Malibu Drug Rehab Offers Modern Treatment

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Why are the rehabs in Malibu California more successful? It is mainly because they take a much more holistic, modern approach. Addiction and alcoholism have been around for centuries. What has changes is new discoveries in how to treat it successfully. The research now indicates people need to be treated for all psychiatric problems as well as their compulsive drug seeking if they are going to have their best chance at recovery. Malibu drug rehabs understand not only this holistic approach, they also understand that addicts and alcoholics are sick, not bad, and deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect as anyone with a fatal disease.

Malibu Rehab Treat Co-Occurring Depression

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

Why is treating a co-occurring mood disorder, like depression, so important to the drug alcohol rehab process. It might very well be the reason why more patients are unsuccessful at long term recovery. The truth is, many alcoholics and drug addicts are self-medicating themselves. They are using drugs and or alcohol to self soothe a undiagnosed  and or improperly treated psychological condition. With that having been said, it should be considered a crime not to properly address the cause of a drug addict or alcoholic’s behavior. Yet, that is exactly what happens at far too many drug rehab programs, in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Visit Malibu Horizon

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

Malibu has come to mean the good life. Most people who can afford to live in Malibu can life the life of the rich and famous.  So it should not come as much of a surprise to learn there are some really nice rehab treatment centers in Malibu California. Actually, there are 19 of them at last count. That is a lot. Yes they are expensive. And yes, the level of care and services is well above average. Most Malibu rehab treatment centers offer better food, better accommodations and a higher level of drug alcohol treatment than other programs. Keep in mind, however, long term sobriety and abstinence cannot be bought at any price. It is something you have to learn and earn.

Federal Court Rules in Favor of Non 12 Step Rehab

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Recently, the drug rehab industry was set straight about whether or not the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous were religiously oriented and therefore faith based. A federal judge ruled an inmate, who was a devout atheist, could not be required to complete a rehab program that was based on the 12 steps. What this means, of course, is 99% of the drug rehabs in America are religiously oriented. And it does raise the question of separation of church and state when it comes to state and federal funding for 12 step based programs. Drug rehab, such as Malibu Horizon, should be about treatment and learning to live a clean and sober lifestyle, not about religion. Forcing drug addicts and alcoholics to take a big dose of religion, as the primary solution to their problem, might be why their rate of success is so low.
