Why Malibu Horizon Is Different From Other Programs

“Our addiction treatment program is based on a medical model, addressing addiction as a brain disease with both genetic (biological) and environmental (psycho-social) risk factors.

“Most of the people who run Drug and Alcohol Treatment facilities are themselves “in recovery.” In their desire to help others, they cobble together an Alcohol rehab or drug treatment program based on what worked for them, or what they’ve seen others do. We wouldn’t dream of using the 12 Steps to treat diabetes or heart disease, yet most Drug and Alcohol Treatment facilities claim recovery is impossible without these steps! Just imagine if hundreds of clinics across the country, each offered a different treatment for the common cold!

Anxiety Disorders

Quick facts

Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental illnesses, affecting more than 20 million Americans, or almost 10% of the population.

Anxiety disorders cause paralyzing feelings of fear and hopelessness that make many normal activities frightening and impossible.

This disorder is not to be confused with normal feelings of nervousness or frustration regarding stressful situations.

Anxiety disorders are progressive and chronic mental illnesses.

Left untreated, it will make a normal and productive life impossible.

Many types of anxiety disorders

Although the different types of anxiety disorders manifest themselves in unique ways, they all share the characteristics of excessive and irrational fear. You can recover from all of them with proper treatment.

The most common anxiety disorders are:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Phobias

Panic disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder

This type of anxiety disorder refers to carrying out rituals that you cannot control, only in hopes of avoiding the fear and anxiety that comes as a result of not carrying out these rituals. Someone with OCD gets no pleasure in doing these ritualized actions, and these rituals often interfere with normal activity. OCD can be successfully treated with medications and/or psychotherapy.

Panic Disorder

Those who suffer from panic disorder have frequent attacks of crippling fear, often completely overriding normal functioning. Your heart may pound, or you may have tingling, numbness, flushing or feverish symptoms, all occurring at the drop of a hat. These panic attacks often occur as the result of certain “triggers.” Often, a person may not know what triggers their attacks, and is therefore unable to avoid them. You can defeat a panic disorder with proper psychotherapy and medication.
