Going to Rise was the best decision of my life. Allison was a godsend to me at a dark point in my life and was able to get me into Rise's treatment program with short notice. The team there is unparalleled. I wish I could name everyone that were members of my treatment team at Rise, but a few shoutouts to Nam for driving my sad sack self to Rise, baking amazing bread, and being an amazing support from Day 1, Shari & Zach from nursing for the care, fun, pep talks, and compassion, Dr Mark for his wisdom and pragmatic approach that I really resonated with, and numerous others (the chefs are next-level good, Tessa, Luke, Saber, Destiny, Cesar, Cat, Michael, Terry, Adrian, etc). Outside of the fantastic staff, I'll add that the house is gorgeous, the groups are varied and enriching, there's a good balance between free time & groups, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, and they do a great job of ensuring that you have access to outside appointments - for example, I was able to go to Passover services while at Rise without having to go through a lot of hoops/bureaucracy. The amenities are fun and obviously appreciated, but the heart of this place is really why I would recommend it to a loved one or friend in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Rise team!!! read more

Me and my boyfriend spent 16 days at rise at mayberry and it was amazing. I had been places before and had some reservations about coming in. They are such a good community and felt like family. The staff are all so nice Kevin, nelson,shelby,josh,jeff,stormi,and jazz made my time there pass by and when discharge came I was wanting to stay the full 30. The group of clients that were there during my stay have become friends I hope I can rely on for support and stay friends with for the long run. If you are worried about detox, are dreading it and havent found success else where I would really reccomend you try here. read more

Rise in Malibu - my baby girl was allowed to come visit and loved the horses - Addiction Medicine Near Me - Malibu, California

A Life Forever Changed ~ Thank You There are moments in life when words fall short, but I'll try. The Rise at Malibu didn't just support me they saved me. In one of the darkest chapters of my life, they extended a hand that pulled me back into the light. Their compassion, expertise, and unwavering commitment were more than professional they were profoundly human. I owe my life to the care, patience, and strength they showed me. Every step of the way, they treated me not as a case, but as a person worth fighting for. That kind of impact doesn't fade it stays with you, reshaping how you see yourself and the world. I want to begin by saying that The Rise in Malibu is far more than just a treatment facility it's a sanctuary for healing, transformation, and rediscovery. After extensive research, I felt confident in my decision before I even arrived. Now, as I prepare to leave, I can say with absolute certainty: I made the right choice. I'm walking away with the reset I desperately needed, armed with tools, a solid plan, and a renewed sense of purpose. What drew me to The Rise in Malibu was their deep commitment to mental health and trauma recovery the very roots of my struggle. From the moment I made that first call, I wasn't just another intake. Ron spoke to me with warmth and clarity, painting a picture of the care I'd receive and the space I'd call home. He gave me hope when I was falling apart. Then Allison stepped in, answering every message, listening to my tears, and making sure I had everything I needed to get to Malibu. Angie welcomed me with open arms, her radiant smile and vibrant energy instantly making me feel safe and seen. She tailored my experience with such care that I always felt supported and comfortable. The program itself is exceptional comprehensive and deeply personal. From licensed psychotherapists and medical doctors to psychiatrists, nurses, holistic therapies, case management, personal training, and even a private chef, every detail is designed to nurture healing in body, mind, and spirit. To anyone considering The Rise in Malibu this place doesn't just treat addiction it treats the person behind it. They saved my life. I recommend them with every ounce of gratitude in my heart. ~ Luka read more

Rise has saved my life on numerous occasions! The staff alone is super amazing that they have become my family. I cannot speak highly of all the times I have been through Rise. The peaceful ocean setting , the warm pool, the delicious meals, the wonderful group therapies, the wonderful group outings, comfortable room accommodations (and very private!!) make the whole experience absolutely wonderful and such a blessing. Will forever be blessed by Rise and the wonderful people there that make it so special and fabulous. The staff, Including Christina , Angie, Gina , Dr Mark, Sharie, Paul W, John, Paige , Nam , Bryce, Beth, and many more have been more than wonderful to me during some of the most difficult times of my life. read more

I've been to a few treatment centers, but Rise is by far the most amazing place I've been. it's an extremely comfortable professional therapeutic rehabilitation center. Ron and Alison are amazing. I can't say enough good things about this place. The therapist. The group leaders are all extremely professional and amazing at what they do this place saved my life and I would recommend it to anybody. read more

Mayberry Farms...the ZEN of recovery This place is a magical mecca created by owners Ron and Jennifer. They are truely authentic, empathetic, and humble people. They demonstrated their love and care from the first phone call for admissions, through conversation on site, and till your final days. They bent over backwards to accomodate my arrival on same day notice and followed through with their promises made from that moment till the end of my stay. The vibe at Mayberry is shown through the dedication that is displayed from accomodations, staffing, classes, facilitators, management, and even the equestrian activities. This place sticks to its promise of love, compassion, and healing. The staff is well selected and relates 100% to all types of addictions, trauma, and mental health. The therapists are well educated and continually select topics and activities relative to engagement and solutions. The food here is beyond restaurant quality! Chef Cameron endlessly provided meals for all allergies, dietary needs, and daily requests for any pallette. He should be charging us:) Case manager Lauren diligently worked with me through some very trying times to assist with solutions and emotional needs. She is fantastic. Horse therapy was something I had never tried through out my previous 7 times at other facilities. It was worth the wait. There is something humbling and majestic about the peace they bring to you during what can be an extremely difficult time. I had been told by other people that I would not want to leave Rise Mayberry Farms...they had never been so right. 30 days went so fast and was so therapeutic for my path, that I found myself easily opting to stay longer for the sober living program they offered. Ron and Jennifer wholeheartedly believe that Mayberry programming should be about the root cause for those with addiction or trauma to heal, prosper, grow, and become the success they can be. Thank you Traci read more

My son recently attended the alcohol 30 day treatment program at Rise in Malibu and loved it. The staff was kind, caring and really understands alcoholism, since several are previous patients. His first care team member was the admissions coordinator who was knowledgeable about every aspect of the program such as insurance, applying for short term disability or unemployment, laws and care standards within the industry, or anything else you might need to know about applying here or sending your loved one. The next team member he encountered was the driver who picked him up at the airport. My son was not feeling well, and having a driver that understood what the new patients are going through was fabulous. What a great idea to have the driver relate to disease also. Once at the house, the entire care team was so nice to him. He really needed kindness and no judgement to help him succeed. The psychiatrist, counselors, faith counselor, nurse, cook and housekeepers were all so professional and really got to know all the patients. I visited my son and saw all this wonderful care, first hand. Since discharge, my son and I both have called for advice inclusive of long phone calls to help with "bumps in the road". He is now in a sober living program headed for success and sobriety. He has a wonderful life to look forward to now. Thanks so much to absolutely everyone at Rise in Malibu. read more

Terrible experience, though accommodations are nice and food is ok. I have several health issues (not all of them are alcohol related) and had to go to the Hospital for quite a few days.   I had stabilized my condition, and on the morning I was to be discharged with the Hospital Dr's approval, I was told I'd be going back to Rise.  However, mere minutes before being discharged, Rise reversed their decision and said I was too "complicated" for their care. Rise made this assessment by looking at a few test results and without even examining me in person.  In fact, I had never met or even talked to Dr Raskin before he made that decision. At this point, Rise went radio silent. No referrals or anything.  They dropped my bags off at my hospital. I tried reaching out but to no avail. So now it's the afternoon, and I have nowhere to go (a hotel would be a horrible decision).  I'm scrambling to find an alternate rehab, begging the hospital to let me stay another night. Once Rise realized they weren't going to get more money from me, they kicked me to the curb without even a "good luck."   Is this the kind of place you want to go and people you want to treat you? read more

Incredible staff and very comfortable/safe accomodations. I have never witnessed so much one on one care with PHD/Masters level clinicians. 3 per day!! I highly recommend this program to anyone suffering from Substance use and Mental Health Disorders. The trauma work they do is second to none! read more

I am a client of Rise in Malibu. (Meaning I completed their residential program.) The type of care is professional, personalized, and extremely well designed. Rise takes a holistic approach towards recovery. And besides fancy titles their staff bestows; their is a true, authentic, human being looking after your best interests whom has a heart beat. The entire staff is there because they want to be there. I felt their compassion. I felt they understood my needs. They made me feel worthy as a person despite my bankrupted heart and soul which was stripped from me by my D.O.C. My mind was teetering on insanity/ wet brain with hosts of trauma both physical and psychological. Their dual diagnosis program was another example for me choosing Rise in Malibu. Their grief and loss program helped me significantly. Rise developed a Nicotine Addiction Treatment Plan for me. Which I follow to this day. Their music program is led by a true music professional. Their spirituality program is led by 3 unique, highly talented individuals. Their yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and breath expert is beyond comparison. Their medical team is made up of experts once again. Every service I was sent to such as the Malibu Urgent Care for bloodwork, and X- Rays, to the dental group in Pacific Palisades down the road for all of my immediate dental needs, to the Orthopedic Surgeon Specialist where I received am MRI immediately and was consulted with, to their 4 " Celebrity Chef's whom designed custom nutritional cuisine for my dietary restrictions, to their well planned outings such as Beachwalk which included wet suits, surfboards, coolers with specialty H2O and healthy refreshments, the 2 gentlemen who are themselves surfers, as well as therapists/ counselors, to a Sound Vath Shaman, and the list continues. If you are asking why I have described Tise in this much authenticity and passion; it's because Rise in Malibu saved my life in more ways then one. In closing, I have chosen to continue my aftercare program with their PHP program which I am currently in, then to their IOP program, then to their OP program. The sober house where I currently live at, my "Home", is amazing. Not just the actual brick and mortar house, but the gentleman who runs it, is one of the most friendly, caring, amazing humans I have ever met. He takes care of everything and anything that I can not. If you are looking for real help, life and death type of help like myself;? There is only one thing to do. Just arrive at Rise. Let Rise take charge, and enjoy the Ride, at Rise. Amen read more

tl;dr - The family at Rise took me in as one of their own without question and renewed my faith in humanity. These are good humans, the best of humans. They don't care about the money, but about you and your healing. If there is any part of you that is open to getting sober and needs some help - go here. Call them. They'd love to have you. I came to Rise in desperate need of healing. I'd hit a wall and needed to escape my life. I needed to be taken care of but had little idea of how to ask for help; I just knew I needed it. I did hours of research and did intake calls with 6 other facilities, but from the moment I spoke to Lori in admissions, I knew that Rise was where I needed to be. What originally drew me to Rise was the luxury setting, the ocean view, and the holistic approach. I was seeking a place to be sober for 30 days, get some massages, some exercise, and delicious food - a grown up summer camp. I figured I just needed to get myself in a healthy routine. What I learned and received at Rise was more than I could have ever dreamed or imagined asking for. I received acceptance, love, kindness and compassion from every single staff member. Every. Single. One. I was welcomed with open arms into the safest space I've ever been in. Nearly every staff member is in recovery and through them sharing their stories with open hearts, I was able to let down walls I didn't even realize I'd been building. My team of warrior goddesses - Dr. Meg, Kimmi, Emily, Cat and Angelica - showed me how to feel my feelings. They gave me the tools I needed to start excavating and digging into what was really driving me to use. They taught me how to breathe, how to feel, how to let the world in without it consuming and overwhelming me. They helped me to clear the muck from my eyes and taught me how to listen and to accept - their love and light so powerful that once I was open to it, healing became inevitable. Will helped me to connect the dots, all the dots from childhood to the call that brought me to treatment and held my hand while planning for the future, working with me to make a plan that would support all the teachings and lessons I'd learned. The nursing staff - Christine, Alex, Josh, Jose - all made sure I was physically safe and made me feel so cared for every single moment. Dr. Benjamin helped me get off unnecessary medication I'd be using to escape my feelings. Chef Ronnie and Chef Michael taught me how to nourish my body instead of mindlessly feeding it. Canaan helped me rediscover my physical strength and push through my mental walls. James and Brianna literally reprogrammed my body and brain with life-changing EMDR. Ako showed me that I can create beauty even when I am wholly filled with doubt. John and Tim taught me how to forgive myself and gave me space to reconnect to The One, The Goddess, The Universe. And last but most certainly not least, those that keep the house and fill it with light and love, always of service, always there to help - Billy, Nam, Jeff, Luke, Tachi, Pete, Matt and Mimi - ya'll are the lifeblood of the magical house that is Rise. You fill it with laughter and make it a home. I know this is a long post, but it had to be. The family at Rise took me in as one of their own without question and renewed my faith in humanity. These are good humans, the best of humans. They don't care about the money, but about you and your healing. If there is any part of you that is open to getting sober and needs some help - go here. Call them. They'd love to have you. read more

I have the most amazing Care ever at Rise In Malibu. I have been to several treatment centers and was unable to keep myself sober. The love and attention that I got from the entire staff was phenomenal. Patrick Mitchell, a recovered addict himself knows exactly what he's doing in helping those in desperate need of sobriety. The accommodations were fantastic. They were clean and I was well taken care of. PS I am sober. read more

I recently had the privilege of receiving treatment at Rise in Malibu, and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and compassion by the staff, who made me feel welcomed and supported throughout my journey towards recovery. The program at Rise is truly exceptional, offering a comprehensive range of evidence-based therapies, counseling sessions, and educational workshops that helped me gain a deeper understanding of my addiction and develop healthy coping mechanisms. The treatment plans were tailored to meet my individual needs, ensuring that I received personalized care every step of the way. What truly sets Rise apart is the dedication and expertise of the staff. The counselors, therapists, and medical professionals went above and beyond to provide me with the guidance and support I needed to overcome my struggles. Their unwavering commitment to my recovery journey was truly inspiring and gave me the strength to face my challenges head-on. Additionally, the facilities at Rise are top-notch, creating a peaceful and serene environment that fostered healing and growth. The amenities, comfortable accommodations, and recreational activities offered a much-needed respite from the demands of treatment, allowing me to relax and focus on my recovery. I am grateful beyond words for the transformative experience I had at Rise. Thanks to their unwavering support, guidance, and expertise, I have emerged stronger, healthier, and equipped with the tools I need to lead a fulfilling life in sobriety. I highly recommend Rise to anyone seeking a compassionate, effective, and life-changing addiction treatment program. I will end with this, at the end of the day.. Recovery is not for people who want it. It's not for people who need it. It's for people who DO it. It takes work and commitment. You have to be all in. Only then will the blessings come ! Dr R.....thank you for teaching me to be "Humany" (: . Miss E... I will forever be grateful to you! There are too many to thank!! D..in Denver read more

RISE saved my life. I had hit my bottom a few months ago and was barely hanging on to my life. I was desperate for help but just didn't even know where to start. I luckily had some amazing friends do A LOT of research and came up with their #1 find, RISE Malibu. If you're reading this- then you, or a person you care about, is in need of help. I can't stress enough how hard it is to make that first step and just how proud you should be for taking it. Choosing a place to uproot your life and put your well-being into someone else's hands is a HUGE deal. Thank goodness you have clicked on this incredible place. You are in the hands of caring professionals that will make your well-being their top priority. One of the most important things to me was a dual-treatment program. I have suffered from anxiety, depression and Bipolar Disorder. These conditions along with years of alcohol and drug abuse ALL needed to be addressed and treated. I was carefully detoxed by their medical team and received constant care for the appropriate medications. I had a team of therapists to help me learn about my mental illnesses and how to cope with them. You will have your own case manager to give you 1-on-1 coaching and counseling. We also have group sessions throughout the day to learn about substance abuse, mental illnesses, coping techniques, life coaching, etc. These were extremely helpful. The fellowship is what truly connects us as humans and I learned SO MUCH from my housemates. We also had holistic and healing sessions- Along with really fun activities on the weekend (beach, movies, etc.). The property itself is just beyond gorgeous. The photos on the website don't do it justice. Our meals were prepared with care and the home is warm and comfortable to live in. I can't rave enough about the quality of the staff. They are professional and personable. I consider every single person that works at RISE as family. I go back to visit often (As a GUEST of course :) Good luck with your journey to recovery. PLEASE reach out to RISE to start living a new, healthier life! read more

I landed at Rise in Malibu after alarming and disappointing intake experiences at two other treatment facilities in California. If you're reading these reviews, it's possible that you're experiencing uncertainty and skepticism about the claimed quality of the many "luxury" treatment facilities in the Malibu and Southern CA region. I certainly found myself frantically trying to sort through the bullshit, while also balancing financial considerations and treatment needs. My alcoholism is driven by traumatic experiences, both current and prior. Therefore, I was in need of a recovery center that could address both my substance dependency AND the underlying drivers of my unhealthy behavior. Rise in Malibu far exceeded my expectations of what a dual-diagnosis facility could offer. I think that they're arguably the exemplar program for dual-diagnosis treatment, offering 1:1 psychotherapy treatments 4x a week in addition to group sessions and holistic treatments. I greatly benefited from EMDR sessions with April and will continue to pursue this therapeutic approach at home. April is a brilliant practitioner that guided me through major breakthroughs in PTSD therapy within a short amount of time. Dr. Mark is a kind, responsive, and talented clinical director. The staff and case managers at Rise allowed me to feel safe, cared for, challenged, and loved. This place became my home, an important haven for me during a deeply painful period in my life. I feel forever indebted to Ron for taking an hour to chat with me over a weekend when I was frantically calling treatment centers, and for getting me to Rise when I landed at a place in Malibu that was an awful fit. Rise in Malibu is well worth of the out-of-pocket investment I made in addition to my insurance coverage. The robust treatment program gave me the tools and support I need to do the hard work of mitigating the suffering that addiction caused in my life and the lives of those I love. read more

one of the clients was harassing me and the staff was woefully unprepared to handle it and just suggested I miss the group sessions with the person. read more

Rise in Malibu is by far a leading industry treatment center in both the level of treatment provided as well as the most caring staff around! I've been to many other treatment facilities across the country and they don't even compare. The small client to staff ratio at Rise offers an array of individual therapy sessions and very small groups led by extremely knowledgeable and qualified therapists. Every staff member I interacted with at Rise, from the first admissions call to being dropped off at the airport, truly cared about me. I was afraid when researching and talking with admissions that this place was "too good to be true". Thankfully Rise provided everything they said they would and my experience exceeded any expectations I had. I would definitely recommend Rise to any family member or friend who is looking for help in overcoming substance abuse. read more

I can't speak to results through experience at this facility, however after seeing so many 1 star reviews on other facilities based on customer service, I have to give 5 stars for theirs. I called with an inquiry regarding if my insurance was accepted here, and while the service rep Berkeley told me they didn't accept my insurance, he committed to looking for facilities that did. I did further research on my own, and about 30 minutes later he called me back with options I could pursue who would accepted my insurance. A more genuine display of commitment to helping I could not imagine. Thank you Berkeley. read more

If you're searching and researching treatment centers and you've come across Rise you are beyond lucky. Please don't go anywhere else. Go or send your loved one to Rise. PLEASE read about our experience here. We took the long road of trying to save our daughter and came very close to losing her. We would have if we didn't find Rise. I am a mom in her 50's. My once young, smart and beautiful daughter had become addicted to opiates. I had been working with therapists to prepare myself for her death. She had destroyed everything in her life and was in what I call a death spiral. We had tried other treatment centers with high hopes, some legitimate, some not, some high profile such as Betty Ford and another featured on Dr. Phil. None worked. My daughter found Rise in one of her rare lucent moments searching for a premium treatment center that had the most one-on-one appointments each week with a therapist. One thing we had learned was that she could not overcome a deep rooted addiction with one 45 minute appointment per week. She found Rise. 3 one-on-one appointments with a Doctor level therapist per week. In addition to private meetings with Addiction Therapists, a Case Manager and others. This is when our lives changed. First difference, I was speaking directly to the 2 owners and the amazing John the Admittance Counselor. Even when she wasn't ready to go, Ron the owner would text and call me, checking on me and asking about my daughter. Finally an opportunity opened where we knew where she was, I called Ron and in a combination of an intervention and a CIA/Mission Impossible mission they orchestrated, Pat the owner picked her up. They were going into a dangerous situation. They volunteered. As evidence of Pat's character he said he couldn't send his staff into such a dangerous situation, he would go. So he immediately jumped in his car, drove over an hour and spent several hours dealing with a situation that involved police, criminals... and was able to drive her to Rise. Now let me explain she didn't want to go. Pat even gave the cash out of his pocket to the derelict she was with to send him away so he could save my daughter. Driving to the treatment center my daughter continued to try to jump out of the car. All the while Pat was patient, kind and promising she would get the help she do desperately needs. Now weeks into treatment there she tells me "mom I've never seen a place like this. I've never met people like this. They all care. The Dr. is like none of the others. Even the other guests are different. They're more committed to their recovery and have taken me under their wings". Now she is sober and alive. She's still at the treatment center and I hear from the owners and staff checking on things and keeping me in the loop. Really looking out for her. Even John the Admittance Counselor (who's focus could have moved on) calls- even on weekends & evenings!- and jumps in to help make sure she stays on track and is making the right decisions to stays on track. I hear from him several times a week. The most caring group of people I've ever come across. What is their secret sauce? How are they able to have so many top level, caring professionals in one place? I don't know. But it is magic. Everyone raves about the night and day transformation with my daughter. So if you're looking for professionals to take the reigns of this devastation you're dealing with. Who care more than your own family members. Who will do more to save your loved one than ANYONE you've ever met. A treatment center you can trust, exhale and let them do their "magic", call Ron. I thank God for the day I met him. And I'm not religious. read more

I look back at my experience at Rise in February 2019 and have come to realize that it truly changed and saved my life. I have six months in sobriety currently with a bright outlook and I am grateful to Rise and the Staff. Rise Staff treats its clients with dignity and compassion, and to be honest, are fun to be around. The daily activates are rigorously designed to address the root cause of clients' addiction and to develop a plan for long term sobriety after leaving Rise, which from a personal perspective has been a difference maker. The daily meals, location and accommodations are the best, and for those interested in physical exercise, Rise has a gym membership to a local club which I found to be a key piece of my recovery. For those who choose to participate in AA, NA or spiritual therapy, Rise is very accommodative but does not push any sort of agenda. If you are in need of treatment I cannot imagine a more serene, effective and comfortable experience to begin your journey in long term sobriety. William W. read more

Coming to rise was a life changing experience. This was my first time at an inpatient program and it couldn't have gone better. Dr. Mark, the staff onsite (Sherri, Kimmy, Kendall, tatchi (David/Dave), Jeff, Billy, Shane, and Andrea), and even the chef (Alma) created an incredibly comforting environment and you can tell they personally care about your recovery. I left rise with not only a new outlook on my life and ability to overcome my addiction but also with great memories with the staff and other clients. The beautiful house in Malibu overlooking the pacific wasn't half bad either :) read more

I've been to a few different rehabs I was skeptical at first because most Rehabs just want your money most of the time once they get you in the door then you come to realize what they told you or advertised is completely different but that wasn't the case for Rise everything was 100% what they said it would be on the phone/advertised the food and staff were great the treatment was more then what I expected I'm very satisfied it was the best move I've made I flew out from New York they picked me up not many places offer your own room and you can have your phone to stay in contact with your family I highly recommend this Rehab to anyone I didn't think I'd be able to quit using but long behold I've been sober I've learned so much about myself and new ways to deal with addiction while being at Rise read more

It's now almost three months since I left Rise and I'm 115 days sober after drinking all of my adult life. To say that I couldn't have got this far without the help I received at Rise would be a huge understatement. After looking at other facilities, my wife and I met with John, did a tour of Rise and knew, within ten minutes, that this was a special place where I could begin my road to recovery. From the excellent one to one therapy to the revelatory group sessions; from the amazingly empathetic and supportive tech staff who always went beyond the call of duty to the delicious food; from the welcoming and very comfortable bedrooms to the off-site trips every aspect of my time at Rise was nothing but excellent. Every member of staff at Rise was extremely attentive from which I really felt an incredible personal touch and level of understanding and support, that has continued since I left. The level of empathy, professionalism, good humor and insightful and varied sessions and duty of care was exceptional. Staying at Rise was like staying with a family who really cared for me and helped me beyond all of my expectations. In addition to the amazing care and rehabilitation I received I also made some friends for life. I went into a Rise a mess but came out ready and equipped to lead a life of sobriety and honesty. If any friends or family ever needed help, I would thoroughly recommend Rise. My time at Rise was undoubtedly the most important thirty days of my life and I will be forever grateful for the care, rehabilitation and the rock-solid foundation for recovery that everyone at Rise worked so hard to give to me. If you need personalized help with a long-lasting impact this is the facility to go to. SL Los Angeles October 2019 read more

I have been to other high end treatment centers and they simply do not compare to Rise in Malibu. While the grounds, house, rooms, food and amenities are fantastic, this is not a "spa". The program is very rigorous and individual therapy sessions and groups are intensive. I was exhausted at week's end - in a good way. Others claim to get at the root causes of your addiction, but Rise actually "walks the walk". Through my work/time with the professionals at Rise, I feel as though I have finally broken through and truly understand the root causes of my addiction. From the Lead Therapist/Clinical Director, Owner and Staff, the team at Rise is exceptional. If you are considering a high end, rigorous program for you or a loved one, I would highly recommend Rise in Malibu. read more

I highly recommend Rise as a santuary to help you get your head on straight. Although i needed treatment for my addition, Rise offered me far more. It provided me with a personal and spirtual growth plan that will help me live with sobriety but also live a happier and more fulfilled lifestyle. I highly recommend Rise as both an addition and also a mental wellness retreat. The therapists and the staff and excellent and truely care about each individuals success. read more

I truly believe that GOD placed this beautiful facility on the side of that Malibu mountain overlooking the ocean Himself. I was very pleased with ever aspect of RISE. The staff was personally hand picked and works like a well oiled machine. The clinical team, the medical team, the maintenance team, all the therapist, all the techs ,intake , the chef, the yoga team, the art team, the massage team, all the way to the owners has made a life changing impact on my life for that I will be forever grateful. I can honestly say that I have an extended family with the RISE IN MALIBU FAMILY Thank God for Rise Ryan J read more

I had the pleasure of staying at Rise for over 8 months. Because of this privilege I've had the greatest support system since leaving inpatient. The case manager I was assigned was incredibly helpful, and with her encouragement I enrolled back in school and will be finishing up at UCLA shortly. I found loving friendships here. I gained the tools I needed to manage my life.. while being happy.. Rise will always be family to me. I would be happy to detail my positive experiences with this program, and how it's impacted my life with anyone seeking help. read more

I had a life changing experience at Rise. The therapists and staff are intelligent and full of love. Individual care is a must as everyone has there own story and Rise had a lot of one on one therapy and always had someone available to talk 24hrs a day if needed. I would highly recommend Rise for any loved one who needs time to figure out why life just isn't working out for them. read more

After falling multiple times from prior treatment experiences, Rise was here to help pick me back up. From the initial phone call with the admissions department up until the time I walked through the front door, someone from Rise was there holding my hand the entire way. Once admitted I went through the detox process, which staff was very attentive to ensure my safety and comfort. I realized after detox how broken and beat up I really was, alcohol had taken me to a level of self-hate I had not experienced before, and felt like I was already dead. I didn't love myself, wasn't caring for myself, and wasn't even able to get myself to eat but through the course of my 30 days what I found is that when I wasn't able to love myself, the staff at Rise was here to love me and teach me how to love myself. I learned how to self-nurture and attend to self-care with a well balanced diet, exercise routine, mindfulness skills. The facility has excellent staff to client ratio, with many one on one sessions as well as a cohesive intimate peer group. The setting and environment allowed for me to feel safe enough to make myself vulnerable and begin to heal. It is hard for me to put into words my experience at Rise, but I don't think I would have been able to heal anywhere else but here. I am leaving Rise filled with faith, hope and love, with a solid aftercare plan and variety of tools that will help foster my goal of long-term recovery. read more
