The Malibu Beach Recovery System quickly and effectively targets and restores the chemical imbalances in the brain which occur as a result of drug and alcohol use, and addresses all the aspects essential for long-term sobriety and recovery. The Malibu Beach Residential Program includes a two day family retreat with therapy, counseling, and direct experience with the principles of the program for all the family members. We encourage all clients to elect the 90-day program which combines Residential treatment at the Malibu house with a comprehensive Transitional Living Program at a sober house or with a life coach. 90 days of treatment is today considered the "gold standard" by industry professionals.
We are both discreet and boutique.
The Malibu Beach Recovery System is Comprehensive:
It is a holistic body-mind-spirit methodology (patented in Europe), for treating chemically dependent adults, based on scientific research and the traditions of the 12-Step Program. Executive Director Kathy Willis calls our system a “spa for the brain.” The Malibu Beach Recovery System recognizes that chemical dependency is a complex disease which has biological and psychological, as well as spiritual origins. The major focus of the Malibu Beach Recovery System is treating the true bio-psycho-spiritual cause of addiction. Recognizing that each client is a unique individual with particular addictive-compulsive behaviors, we tailor treatment.
During the Residential program, natural nutritional supplements are used to neutralize probable genetic deficiencies, ease cravings, alleviate anxiety and depression, and restore a healthy sleep cycle. To further support health and well-being our clients learn and engage in a unique exercise program developed over many years of research. The Malibu Beach Recovery Exercise Program, when combined with the natural supplements and the low-glycemic diet allows our clients to rapidly achieve a more stable mood and an enhanced sense of well-being. The multi-level biological component of the Malibu Beach Recovery System is designed to efficiently normalize and restore biochemical imbalances of the brain which were created by addiction.
The Malibu Beach Recovery Center Psychological Component:
The Psychological Component includes individual and group therapy, family therapy, and counseling. The goal is to restore our clients' value system from that of an "addicted" personality to a "healthy" personality, rebuilding his or her sense of self-esteem and personal responsibility toward self, family, and society.
The Malibu Beach Recovery System helps our clients obtain the skills of sober thinking and decision-making. Routine returns to their lives, and they learn to take responsibility for their actions. We believe that for psychological rehabilitation to be effective, our clients' newly established sense of well-being must be permanently stabilized. This is achieved and supported through the physiological component of the program.
The Malibu Beach Recovery Center’s Spiritual Component:
The Malibu Beach Recovery System to Addiction restores body and mind, and uses the most advanced scientific research in synergy with the ancient wisdom of yoga and meditation. This powerful combination effectively restores and enhances a deep sense of serenity and well-being. Hand-in-hand with the 12 Step Program and vital support of the recovery community, we help our clients to open to a Higher Power and completely transform their lives.
"The Twelve Step Recovery process is so successful because it provides a formula for integrating different levels. It is by recognizing that we are powerless to control our life experiences out of ego-self that we can access the power out of True Self, Spiritual Self. By surrendering the illusion of ego control we can reconnect with our Higher Selves." (Co dependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls)
The Malibu Beach Recovery Center Family Component:
The Malibu Beach Recovery System offers intensive family support and provides consultations, lectures, and workshops for family members. On the second or third weekend after a client is admitted, the client’s family and/or close friends are invited to attend a two day retreat in Malibu. During the retreat, they are provided counseling and hands on personal experience with the principles of the program, including exercise and cooking classes.
The Malibu Beach Recovery Center’s 90 Day Program

Our clients learn how to effectively maintain sobriety by continued adherence to these nutritional and exercise principles.
