Malibu Wellness Ranch Claimed

Malibu Wellness Ranch accepts many insurance carriers and is in network with Humana, Cigna, TRICARE, and ComPsych. I like that they always verify insurance before clients are admitted so that you have peace of mind.

Meds at Malibu

Many clients begin their recovery in their medical detox unit. I appreciate that the detox unit is kept separate from the residential clients. Here, you’ll be carefully monitored as you work through ridding your body of chemical substances. This process can be scary because of the chance of complications. At Malibu Wellness Ranch, you’ll have doctors and nurses monitoring you 24/7. I appreciate that they also provide different medications to make you as comfortable as possible.

Another focus during your detox unit stay is to give you the rest and nutrition you need. After detox, clients move to the residential area of the campus. At this point, your withdrawal symptoms are either completely gone or very manageable. At this stage of recovery, the focus will be on getting a better understanding of addiction as a disease. You’ll also be introduced to 12 Step programs. I’m blown away by just how many techniques they use to help people on their recovery journey.

Adventure without Addiction

All therapy and no play doesn’t make for a complete recovery. At Malibu, they provide you with both. This includes traditional therapy methods like CBT and family therapy but also cognitive restructuring, role-playing, and adventure treks.

I really like their equine program. You’ll work with horses and learn to care for them. Doing so can elevate your sense of compassion and empathy. Working at their ranch can also foster teamwork and leadership skills, not to mention providing a quick work out to relieve stress.

Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also available at all levels of care. This allows clients to get an extra biochemical level of support to train their brains and bodies to live free from substances.
