They do this by using a range of approaches and therapies. Some of their services include medical detoxification, residential treatment with individual and group therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). They also employ spiritual practices, yoga, art and equine therapy, and mindfulness and meditation. Summit Malibu’s approach blends Western and Eastern practices to provide holistic treatment and create individualized treatment plans for each resident. Summit Malibu is accredited by The Joint Commission, and their team provides support 24/7.
Not only does Summit Malibu have a great location, an hour away from Los Angeles and minutes from the Pacific Ocean, but it also has a beautiful facility, with a pool, ocean views, and a resort-like feel for its residents. They focus on creating a relaxing and serene atmosphere all throughout the suites. Their founder, William Oswald, had a vision to help his patients separate from the pain and trauma that causes addiction and establish healthy connections and pursue a meaningful life. Summit Malibu’s mission is to help those struggling with drug or alcohol misuse, or with the co-occurrence of mental health disorders such as anxiety, PTSD, or depression, overcome their past life and transform into the best version of themselves.
