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!

Drug detox leads to drug rehab

Drug detox is the first step in cleansing your body of addictive chemicals and ridding yourself of addiction. As you’ve seen, drugs do lasting damage on your body. These changes create a painful and terrifying withdrawal experience. Drug detox helps your way into drug rehab by minimizing the withdrawal symptoms, allowing you a comfortable and quick transition.
