The 28-day comprehensive residential
program has been carefully designed to provide our clients
with Brain Building and Mind Reconstruction™–
the practical skills essential to overcoming addiction and
maintaining long term sobriety. Every component of the Marshak
Method™ and every activity on the daily schedule –
is an essential and interlocking piece of this essential
first phase of the recovery process.
The residential program is
located in luxurious home-like setting in the serene Malibu
hills overlooking the ocean. Antique furniture, contemporary
art and beautiful vistas bring tranquility to our clients,
allowing them to give undivided attention to the intense
rehabilitation process they are going through.
The story about famous Greek
philosopher Pythagoras tells us that once he was sitting
on the top of the hill teaching his students. A beautiful
girl passed by. She noticed the crowd. Envious of the attention
given to Pythagoras by the students who were intently listening
to him, she said: “Hey Pythagoras! Do you think your
students are devoted to you? If I call them they will follow
me and leave you.” Pythagoras replied: “Of course,
they will – because to climb up the hill is much more
difficult than to roll down the hill.”
The same is true for the rehabilitation
process. We know that every 15 minutes not spent actively
participating in recovery related activities takes the person
whose goal is achieving sobriety “down the hill”
– that is to say, back to their disease. That is why
our treatment center is based on the principle of intensive
rehabilitation. During the 28-day residential program the
participant "climbs the peak" of sobriety by attaining
skills which allow him or her to live a full and joyful
life without drugs.
Our clients wake up and attend
a short inspirational meeting, and are presented with the
goals of the day. After taking bio-active food supplements
which are individualized based on the results of their genetic
test, our clients participate in the morning exercise class
– Energy Replenishment.
This is followed by breakfast.
The food in the clinic is prepared by a gourmet chef according
to principles of the special Marshak Recovery Diet developed
by Dr. Yakov Marshak. All meals in the Marshak Clinic provide
a positive stimulatory effect on our clients' mood –
in contrast to the usual meals most people are used to eating.
After breakfast clients have individual or group therapy,
or actively participate in the a variety of recovery workshops
and educational lectures. Our expert staff provide individual
attention and support in helping our clients obtain essential
knowledge and understanding about the debilitating process
of addiction, and what is required for successful recovery
from the disease.
After the morning sessions
and a short 15 min break, our clients go to a second exercise
class – called Energy Enhancement, and this is followed
by gourmet low-glycemic lunch. After lunch which, just like
breakfast, creates an uplifting active state of mood, clients
participate in the afternoon therapy or groups, oriented
to learning practical skills. During this time clients learn
to implement the new knowledge they obtained during morning
session.
In the afternoon, after completing
the afternoon sessions, our clients take another set of
bio-active food supplements, and participate in the evening
exercise class – Calming Release, where they practice
relaxation techniques. After dinner, clients have time for
individual homework, and individual consultations with their
psychotherapists. Every evening there is a 12-Step meeting
at the Clinic; once a week clients attend a 12-Step Meeting
in the local community. The day ends with inspirational
self-support meeting and evening meditation.
Addiction robs people of their
dignity and life before it kills them. We can help you achieve
sobriety now - and maintain it for life.
