Residential Treatment at Passages Malibu
Residential treatment at Passages provides a private, supportive setting to step away from day-to-day pressures and focus on the underlying causes driving alcohol or drug use. Our approach is holistic, individualized, and non-12 Step — designed to help you build real momentum that continues well beyond your stay.
Residential Treatment at Passages Malibu
For nearly twenty years, Passages has been setting the standard with our revolutionary one-on-one holistic treatment programs. From the moment you check in to the moment you graduate, you will experience the highest level of treatment innovations and healing techniques to help eradicate addiction for good. Other treatment centers cannot match the level of service and expertise that Passages Malibu offers.
There are many reasons why Passages is considered one of the most respected programs in the world, and one of them starts with the story of our co-founder, Pax Prentiss. Pax had a ten-year addiction to drugs and alcohol. During that time he sought help at cookie-cutter 12-Step programs only to find himself lost in group meetings, hearing the same message about addiction being a disease. Those treatment experiences broke Pax down — making him feel less than human and powerless.
The holistic, non-12 Step program at Passages Malibu was created to offer what was missing in traditional 12-Step programs. You are not labeled an “addict” or defined by a disease. It is possible to heal the underlying causes of addiction and build the life you have always wanted.
If you have been to other treatment centers and experienced approaches that felt counter-productive to healing, you should consider Passages Malibu. Like our thousands of alumni, you will be blown away by the quality of our treatment programs.
The grounds at Passages Malibu are breathtaking — but our treatment team is what truly makes this a special place. Your daily schedule includes a variety of holistic therapy methods designed to help you discover and heal the underlying conditions driving your addiction. You can finally be at peace, knowing you have arrived at the right place, surrounded by caring people who will help you break free from addiction.
