Our Therapeutic Approaches

The foundation of any effective treatment program is robust, professional medical care. At Rise in Malibu, we believe in a comprehensive and proactive approach. Our medical team includes board-certified physicians, nurses, and specialists who are adept at managing the complexities of substance abuse. From detoxification to ongoing medical assessments, our team ensures that you are physically safe and healthy throughout your recovery process.

Detoxification is often the first step in recovery, and it can be a daunting experience. At Rise in Malibu, we provide 24/7 medical supervision to manage withdrawal symptoms compassionately and comfortably. Our goal is to ease this initial phase and prepare you for the more profound therapeutic work ahead.

Every journey is unique, and individual therapy is a cornerstone of our treatment program. One-on-one sessions with our experienced therapists provide a safe, confidential space to explore the underlying causes of substance abuse. This personalized approach allows you to delve deep into your experiences, thoughts, and emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based modalities form the bedrock of our individual therapy sessions. Your therapist will collaborate with you to develop a customized treatment plan, setting realistic goals and milestones tailored to your specific needs. This level of personalization not only nurtures trust and rapport but also empowers you to take ownership of your recovery.

Evidence-based therapies are central to our approach at Rise in Malibu. These therapies are grounded in rigorous scientific research, ensuring their effectiveness in treating substance abuse. Here, you will have access to a variety of evidence-based practices, each designed to address different aspects of your mental health and substance use.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and altering dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors.
• Motivational Interviewing (MI) involves working with you to enhance your intrinsic motivation for change.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) aims to address traumatic memories that may be contributing to your substance use.

Our therapists are trained and experienced in these modalities, ensuring you receive the highest quality of care based on the latest scientific insights.

Connecting with others who share similar experiences can be profoundly healing. Group psychotherapy at Rise in Malibu provides a supportive environment where you can share your story, listen to others, and gain new perspectives. Through facilitated discussions, role-playing, and group activities, you will build essential interpersonal skills, empathy, and a sense of belonging.

Group therapy sessions are led by skilled therapists who guide conversations, ensuring they are constructive, respectful, and enriching. This collective experience fosters a sense of community and support that is invaluable during the recovery journey.

At Rise in Malibu, we embrace a holistic approach to healing. We recognize that true recovery extends beyond stopping substance use; it encompasses nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic therapies are designed to complement traditional treatments, enhancing overall well-being and promoting lasting recovery.

• Yoga and Meditation: These practices offer a space to reconnect with your inner self, reduce stress, and foster mindfulness.
• Nutritional Counseling: A balanced diet is crucial for physical and mental health. Our nutritionists will work with you to develop a personalized meal plan that supports your recovery.
• Art and Music Therapy: Creative expression can be incredibly therapeutic, allowing you to process emotions and experiences in non-verbal ways.
• Acupuncture and Massage Therapy: These techniques can help alleviate physical pain, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

Our holistic therapies are seamlessly integrated into your treatment plan, offering a well-rounded approach to recovery.
