Malibu Rehab – Programs
A Malibu rehab should have a number of complimentary addiction treatment programs available as part of its residential in-house approach to recovery from alcoholism. Whilst it is difficult to generalise about the nature of therapy, whilst in a rehab therapy normally takes several different approaches.
There is often quite intense one-to-one therapy with a client. This can be effective in the short term, given that the normal length of stay in a Malibu rehab is approximately one month.
Obviously longer-term therapy might be needed once a client has left rehab, and this would need to be assessed on an individual basis.
A Malibu rehab is likely to have either daily regular group therapy sessions with all residential clients attending.
The nature of group therapy can vary widely, but in the context of a rehab, the group therapy is likely to be seen as an opportunity for clients to begin the process of talking about their problems in a safe and secure environment.
The cost of a Malibu rehab will be geared towards coverage by insurance. The rehab should have a dedicated team of personnel who can help advise you on whether your insurance plan covers you or not.
Assuming that you have an insurance plan does cover you, make sure that the Malibu rehab is clear at the outset of any additional costs that may not be covered by your insurance, and that these are agreed at the outset of your entry to the rehab.
A Malibu rehab should have access to detox facilities and personnel, if needed. The rehab may be able to provide these themselves, if not they should have arrangements with a local facility such as a hospital which can provide detox if needed.
