Dear Cliffside Malibu: I’m a member of your dual diagnosis alumni program. I still come back to the Cliffside on Wednesday evenings for ongoing support. I think it’s important for others who may be suffering from this affliction to come forward for a consultation, because it may be the most important step they take. I’d been through several rehab session in the past for substance abuse issues, but no one ever caught on to the fact that I had a co-occurring illness in the form of depression. My depression was never treated, so I was never able to get fully clean. When I tried Cliffside Malibu, my therapist picked up on the possibility of a dual diagnosis and I was amazed at the amount of time spent on not just physical, but psychological assessments. Cliffside successfully treated not only my drug addiction, but the depression that was at the root of my troubles. If your doctors hadn’t been so on the ball, I’d probably still be cycling through the doors of rehabs. The privacy of the residence was something else that really helped me to get through the program -no worries about outside life intruding on your treatment and the feeling of staying in a luxury resort.
