Rise in Malibu is a premier luxury treatment center dedicated to guiding individuals toward lasting recovery. Founded during the height of the substance use epidemic, Rise was built on the belief that addiction is not just a physical illness, but a mental, emotional, and spiritual challenge that requires comprehensive care. To bring this vision to life, Rise in Malibu assembled a world-class team of clinicians and staff—leaders in both traditional and holistic treatment modalities—who continue to play an essential role in countless successful recoveries within our serene coastal facility.
At Rise in Malibu, clients are treated by top professionals from across the nation, including doctorate and master’s-level clinicians, medical doctors overseeing detox, psychiatrists specializing in addiction, licensed therapists, nurses, case managers, group facilitators, and holistic practitioners. Each client undergoes a full assessment of their mental, physical, and spiritual needs, ensuring a treatment plan designed specifically for them. Therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and family therapy provide multiple paths to healing. This integrated approach blends modern, holistic, and traditional methods to address the mind, body, and spirit.
Clients at Rise in Malibu receive highly personalized care, including weekly sessions with an addiction psychiatrist, ongoing support from an addiction medicine specialist, and three individual therapy sessions each week. This structured yet adaptable approach ensures every client’s treatment is effective, relevant, and impactful. Community-based recovery is also built into the program, with both 12-Step and non-12-Step options available to match each client’s preferences and recovery style.
Set along the stunning California coast, Rise in Malibu provides a private, modern, and comfortable environment for healing. Clients enjoy breathtaking ocean views, beach access, a pool, private rooms, and chef-prepared meals customized for dietary needs. Off-site experiential therapies include ropes courses, hiking, ocean activities, and animal-assisted therapy, creating opportunities for growth beyond the therapy room. To ensure long-term success, the Continue Rising Aftercare Plan offers structured housing arrangements, outpatient care coordination, peer recovery groups, and ongoing case management—helping clients stay supported long after their time in Malibu.
