About Rise in Malibu in Malibu, California

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.
