting can enhance all the hard work being done inside the therapy rooms. As patients feel comfort and safety, they are more likely to open up in therapy. By opening up, they are allowing the healing to begin and therefore working to rid themselves and their life of addictive behaviors.

Cliffside Malibu keeps all inquiries and patient information confidential and patients are ensured a welcoming, safe place to leave the destruction behind and create a brand new life once leaving the center. Additional information can be found online at www.cliffsidemalibu.com and via email at: admissions@cliffsidemalibu.com.

About Cliffside Malibu: Cliffside Malibu provides full scale treatment programs for a wide range of addictions. Staff is professional and discreet in dispensing the best course of action that serves an individual need to ensure the right course of action is taken the first time around. This ensures a successful second start to life in a healthy, happy, non-addictive manner.

Addicts Find A New Life At Drug Rehab Center

Leave a comment

Pieces of everyday life come together to create a social norm that gets people through the day. Some pieces are healthy and some are unhealthy pieces that posses the ability to unravel a person’s life in the blink of an eye. In those moments, drug rehab can be the saving grace in life.

Drugs are a readily available piece of everyday life. It does not take a detailed thought process to access various forms of drugs. With a little time and effort, everyone can pinpoint a personal connection to drugs in their life. The connection can come from a friend of a friend that deals drugs or from a shady part of town that offers drugs by the cart load. Cliffside Malibu stands ready in those troublesome moments to be that hand reaching out to provide much needed help and support. A drug rehab program at Cliffside Malibu is tailored to the individual and not the addiction.

Treatment begins by pinpointing the moment in life that a patient lost it all. That moment can come as a result of tragedy such as losing a loved one or just an overwhelming feeling from life getting the best of a person at one time or another. Cliffside Malibu recognizes that two drug addicts can not receive the same drug rehab and have a successful conclusion. That is why each treatment program matches an individual need to ensure that person gets the needed building blocks for recovery.

Cliffside Malibu takes a drug rehab program one step further by including the family of the patient. At first a patient may feel like the addictive behavior only affects them. As treatment continues, the patient begins to realize that the addiction caused negative behavior that directly affects the lives of those loved the most, family members. Special steps are taken to ensure that family members are included in the treatment process and educated on what to expect as the patient creates a new life. Family is provided with the understanding that the new life for the patient will be a constant daily endeavor. Support and love matched with the external guidance of the center will work towards a successful new life for the patient.

Upon arrival to the center, patients will find a warm and welcoming environment there to greet them. Many of the rooms feature a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. Personal chefs are on hand to provide nutritious meals that will give physical energy to sustain a patient through the rigors of drug rehab treatment programs. Accommodations offer a comfortable place for patients to sleep and recharge bodies for the next step of treatment. Not every second of a patient’s stay at the center is focused on treatment. There are plenty of opportunities to relax and make new friends if desired.

Staff at the center approach drug addiction from several different angles. Therapy is offered on an individual and group basis. Opportunities for hands-on therapy are presented through programs such as equine (horse) therapy and massage therapy. Additional staff members in the drug rehab center include herbalists, acupuncturists and residential advisors. These advisors serve as a patient’s friend ready to provide support as needed to help through every step of the process.

Cliffside Manor offers a wide range of treatment programs for addiction behaviors. Among the treated addictive behaviors at the center are alcoholism, drug addiction, depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Additional information on all that the center has to offer can be found at www.cliffsidemalibu.com or by emailing admissions@cliffsidemalibu.com.

Treat The Individual And Not The Disease Says Cliffside Malibu

Leave a comment

It is virtually impossible to pinpoint the exact moment in life when one turns to an outside source for an internal solution. At times life can consume an individual and become so unbearable that something is needed to help ease the pain felt at the moment. Cliffside Malibu understands these moments and has designed a drug rehab program to cater to individuals who find themselves lost in an instant.

It is a pain often felt to the very core of a person’s soul and in those moments, there is no visible solution than turning to alcohol. The individual fails to realize how a split second decision turns from a temporary relief into an addictive behavior. Cliffside Malibu knows that is the moment when a person needs drug rehab the most. Addictive behaviors have a way of turning deadly in a heartbeat. What starts as a way to relieve stress quickly turns into a lifestyle choice that includes stealing from loved ones in order to feed the addiction.

The drug rehab center created by Cliffside Malibu works step by step with a patient to pinpoint the life events that led to the development of the addictive behavior. Through treatment, patients begin to realize that alcohol addiction disrupts not only their life but the lives of those they love the most. Rarely does an addiction such as alcohol affect only the individual. Family and friends bear the brunt of the addictive person who is struggling to survive.

There comes a point in every Drug Rehab program where the patient bottoms out. This is the moment when the struggle becomes too intense and the patient begins to feel that the battle will be lost. Cliffside Malibu comes into the picture at full force with a staff specialized in the discreet, safe rehabilitation to patients in need. Rather than treating the alcohol disease, Cliffside Malibu looks at the individual. All aspects of life are taken into consideration such as recent traumatic events or changes in the family structure.

Upon arrival to the center, patients undergo an analysis process to determine the best course of drug rehab treatment. Cliffside Malibu sits just outside of the Los Angeles area and offers breathtaking views of the ocean. Patient confidentiality is of utmost importance to the center. Clientele registers include politicians, movie stars and rock legends. Accommodations include private rooms, laundry and internet service and transportation off grounds if needed.

The rehabilitation program does not end once a patient has checked out of the facility and returned to everyday life. Cliffside Malibu firmly believes that drug rehab expands past the center walls and into a patient’s re-entry into the outside world. Family is consulted with to ensure that the course of treatment a patient receives continues with their full support. In the event a patient exhibits more than one addictive behavior, the center works to treat the most pressing behavior first and then each subsequent one following that.

Staff on hand at Cliffside Malibu to help a patient through the drug rehab process includes acupuncturists, massage therapists, holistic medicine practitioners and personal trainers. Services offered throughout treatment include various forms of therapy such as physical therapy and relaxation therapy and counseling on an individual and group basis.

Each patient receives cutting edge treatment options in a center that provides the comfort and safety that is often missing from a patient’s outside life. At Cliffside Malibu the cardinal rule of thumb is that success in drug rehab relies greatly on treating all aspects of a patient as a whole. This entails taking the time to recognize the physical and psychological sides of a patient and working towards a treatment from that point.

Drug Rehab Center Puts Patient Needs At The Top Of The List

Leave a comment

Inside of a secluded piece of land just outside the hustle and bustle of the Los Angeles area lays a place where individuals can seek help for an addiction and regain their control on life. Cliffside Malibu offers a drug rehab program that sees the individual first and the addiction second. The staff is experts in the field of addiction recovery and utilizes services and knowledge to establish a treatment program that can be tailored to meet individual needs.

Upon arrival to the center, patients will not find stiff, impersonal white walls with bunk bed style accommodations. Those accommodations are reserved for a traditional drug rehab center. There is nothing traditional about Cliffside Malibu. Many of the main rooms that patients will find themselves in offer 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean. Living accommodations are available on a private or semi-private setting that offers all the comforts of home. Meditation gardens, outside patio areas and a comfortable living room complete with a television and games is made available to patients.

Cliffside Malibu offers treatment for a variety of addiction behaviors. Among those on the list are alcoholism, drug addiction and eating disorders. A variety of techniques are utilized in the Cliffside Malibu drug rehab program such as therapy on an individual and group basis. Some forms of therapy step outside the traditional treatment box. Staff utilizes physical therapies that maintain a hands-on approach and often includes psychological treatment as well.

One common reason many individuals seek out treatment at Cliffside Malibu is their alcoholism program. Staff at the treatment center fully understands that alcoholism stems beyond not being able to put the glass down or passing on an invitation to drink. There is the guided thought process that no two alcoholics are alike. Although there may be two patients suffering from an alcohol addiction, the same therapy program can not be utilized for both patients. Each must receive a personalize drug rehab program.

For that reason alone, Cliffside Malibu offers several varied approaches to drug rehab treatment. Therapists span a wide range of specialty areas such as equestrian therapy, spiritual therapy and hands-on therapy that include herbal and massage therapy aspects. Each of these therapy approaches work hand-in-hand with a personal chef and resident advisors that closely work with patients to help pinpoint the root of an addiction.

Cliffside Malibu fully recognizes that an addiction is rarely an act by itself. Many individuals enter the facility with a ‘single’ addiction such as drugs or alcohol. After some time in the drug rehab program, the realization occurs that there are very often two or three more addictions that have gone unnoticed in the patient’s life. Each one comes together to strip a patient of the things most valued in life and replace those things with negative aspects. Through careful, hand-on therapy, the patient begins to deal with each addiction and make that all important first step towards a new, healthy life.

Drug treatment often comes with a social stigma attached. Cliffside Malibu instantly removes that blocker by boasting a clientele listing that includes some of the biggest names in the music and movie industry. Patient confidentiality is of the upmost important to staff and personal information is never disclosed. This leaves patients free to gain the recovery needed and start building a new life without the fear of a social press conference being held at the same time.

Alcohol Rehabilitation Center Provides A Second Chance Start To Life

At some point in time, everyone feels as if their life is spiraling out of control. In that split second moment, each person scrambles for that person or place that will help get them back on their feet and face life again. Cliffside Malibu alcohol rehab program provides that helping hand for alcoholics to reduce a dependency on alcohol and make a fresh start.

Research indicates that approximately 50% of driving accidents are caused by a drunk driver behind the wheel. Some of those impaired drivers will need a car accident to wake up and realize that they have a problem. Others may turn up their nose at the mere thought of someone getting behind the wheel of a car after having too much to drink needing an accident as a wake up call. For the Cliffside Malibu alcohol rehabilitation center, this situation is seen as a cry for help.

Staff at Cliffside Malibu maintains a professional approach to assisting alcoholics with treatment. There is no judgment or disapproving stares in this drug detox program. Personnel are technically equipped with the best tools needed to help an alcoholic pinpoint the root of the problem and make that all important first step towards recovery.

Cliffside Malibu is a full service treatment program providing alcoholics with a safe place to engage in drug detox to reclaim their lives. Before entering into a rehabilitation program, there are several things that need to be considered to ensure a person obtains everything out of the treatment program. First and foremost a patient must be willing to admit that there is a problem and open to seeking a solution for that addictive problem. Alcoholism is just one of the many addictions that the center treats.

Upon arrival patients will see breathtaking views of the ocean as the treatment facility lies just outside the Los Angeles area. Patient rooms are equipped with the comforts of home without including too many luxuries that may detract from the Alcohol Rehabilitation treatment focus. Amenities include gourmet meals, laundry service and transportation off center grounds as needed.

The Alcohol Rehab Program focuses on several aspects of treatment for each individual. Each aspect of the program coordinates with one another to ensure that patients are receiving the best possible treatment for their alcoholism. Aspects of treatment include therapy in both an individual and group setting. Physical and psychological components of the patient are also taken into consideration.

There is often a social stigma associated with receiving treatment for alcoholism. Cliffside Malibu removes that factor by boasting a clientele listing that includes politicians, movie stars and musicians. All patients receive the same confidential services regardless of what their social status is on the outside world. Staff is experienced, professional individuals that have patient success and best interests at heart at all times.

Everyone needs a safe place to come when addiction rules their life. Cliffside Malibu works to be that place for every addict. Staff does not pass judgment on the lifestyle choice that brings a patient to their front door. Instead a healthy way to make a fresh start is sought after together.

Individual Addiction Treatment Plans Are Hallmark Of Cliffside Malibu

The experienced staff at Cliffside Malibu drug rehabilitation center all have one thing in common: the treatment and well being of each resident.

Located north of the white sands of Zuma Beach, Cliffside Malibu not only boasts a breathtaking, 180-degree view of the Pacific Ocean, but also a staff of highly experienced and caring individuals whose common goal is to successfully support people with drug and alcohol addictions through rigorous treatment plans and usher them back to their normal lives. At Cliffside Malibu, this means ensuring individually personalized drug treatment, specific to the needs of each resident.

Most of Cliffside Malibu’s residents lead normally upscale lives, and can readily manage to pay $63,000 a month for drug rehabilitation in one of the most lavish treatment centers in the United States. The philosophy at Cliffside Malibu is to treat, not penalize, the residents they serve.

To this end, the facility has spared no expense in its simple, yet grand style of architecture right down to its tasteful, sophisticated accommodations and amenities present in each resident room, lounging areas, dining room, patios, pool and surrounding grounds of the property.

However, these spectacular outward signs of luxury do not imply any degree of ease when individual drug treatment plans are administered. The ways in which this is done is the hallmark of Cliffside Malibu’s success as a prominent drug treatment center. Meticulous one-on-one care underlines all medical and psychological approaches and treatments.

From the time a potential resident calls to ask questions about the facility, a staff member initiates a “relationship” with this person. This communication may guide specific future care issues based on the caller’s personal and individual needs and concerns.

When a resident arrives at Cliffside Malibu to check-in for treatment, they are assessed clinically and psychologically and matched with their own primary therapist who will be their support base throughout their stay.

The doctors, therapists, counselors, resident supervisors, right down to chefs, dieticians and culinary staff, all want an individual in drug treatment to succeed. They know how to do this by crafting amenities and treatment plans to meet the needs, desires and comforts of each individual in attendance.

In many cases, staff professionals treat a resident for more than one addiction and/or psychological issue, or dual diagnose. This occurs in patients with substance abuse/addictions and a concurrent emotional or psychological condition.

Cliffside Malibu is a licensed, dual diagnosis facility that uses traditional and non-traditional types of treatment and therapy including acupuncture, massage and yoga, herbology, equine therapy, and group and family programs. Other treatments can consist of detoxification, “life assessment”, spirituality, behavioral therapy, the 12-step program, art therapy, journal writing and more.

Dual diagnoses are a unique component of a resident’s stay at Cliffside Malibu. Assigned therapists are alert to any and every nuance associated with dual diagnoses as they diligently monitor any changes in patient behavior, which may compound the duality of illnesses.

The familiar comforts, which certain patients expect, are generously provided so that a patient’s focus on treatment and recovery is prime and immediate.

Before recommending or administering programs for specific addictions, personal details and circumstances of a patient’s life are explored. Personal counselors and therapists who specialize in treating a particular addiction will individually work with a patient throughout their stay and adapt treatment components to suit that patient.

Cliffside drug treatment center specializes in interventions, alcohol addiction, cocaine and heroin addiction, pharmaceutical, methamphetamine and opiate addiction, gambling and porn addiction, eating disorders, depression and dual diagnosis.

If recovery is sought here, rest assured that it is the best possible place that can be found to help a human being back into life and love.

One of the hardest parts of addiction recovery is taking that first step and verbalizing that a problem really does exist

Until that point it is easy for an addict to pacify the negative behavior as a way to relieve tension or handle a bad day in the office. Somewhere inside there is a little voice telling the addict that the behavior goes way beyond that flimsy excuse.

An addict’s worse fear is confrontation about what is going on in his or her life. They go to great lengths to avoid uncomfortable discussions to the fact with family and friends. When a boss starts hinting at an addiction problem, the addict quits his job and walks out the door. When a friend brings up the same problem, the addict walks away and deletes the friend out of her cell phone address book. Great life changes are made to avoid these situations.

Addiction takes on various formats. There is eating disorders, drugs, alcohol, anxiety, depression and the list goes on and on. Each addiction starts with its own circumstances. Likewise each addiction also comes with its own hurdles that must be overcome if an addict has any hope of recovery. Still the recovery process is not easy.

Cliffside Malibu is a place to start. Staff is trained in the areas of addiction treatment and knows how to be that effective first hand reaching out to an addict in the moments when all hope feels lost. One of the first steps that staff members take once an addict arrives for treatment is to engage in an intervention process.

The target objective of a staged intervention is to call attention to the addiction without allowing for excuses or escape options to be given. This may seem like a harsh way to start a rehabilitation process. However the staff at Cliffside Malibu knows that in order to be a successful drug rehab program, steps must be taken for the addict to face their addiction problems as soon as possible.

For this intervention to work, staff may approach family and friends about their participation in the event. Addicts often forget that they are not the only injured parties in this situation. Family and friends bear the brunt of anger, stress and addictive behavior as the addict stops at nothing to get that next soothing fix. These are the people that know the addict best. These are also the people that have been hurt the most by the addiction.

Staff at Cliffside Malibu is aware of these and other issues that will come up as the intervention process begins. There is a specialized intervention team in place at all times ready to help the addict make that first step towards admitting there is a problem. Addicts may get angry and say or do things that would be viewed as hateful in the outside world. Intervention members do not stand in judgment against the addict or turn their backs. Instead a helping hand is offered and the addict is made to feel safe and secure. In this environment many times an addict feels secure enough to come to terms with the addictive behavior and let the recovery and healing process begin.

Once this admission has been made, productive alcohol treatment can begin. Intervention team members are with an addict from the moment he or she walks through that door. From that point a personalized treatment plan is devised that will best meet the needs of that addict. Team members work to set a starting point that will get the addict moving in the right direction. After awhile those hateful moments of the first day intervention are replaced with life long friendships towards a staff that helped the addict get back on track and make a new choice for life.

About Cliffside Malibu:
Cliffside Malibu offers treatment program approaches based on individual need rather than a mass group approach. All treatments are tailored to each addict and include equine therapy, acupuncture and yoga. The rehabilitation center offers treatment for drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, depression and anxiety among others.

There’s a way to relax and be as stress free as possible while undergoing alcohol treatment in Malibu California

Leave a comment

And yes, it’s the same Malibu that’s home to many celebrities and those seeking a California beach lifestyle.

Many strolls through the beachside location will help focus thoughts on the changes ahead. Chefs prepare terrific meals which you may eat in the airy and light dining room. Guest rooms are spa-like and refreshing. There’s a new buzz going around about addiction treatment, and you’ll find the answer right here at Sunset Malibu. Relaxing in the lovely gardens or taking in a Pacific sunset, or perhaps talking with new friends also undergoing treatment, or just being alone in your guest suite reading a book, will help you focus on addiction treatment and getting better.

Alcohol addiction is a monster of a disease and it’s often chronic. But, how do you even contemplate breaking out of the mold of this treacherous path? Trying to make a go of getting better on your own is, to quote an old cliché, a great uphill battle. Once you have decided for yourself that life must get better, contact the professionals here at Sunset Malibu. Just making that first decision to call and receive any information you need, will relieve a lot of stress that you may be feeling.

Undergoing an alcohol rehab program is not easy. The thing is about any kind of addiction treatment – it must be personalized to be effective. While advice from a friend may be of help in some ways, why not save yourself a lot of time and wasted energy – energy not directed towards getting better – by going direct to the source for one of the best in Southern California. The huge number of programs offered here at this facility helps ensure that each person that needs help gets it and can be sure that the treatment is a perfect fit.

The kinds of programs offered at Sunset Malibu are called holistic. They treat the whole person here instead of focusing on just the drug-caused problems. It is like, at most rehab places, they are treating just your hand or perhaps maybe just a foot or leg. And honestly, how good would that be? A whole human being with an addiction problem has to be treated as a whole person, hence the holistic approach.

People from every ethnic group and background can suffer from the disease of alcoholism. Best results are obtained when a recovery program is tailored to each individual’s needs. And why not undergo this recovery in a facility that offers luxury amenities and a smaller number of guests? How can recovery and the experience itself be very effective if there are few undertrained staff, many people trying to get help at the same time, and a mediocre organization that is merely “doing their best”? Sometimes in literature, addiction is almost glamorized. It is not glamorous. It is a disease and what’s glamorous about a disease?

When you sign up for addiction treatment at Sunset Malibu the cliff side vista and blue Pacific vistas will help you to relax and concentrate. They have two acres of wonderful grounds, gourmet chefs, five star-like guest rooms, even a personal trainer for the gym. The fitter you are mentally, the better you will be able to concentrate on recovery from your addiction. Someone you know may have descended into the living purgatory that can be addiction. Don’t let it happen to you when help is close at hand.

So, if you have decided to “give it a go” and begin your recovery to health and a sense of wellbeing, try the new approach at Sunset Malibu. After your stay is over here, and as you are driving away, you know deep inside that whenever you pass by Sunset Malibu, at whatever time of the day, you will always think of this place as your sunrise, and never your sunset.

About Sunset Malibu:
Professional staff offer the most gentle and effective care for alcohol, drug and food addictions, plus depression.
