Get Addiction Help Today

In the 1960s, the counter-culture indulged in hallucinogens and brought them to the world’s attention. Hallucinogens are a class of drug that distorts the user’s perception of reality. You may have heard this referred to as a trip. While tripping, you can’t function normally, such as going to work or attending classes, and you may see and hear things that aren’t really happening. You may have started using hallucinogens recreationally but now find yourself facing addiction. There are long-term health issues for hallucinogen addiction. You may experience weight loss, depression and anxiety. Depending on the hallucinogen you use, you may experience damage and changes to brain chemistry.

But there is hope to change all this damage around when you seek hallucinogen addiction treatment and finally obtain lifelong recovery. Learn more about Cliffside Malibu’s luxury hallucinogen addiction treatment in California.

Walking Alongside You in Recovery

Hallucinogen Addiction Treatment and Rehab in California

Many people use hallucinogens as a means to escape their everyday lives. It might be that you can’t deal with the stress in a healthy way or that you have certain triggers that make you want to escape. When you decide to recover from hallucinogen addiction, it can be beneficial to work with a treatment team in an in-patient facility, where you can find the care and compassion you need to become successful in recovery. You are able to leave your daily concerns at home and concentrate on your own well-being.

When working with a treatment team, private therapy sessions give you the chance to explore the triggers and behaviors that led to your hallucinogen addiction. You’ll also develop new tools for dealing with those triggers to minimize the chances of a relapse. Family counseling might also be a part of your private therapy sessions. In many cases, hallucinogen addiction takes a toll on all of your loved ones. Putting time into repairing these relationships is essential as you’ll need their support when you leave your treatment center.

Group therapy is also a valuable benefit of a treatment center. You meet with other people who struggle with addiction. With a counselor leading the discussion, the people in the group share their own stories and discover yourself reflected in these stories, as well. It’s also possible to find new ways of dealing with your triggers and ways of curbing your own behaviors during these sessions.

Personalized Care

Stages of Change for Addiction Recovery

At Cliffside Malibu, we base our individualized luxury treatment plans on the Stages of Change model. The Stages of Change model, created by James O. Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente at the University of Rhode Island, illustrated how those seeking to recover from addiction go through a series of “stages” that allowed them ultimately to transcend their addictions and maintain sobriety. This means that we meet you where you are mentally, physically and spiritually, helping you to overcome the deep-rooted issues that have caused your addiction to flourish.

The staff of Cliffside Malibu was personally trained by Prochaska on this powerful treatment model. It is the hallmark of our treatment program. Learn more about the Stages of Change.
