About The Meadows Malibu

With stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and steps away from the beach, The Meadows Malibu offers tranquil retreat for those struggling with addiction, mental health issues, or co-occurring disorders. They provide a variety of treatment methods from evidence-based therapies, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to holistic remedies, like acupuncture and yoga. The Meadows also has a Brain Center in their facility which is used to address the neuroscience of the trauma causing these issues for their clients. They use neurofeedback therapy here to train brain functioning, and they also use Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES), Heart-Rate Variability (HRV), and Chi Machine in this area. This is available to all of their patients to better help their treatment. Additionally, they offer case management support to find the best suited plan for each patient and a special nutrition plan.
A rustic cabin tucked away in the Malibu hills, The Meadows Malibu is a 12-bed home that offers activities like hiking, surfing, and soccer. They run their center based on the three principles that form the core of psychological functioning which create our life experiences: mind, thought, and consciousness. They not only help their clients towards recovery, but they also help educate them on how to grow and live by these principles. Their programs are tailored to the patient’s unique clinical, health, social, work, and personal needs. They are accredited by The Joint Commission, and they are a private pay program.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like The Meadows Malibu provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

The Meadows Malibu offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 7 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. The Meadows Malibu works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
