Malibu Hills Treatment Center

They provide inpatient residential and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Malibu is set up for.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 3 places near Malibu that do it.

They take older adults as well as adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Malibu.

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Malibu.

Malibu has 20 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Malibu offers both.

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. A diagnosis made during active use often changes once withdrawal is behind somebody. If trauma is part of this, ask what specific therapy they offer for it.

Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
