There’s Something Happening Here…
Rise in Malibu is a luxury, drug & alcohol treatment facility that is on a mission to help. In the midst of this substance abuse epidemic, a few great minds (and big hearts) got together to open a program that truly treats substance abuse as the mental, spiritual and emotional malady that it truly is. When it came time to begin building our treatment center team, we knew we needed the best of the best. Our clinicians and staff have been on the front lines, “walked the walk“, and continue to be an integral part of many substance abuse recoveries. Our staff has experience in traditional, clinical, and holistic modalities and bring the best of these to one beautiful facility, Rise is Malibu.
The goal of the Rise in Malibu treatment program is to teach our clients how to live life without the use of drugs & alcohol to mask their problems. We will assess your mental, physical and spiritual needs and formulate a treatment plan that works for you. Rise in Malibu is your top choice for substance abuse treatment. Our caring, knowledgeable staff is on a mission to help you take back your life.
