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!

Rapid DRUG DETOX

Detox helps your chances of recovery.

For many, medical detoxification, usually referred to simply as detox, is the answer to a lot of their addiction problems. Most substance abusers try countless times to quit “cold turkey,” only to return to drinking or using once the pain becomes too much.

Certain chemical and physical changes happen in the body when someone stops drinking and using, especially if the drug and alcohol use is severe and long-term. These changes trigger intense cravings for your drug of choice. This is just your body’s way of fighting change, but it’s quite a powerful reaction. Drug detox helps you through these biological changes with close medical supervision.

Detox is the safe way


For substance abusers with a particularly long history of drug and alcohol use, detox is more than a choice—it’s a necessity. Long-term or high-dosage drug and alcohol use cause biological changes in your body. In a nutshell, your body adapts so well to toxins that it now views drugs and alcohol necessary for its survival.

This doesn’t mean you can’t live a life without addiction, just that you’ll need some extra help taking that first step. Without medical supervision during the initial stages, you could suffer terrible withdrawal symptoms, even heart attacks and strokes.

Detox is for your comfort


Dr. Mohammad will be able to help you through each stage of your withdrawal symptoms, letting you know why they’re happening and also when to expect them to subside. Also, Dr. Mohammad will monitor and treat your withdrawal symptoms with appropriate medications.

These medications are so helpful that Dr. Mohammad offers rapid detox, even rapid opiate detox, in some cases lasting only a few days. Rapid detox is the first step towards your new life, one of health, wealth, and happiness. Who says drug detox has to be painful? Dr. Mohammad has helped hundreds of patients through the drug detox and recovery process.

In order to participate in outpatient detox and / or treatment, an individual must be ambulatory, have a low risk for withdrawal complications, and have a strong support system consisting of family members or significant others.
