FAQ
What is your philosophy for mental health?
Our philosophy is explained in more detail on the “Our Healing Philosophy” page, but we are a clinically professional program that embraces evidence-based treatment from a systemic and comprehensive perspective. We believe mental health can be managed and nurtured in a way that makes you most successful in life.
Do you have an aftercare program?
Our aftercare plan is an important part of our treatment process at our luxury rehab center. We are committed to your mental health and ensure that your needs upon discharge are met with consistent goals.
What are your visiting hours?
Regular, scheduled visits from friends and family are recommended and encouraged. Their full support and encouragement will be a source of strength and confidence. They are also part of what we intend to treat.
Don’t come thinking you are just supporting your loved one—come ready to do some work yourself! There is a “guidebook for families in treatment” that will explain much more of the nuances and procedures of families visiting our Malibu rehab center.
What makes you different from other treatment centers?
There are 4 main points that distinguish us from other treatment centers.
- Our systemic and comprehensive approach to treatment.
This innovative, evidence-based, and now proven successful program is the reason our Malibu recovery center is referred clients by professionals from around the country.
- The quality of our staff and practitioners.
We spend time working together and train to work together to create a powerful team that surrounds each client and executes their treatment plan. Additionally, our Primary Therapists all have doctorate degrees in psychology and our Case Managers all have at least a Master’s degree. No other treatment center can boast such an educational level of its front line clinical staff.
- Our long-term commitment to the patient’s wellness.
We want to be working with our patients throughout the first year of their healing. Most long-term treatment centers will give you a follow up call once in a while; we want you to remain in constant communication, engaging the same professionals that you did while in treatment, perhaps by computer teleconference or phone, for as long as you can.
- Our focus on individualized treatment.
At our Malibu treatment center, we believe each person requires their own assessment and treatment plan. We believe treatment only works when it is designed for you.
Why is treatment so expensive?
Successful mental health treatment is a complex and resource-intensive process. Doing it well requires excellent staff, lots of time and good individual support and management.
The need for these comprehensive resources is why mental health treatment can cost so much.
You may want to also ask yourself, “How much does mental health treatment cost as opposed to the cost of not receiving treatment?” The cost to one personally can be measured in lost income, health care costs, lost opportunities, lost jobs, bad relationships and long term deficits that put an unending toll on your ability to function adaptively.
The burden of dealing with unaddressed mental health symptoms is evidenced by the effect it has on those that love us and feel helpless. The goal of treatment, and the expense involved, is also about helping our loved ones feel educated, understood and given real life examples of how to be a part of the solution.
