Luxury Addiction and Mental Health Treatment Center in Malibu, California

An important and sensitive condition to also treat when it comes to addiction or alcoholism is dual diagnosis. This is also referred to as co-occurring disorders (COD). It requires experts who specialize and are experienced in treating people with these issues. What is a dual diagnosis? It refers to people who suffer from another major disorder besides their dependence on drugs or alcohol, whether it is an eating disorder or bipolar disorder. Other co-occurring disorders include depression, anxiety and trauma. Whatever the COD is, there is evidence that patients have a much better chance at long-term recovery when both problems are treated at the same time.

More and more research has shown that addiction is not an isolated problem, and often stems from other emotional and psychological disorders. So for a person to recovery properly, one has to heal the entire person, not just one isolated part. This means that understanding the entirety of an individual’s addiction and COD is required to provide the most effective treatment program for them.

Treating clients with dual diagnosis is very important; because oftentimes clients have a complex set of problems and could suffer from very serious consequences if not treated in the correct way. They are more likely to become homeless, relapse or exhibit self-destructive behaviors without the proper care. While some people have treated their addiction and COD separately, treating them both at the same time, with an integrated program of care, is truly the most promising and effective way to help end the suffering once and for all. At Seasons in Malibu, that’s what we strive to do every day.

One of the trademarks of Seasons is our emphasis on holistic addiction treatments. More than just the latest trendy treatment, holistic treatments for addiction are a huge step towards helping people achieve long-term recovery and understanding that addiction stems from a variety of different factors.

Understanding which holistic treatments will best counteract addiction and hasten recovery is part of the Seasons protocol. Additionally, we offer classes in nutrition, and we incorporate regular exercise into the treatment regimen, further promoting balance between the body and the spirit.

Seasons believes that part of learning how to live with long-term sobriety is not to be completely cut-off from the world while receiving treatment. At some point, our clients will have to return to everyday life. You are free to bring your laptops and cell phones, which after 3 to 5 days of stabilization will be returned to you for use while not in sessions. We have Wi-Fi throughout the facility and provide printers and fax machines as needed.

For men and women who will miss their family or other loved ones, please bring photos or other keepsakes as inspiration and reminders of why you have chosen to enter treatment. You should view inpatient rehabilitation as an opportunity to have a respite from the pressures and responsibilities of everyday life. It’s okay to put your outside life in the back of your mind. It’s also okay to not leave the outside world completely. At Seasons you have a choice, while you will be undergoing intensive treatment to put you back on the right path.

Anyone who has ever loved or cared about someone with alcohol or drug addiction problems knows how hard it is for their loved one to finally admit they have a problem. And, in some cases, the problem becomes so extreme and out-of-control that it truly becomes a matter of life and death to convince that individual to get help. This is when an intervention might need to be staged.

An intervention is when people orchestrate a meeting with an individual they believe to be ruining their life or marriage because of serious drug or alcohol use. The subject of the intervention is usually confronted by many close people, friends and family members, who will recite to the individual why addiction is so destructive and why they have come together to have this intervention.

They may issue ultimatums, and the meetings sometimes become highly charged and emotional. This is why having a professional interventionist present to supervise the meeting and keep everyone on the same page, with the same goal, is very important. At heart, an intervention will force the individual to truly face the costs of their addiction, such as:

• Losing custody of children
• Being cut off from friends and family
• Losing their livelihood
• Going to jail
• Facing the devastating health risks

An interventionist will generally meet with the people staging the intervention beforehand and create a plan so that the intervention has the highest chance of success. If you believe that a loved one is in need of an intervention, you can contact Seasons in Malibu to find out more about the process and to speak with one of our interventionists. By doing so, you may actually save someone’s life.

Seasons will provide you with all the amenities you will need, and please keep in mind that to ensure no drugs or alcohol are brought in, we advise you to only bring basic supplies, such as clothing and personal hygiene items. At Seasons you will enjoy 5-Star care and treatment in unsurpassed surroundings.

Clients are served delicious and healthy food, created by our Le Cordon Bleu-trained chefs, who are experienced in catering to individual food needs and tastes. We endeavor to create a warm, supportive environment where your only concern and focus should be on your recovery.

Another huge benefit of receiving treatment at Seasons in Malibu is that we understand that the journey of recovery continues after our client’s time at Seasons has ended. Aftercare is extremely important to maintaining long-term sobriety. It can be an extremely stressful time for someone who is trying to transition back into their life but is still vulnerable. In essence, one has to figure out how to re-live a life without the crutch of alcoholism or addiction. This is why Seasons believes so much in offering our clients aftercare support.

The Seasons Aftercare Program allows our alumni to maintain easy access to the counselors, case managers and Primary Therapists they met with and formed a bond with while in treatment at Seasons. It also allows for clients to continue to integrate their families into their counseling and therapy, and stay actively involved with the addiction therapy community. By adding this component to your treatment protocol, not only will it make the transition to the outside world less stressful and alien, it will greatly increase chances for long-term success.

In addition to aftercare, Seasons also offers the help of a sober companion. A sober companion is someone who spends time with a client during their regular life, to get them acclimated to life without addiction.

They will offer advice, support, and help during your time of transition to a life free of drugs and alcohol. They will get you involved in local support groups, find you a sponsor, if applicable, and take you to your first meeting with a qualified therapist back home. Many sober companions have had problems with addiction themselves and can offer invaluable guidance and insight to our alumni. Seasons proudly offers sober companion services at the request of the client.

Addiction is something that you can and will overcome with the right treatment and dedication. Seasons in Malibu has a high success rate because we view our clients as individuals with individual needs, who deserve the absolute best in evidence-based, addiction treatment and aftercare. This is what motivates us. This is our commitment to you.

Because of the complexity and expense it costs to deliver world-class addiction treatment with the passion our entire staff brings to the table, Seasons isn’t the cheapest option for treatment out there. But, because of our dedication to maintaining a high success rate, it’s an absolute requirement that we have the resources to provide our clients with luxury rehab and treatment of the finest quality. When it comes to receiving high-quality care for addiction, this is when shortcuts shouldn’t be taken. While considering the costs, it should be remembered that the process of life-altering, inpatient rehabilitation will inevitably save you money over the long term. The costs of alcoholism and drug addiction can be immeasurable in terms of broken relationships and marriages, lost careers, medical bills, jail and, ultimately, lives cut short.

The bottom line is that the most important consideration for coming to Seasons in Malibu should be how deeply you want to recover from your addiction and start living the life you were meant to live. Learn more about the costs associated with drug rehab.
