The Malibu Beach Recovery Center At A Glance

The Malibu Beach Recover Center is a Residential Primary Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program, which includes medically-supervised detoxification, and is licensed and certified by the State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs.

A 21st Century Approach to Addiction

The Malibu Beach Recovery Center (MBRC) uses a neuro-biological approach to immediately help restore and balance the chemistry of the brain, and rejuvenate the body’s natural reward system.  This system utilizes very specific amino acids and natural nutritional food supplements in combination with carefully selected yoga-type exercises to being the recovery process.  When used in combination with our famous MBRC low-glycemic “Recovery Diet,” clients achieve a sense of comfort and well-being in as little as eight days.  In addition, we also have daily educational groups, therapy groups, individual therapy and 12-Step work to create a solid foundation for long-term recovery.

Our residential program and detox center is located in a beautiful setting in the hills of Malibu, California.  The transitional living programs are in West Los Angeles and Malibu.

Duration of Program:

MBRC offers and recommends a 90 day program.  The first 30 days is at our primary treatment location in Malibu, the second 60 days is at one of our extended care facilities which continues many of the techniques learned in the primary phase.  For clients unable to stay for the full 90 days, we are able to offer other options, including the use of coaches and remote teleconferencing.

Special Track for Diabetics:

The MBRC low-glycemic diet includes a special track for diabetic addicts/alcoholics that helps maintain normal glucose levels after meals while in treatment and enhances body sensitivity to insulin.

The Family Program:

Using a powerful family systems approach, MBRC assists families through education, individual counseling, and a unique two stage reunification process.

12-Step Meetings:

Clients attend 12 Step Meetings in the community several times a week in addition to in-house 12 Step Panels and Big Book study.

After Care Program:

Recent studies by the National Institute on Drug Abuse confirm the importance of following residential treatment with 60 days at a Transitional Living House. We offer several choices.  Many of our clients elect to live at Brentwood House, an elegant sober living which is located in an exclusive West Los Angeles neighborhood, where clients continue to adhere to a modified version of our exercise, diet and food supplementation programs.  Residents of the Brentwood House work regularly with MBRC coaches to strengthen their sober life skills, as well as returning weekly to Malibu to continue work with their personal therapist. They also participate in educational workshops led by professionals in the field of recovery.  Others, especially established professionals, return to their jobs and families accompanied by a MBRC coach, who helps them adapt their healthy new life style and mood sustaining tools to a non-clinical environment.

Relapse Prevention: 

Immediately after arriving at MBRC a neuro-physiological assessment is done to determine (1) the current ability to learn and unlearn behaviors and (2) physical and emotional cues that will trigger cravings. Physiological deep relaxation training will also start immediately. During the second week, when the brain has “cooled” and the client has adapted to the environment, an EEG is taken of each client’s brain and a brain map is created. During the 60 days of Transitional Living, clients learn how to normalize brain function with the assistance of a trained technician and minimize or eliminate areas of stress and trauma, while continuing a modified MBRC exercise program, taking food supplements and following the low-glycemic diet. At the 6-month point, another EEG is taken to gauge improvement during treatment.
