Detox Treatment
At Cliffside Malibu, we know that detox is the critical first step on your path to recovery. Prolonged drug or alcohol use causes harmful toxins to build up in your body, making it hard to stop using on your own. Our detox program is carefully designed to remove these toxins safely and comfortably. Once detox is complete, your body and mind will be prepared for the next phase: personalized therapy that addresses your unique needs.
Residential Program
Cliffside Malibu provides private, luxury residential rehab where your confidentiality is always protected. Our experienced counselors and therapists are dedicated to helping you recover. Some of our team members have personally overcome addiction, giving them a unique understanding of what you’re experiencing. Their stories of success can inspire you and strengthen your determination to achieve your own recovery.
