I have been putting off writing this review because I have so many positive things to say that I figured it would take three hours to write and have been waiting for the right time :). So, I’m going to try to keep this as concise as possible and decided to leave out specific names so I wouldn’t accidentally leave anyone out.
Malibu Hills is the absolute BEST. I came in so down on myself and left feeling so hopeful about the future. I stayed a little over three months; well, my cat and I stayed for a little over three months. She would write a 5-star review if she could because she had so many birds to watch through our huge windows overlooking the mountains.
The treatment team is incredible. They dive deep and help clients address the issues that led to mental health and addiction issues. Some of the healing modalities include: individual therapy, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, equine therapy, reiki, yoga, art therapy, nutrition, etc. I consider myself to be a bit difficult; some of my issues run very deep, and I run away when feeling threatened. However, I learned various techniques to help me work through panic attacks and sit with them. I’m still a work in progress, but it is getting so much better. The treatment team is very validating and it felt like they had my back.
The administrative staff, including the director, facilities coordinator, scheduling coordinator, and aftercare coordinator work so hard behind the scenes, and I was able to see how much effort they put into fulfilling each client’s needs. MH truly tailors the program to the individual.
The R.As, staff who take clients on outings and to groups, are all so special in their own ways. They were easy to talk to and were relatable. The nursing staff, too, were caring and compassionate, and I enjoyed getting to know them.
Malibu Hills feels like a family atmosphere. I spent two holidays with them, New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day, and expected them to be challenging, but the staff made sure we felt special and loved.
The chef, also relatable and easy to talk to, made sure we were eating healthy and balanced meals. Whenever one of us made a meal request, he would typically prepare it that same day! Housekeeping staff was also incredible; I enjoyed talking with and getting to know the two lovely ladies who worked so hard on our rooms.
I am so very grateful for my time at Malibu Hills. Not only have I learned tools to help me move forward, I have made many unexpected friends. Please do yourself a favor; stop looking at other places and give Catherine a call. You will be very happy you did. :)

An amazing place to recover . I went there a few years ago for opioid addiction. They are a loving, caring group who taught me so much. I was theee for a month and got such great care , hypnotherapy, group therapy, massage, music therapy, Art therapy etc. If I had gone to a 1 week treatment center I would have still been addicted. To this date, I have never touched a drug again. My head is so clear . Thank you Malibu Hills❤️

I was in Malibu treatment center
I’m now home in the state of Arizona
And my life has done a complete 360
I was able to start a nonprofit of my very own
Called handofkindness.org
I’m doing better in life than I ever imagined
And finally in a position in life to be able to give back!
The staff and doctors at Malibu opened my eyes and taught me so much
So thankful that I made the decision to go to Malibu Hills

Supposedly everyone has a masters degree there but the chef hector rarely cooks nutritious meals which are essential in recovery and overall your well being mentally and physically, most of the time they are lazily thrown together like this one where he gave us lunch meat and cheese slapped on a plate and we were told to make sandwiches ourselves i mean even a good sandwich has more than meat and cheese and then you have to get criticized by nutritionist when you have no control over what you eat expect on weekends but even then you only get 2 meals on weekends and the nutritionists wants you eating healthy snacks in between when there is barley any snacks and they are all comfort food, food is a huge part in how your body handles stress and other things and take part in your energy levels and how your body feels
