What to Expect from a Rehab?

Drug and alcohol addiction is a sad reality for too many people. The consequences of addiction have repercussions that not many people understand at the outset. If you or someone you know wants to get control of their life back it could be as simple as entering treatment to address issues of addiction.

There are many contributing factors that can lead an individual to make a change. However, ultimately the person must be completely ready to make a change in their life. Not knowing what to expect can be one of the most uncomfortable parts of entering rehab.

At Serenity Malibu, we understand your concerns and answer any questions you may have.

Things to Consider Before Entering Rehab:

Having a clear understanding of what to expect can minimize anxiety. We offer a guided tour to help you get familiar with the processes, amenities, and environment at our facilities. Below are some basic questions we received, which you can also consider.

• How long will my treatment last?
• Can I bring a friend or family member?
• What kind of treatment will I receive?
• If I have a special diet need (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher, etc.) will the cooks here be able to make the right foods for me?
• What can I bring with me?

Make a list of questions in advance so you don’t forget anything during the tour. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable, almost like at home. Our team of counselors, doctors and therapists are ready to help you get your life back.

What to Expect During Treatment?

Our top-notch team of caring and compassionate professionals assists from the moment you walk through the door. Serenity Malibu is one of the few rehabs that provide a high level of one-on-one service in a luxury environment. This is what makes us so unique in the industry.

Treatment at our rehabilitation center is structured to provide the proper foundation for a healthy recovery. Our staff will guide you through different stages of dealing with your dependency on alcohol and or drugs. If necessary, you will go through a detoxifying process that is necessary for your body to completely recover from the effects of addiction.

Immediate Attention (First Step):

Upon arrival, you will undergo a comprehensive medical assessment and intake exam. This allows our team to develop a personalized recovery program tailored to your specific needs. Each client will receive the right type of attention.

It is important to understand that while there are similarities in successful treatment, each client has a different way in which they relate to the program. Your progress will be reviewed weekly and modified as needed to obtain the best results.

Individualized Treatment Program:

The treatment approach is based directly on your addiction, medical condition, and psychological state once you have been assessed appropriately. Next, we combine a number of treatment options, ranging from therapeutic to medical detox. Since every client suffers from an individual and diverse type of addiction, different approaches are taken to achieve the same ultimate goal, to break the cycle of drug and alcohol dependency.

Physical Activity:

Physical exercise plays a crucial role in the recovery process. We provide activities like hiking, tennis, surfing and kayaking into daily routines to enhance the overall treatment experience.

We also provide alternative treatment therapies like acupuncture, art therapy, yoga, meditation and music therapy to enhance the recovery process and promote a state of calm and centering. Our holistic approach to recovery and wellness helps clients make physical, mental, and spiritual progress.

Relapse Prevention:

Understanding and preventing relapse is a key component of our program. It is a major point to discuss openly that addiction is not one that will go away forever. It is important to learn healthy coping mechanisms that help deal with triggers. Our relapse prevention strategies are designed to help you maintain long-term sobriety and continue leading a life free from addiction.

Luxury Accommodations:

During your stay at Serenity Malibu, you will have access to luxurious accommodations and world-class meals prepared by our chefs, tailored to meet your nutritional needs and personal preferences. Our beautiful surroundings and amenities add comfort to your residential treatment experience, making your stay as pleasant as possible.
