Seasons In Malibu
You finally have decided to take action to change your life. If its addiction issues - you recognize the disease has overtaken your entire existence, and either is, or is beginning to, destroy many of the things that you hold most dear. We understand how you feel and how difficult it is for you to be here right now.
Our Philosophy
At Seasons In Malibu we agree with the leading scientists and doctors of the National Institute for Drug Addiction that addiction is a completely treatable chronic disease. We believe it is best addressed not just at the individual level of behavior but systemically from the cellular systems to the systems of neurobiology of the brain and the individual, to the family systems and social networks, and to the larger societal systems at work.
Facilities
Seasons In Malibu rests on the bluff overlooking Matador Beach in Malibu, California, just north of Los Angeles. On over 3 acres and with several residences, this Malibu rehab center is completely unique among rehabs in California for its beauty, space, and layout. Sometimes the work of drug, dangerous prescription drugs and alcohol addiction treatment can be very intense, and the campus gives clients and their families the opportunity to do the work with as little extra stress as possible.Some drug rehab treatment centers make you think their addiction treatment facilities are close to the water when this isn't really the case.
Mental Health
The Beach Cottage at Seasons in Malibu is a stand-alone facility that offers life-changing treatment for individuals suffering with mental health disorders. Licensed by the State of California and accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, the Beach Cottage offers doctorate level, one-on-one therapy in an intimate, luxurious, residential setting, steps away from a private beach.
What To Expect
At Seasons In Malibu, the healing process begins at the moment you arrive at our luxury drug rehab in Malibu. Patients immediately undergo a medical assessment to determine the detox treatment method appropriate for him or her. We at Seasons believe in the principle of "individualized treatment, " so the first thing we do is establish the right medication and therapy for each patient through an assessment process.

Seasons is truly a one-of-a-kind place. I arrived a shell of myself, full of self hatred and despair. Everybody at Seasons greeted me with kindness, respect, and love. Through the highest quality therapy, introductions to different modalities, and compassion, Seasons gave me a new, authentic life. I will forever be grateful for my time at Seasons.

I'm on day 100 of my Recovery from Cocaine Addiction and have a long way to go. I was wrong about Seasons in Malibu almost didn't go there, but I Did. and graduated. YOU WILL HAVE BAD DAYS THERE. I wanted to leave but my awesome Case Manager Helena Brown really cared and Dr. Ruben got me through some hard spots and Super Stoked I Stuck it out. Be True to your Values don't put up with shit but do the work and at some point between Hypnotherapy with Barbara Carey/Somatic Therapy with Lynda McCloskky and CranialSacral with the yoga lady Lisa Carmichael I had an Awakening that made me Fierce!
I was no longer afraid of falling and found the path to Sophrosyne. a healthy state of mind characterized by self control, moderation and a deep awareness of one's true self resulting in Happiness. Aloha All. Seasons in Malibu is great if your heart is open to change. The cure is in the Pain.

I cannot say enough good things about the care I received at Seasons. When I first arrived, I was scared and had no idea what to expect. I was treated with such care and kindness from the time I arrived that I felt comforted, and was sure I had come to the right place. The place is beautiful, but the real treasure is the staff. They are all simply amazing. They clearly have a ton of knowledge and experience in treating addiction and it shows, but they are also very empathetic.
I could tell they knew what I was going through, and I soon felt reassured that I was going to be OK. I came to Seasons to get sober. I had no clue that I'd be given the keys to a whole new outlook on life. I was shown a way of living that I never knew existed, and for that I am truly grateful.

Every single person is warm, so helpful, so genuine, so accommodating, and completely without judgement. And the team of therapists-my goodness. Absolute professionals and so kind, so skilled. They have assembled a dynamite team of caring and talented people. They treat people as individuals with a holistic approach. They focus on much more than the surface level addition or mental health diagnosis you present with. This is so important for lasting recovery. Bonus- the environment is beautiful and the food is fantastic. Highly recommended!

I'll start by saying that this is one of the most legit rehabs within California. The connection they make between mental health and addiction is a crucial part to why my time there was worth every bit of it. Their operations to dive into these two fields is pretty much a best bet scenario of getting to the root of peoples suffering in my opinion. Large note: Dr. Ben(psychologist) is to date the most proficient and understanding psychologist I've run into in my life.
His way of communication along with the wisdom/information he holds is extraordinary(which I don't state lightly). If you choose to go here give him a shot. He's the main reason I'm doing well in my life today.

I'm writing this review from my cousins Google, my name is Chris and I recently stayed at Seasons in Malibu. From the first contact they were extremely kind and polite, naturally this was a sensitive time for me but they made the process very easy. Once I checked in everything went smoothly. The staff was nice, facility was very clean, food was amazing and the staff was top notch! With all that said I was there for one reason only and I'm glad to say I'm still sober which says a lot about them as well. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who asks.

I was a patient at Seasons for 30 days and it completely changed my life. 4 years ago I found my son dead. I had seen local counselors, therapists, grief specialists, and psychiatrists. I was wallowing, just getting by. I supplemented my prescription depression meds with alcohol. The multi faceted approach Seasons employed helped me make a complete 360' turn about. The staff is exceptional. The psychological techniques. that I'd never been exposed to, were phenomenal. It was tough work, digging down to my core. I'm a much stronger person and actual member of society now. I've been gifted a second life! Thank you Seasons!

I found Season to be the perfect solution and environment to treat my alcohol addiction. I spent a combined 90 days in the program, and it was a game-changer. Like any facility, it's not perfect, but the overall experience helped me accomplish my sobriety and restoring my mental balance. They will work with you on a customized program, and you have the time and freedom to have your own space.
I loved many of the staff as they became good supporters and were respectful. One of the best aspects was getting to know the other people in the program that helped take the edge off. It was a positive life-changer at the end of the day. It is well worth the investment in your life.

Fantastic treatment center with a high end staff and top notch program. A close friend of mine fell into addiction and my friends and I had no idea what to do. We called in to Seasons Malibu and were quickly connected with the admissions team. Kathryn answered the phone and explained that she was the admissions coordinator - she walked us through every step of the process and answered every question (we had a lot of them) that we asked.
She promptly connected us with an interventionist who helped us get our friend to finally get help. We connected back with the admissions team and were introduced to Marit who was incredibly knowledgeable about the addiction / mental health arena and helped explain to our friend that he was going to be in good hands. Once again we asked a million questions and each of them were answered, Kathryn walked us through the insurance battle and we were able to successfully get our friend some help. Not Cheap! But he has now been sober for over 6 months and seems to have a new way of living.

This place is horrible. Horrible. I made a call to get help. Obviously these reviews r fake. They said they were very empty n I could have any room? After I gave him my insurance information he said the rudest thing. He said, we don't accept Medicare? What? I don't have Medicare u fool! I have ppo insurance. Nice way to treat someone who needs help. I didn't even realize how bad our healthcare system is until now. This place is so disgusting.

10 out off 10! Seasons at Malibu is an outstanding addictions recovery facility. A comprehensive recovery model that includes intense one on one counselling, meditation, hypnotherapy, spirituality, message, and family support, the Seasons program leaves no stone unturned. From the moment we called admissions to enquire about their approach to addiction recovery, to the comprehensive after care support program, our family has been treated with respect, understanding and have been given a clear understanding of Seasons well thought out objectives.
My brave son entered the program in early February and his own hard work combined with the solid dedication of all the staff, has resulted in his solid recovery. Seasons approach is positive, does not play the shame game. The physical facility is first class, food is outstanding and healthy and all staff create an atmosphere that is warm and supportive. Only suggestion is an in house gym.

If you need to get sober, and want luxurious surroundings, this is the best place to be, hands down. I'd been struggling for many years to kick my multiple addictions in 10 different rehabs. 12 step nazi programs as well as more integrative modes. They never were able to get at the roots of my disease and help me achieve lasting sobriety until I came to Seasons, where I met the most awesome therapists in the world. Dr Nancy Irwin and Audrey Hope teamed up to work with me and the most amazing miracle happened.
I finally surrendered to this day, years later, I still have no desire to drink or do drugs, a real miracle for me and my family. This is such a nice place with great food and a feeling of love permeates the comforting, compassionate atmosphere. Come for the luxury and stay for the superb treatment.

I was a client here in 2014. I spent the recommended full 3 months and followed it up immediately by going into a recommended sober living facility. First off it's a business, so yes they have an executive team that focuses on getting paid and making a profit. It's not cheap to run these places and they aren't in business to lose money or break even. That being said, the staff that engages with clients is phenomenal.
They are all there bc they want to help people get better and if a client shows desire and willingness they will go above and beyond to help that client. I was a nightmare at first. I was forced into rehab and didn't think I even needed to be there, of course. No matter how mean or rude I was they never turned their back on me. They were patient through my tantrums and caring when my anger gave into fear and desperation.
They saved my life. No doubt. I highly recommend Seasons. It was, for me, a once in a lifetime opportunity to work on myself with some of the best doctors in the field. Open mind, open heart and a new beginning is what i was given for my time spent here. I could cry just thinking about it! Good cry. grateful.

This was my first experience finding a rehabilitation site for my son. After reading many reviews, I felt confident that Seasons was the best choice for our family. My son completed 28 days at Seasons Agoura, and I can already see a big difference in his outlook on his future. I attended a family therapy session with him, and being a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I was hoping that she would be experienced and qualified in her area of specialty.
I was not disappointed. I learned so much from just one session. Everyone who works at Seasons is committed and knowledgeable, and the multi-disciplinary approach towards treatment is state-of-the-art. I am beyond thrilled that I took this major first step in helping my son. And I thank each and every person that has helped move him one step closer to a bigger and better future.

I recently completed treatment at Seasons and it was an amazing experience. I have attended several other inpatient facilities and Seasons is by far the most comprehensive and caring place I have ever been. The staff are not only very knowledgeable on substance abuse disorders, but also dig deeper into the causes and core issues that may cause relapse or use. I have gained many new tools to help combat my addiction when I return to my daily life. I have also received thoughtful recommendations on continuing care which I plan on implementing. Overall a positive and helpful experience which will truly help me in my recovery.

When I reached out to Seasons in Malibu, I was pleasantly surprised about the level of concern and care for my loved one. They were patient in hearing my story and why we needed the time to make sure we found the right placement. There was nothing pushy about their tactics and frankly, it was me that kept calling back to ask more questions. By the third or fourth call over the course of a month, the admissions team was familiar and more than accommodating. Finally, when my loved one checked in, we all felt very nervous and read way too many horror stories online.
Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted, felt comforted in connecting with the Doctor's almost right away and was given the personal phone number of his case manager to be contacted at any time. His room was beautiful, the grounds and the views were breathtaking. Honestly, I thought rehabs were supposed to be stale and serious environments. The other clients were jovial, kind and clearly felt well taken care of at Seasons. I can't say enough about how they treated me and my family. Although my loved one still has work to do, I know for a fact that Seasons gave him the best chance to be successful in recovery.

Where luxury meets rehabilitation is my motto for this place. Its incredibly difficult to get clean if you dont change your overall habits and lifestyle. It wasnt easy for me before and it wont be easy for me tomorrow but with the right groups and habit formations i finally feel as if I can keep and stay clean after my experience with seasons malibu. Dr. Shilatii was an absolute godsend and really kickstarted my sobriety during my addiction treatment.

This place is absolutely what it says it is. I had a very close friend of mine need to check into rehab and I was part of a group of us that decided to help him in his search to find a place that frankly saved his life. We had no idea what we were doing. We had never tried anything like this before and every place just tells you what you want to hear. We decided to go with our friend and visit at least five different places.
Each was very different and had a bunch of different amenities, views, etc.but it wasn't until we met with the clinical director and the COO that we felt different about Seasons. They were the only ones that actually seemed to care about taking the time to explain everything to us. Not only did they spend over an hour and a half with my friend, but there was absolutely no high pressure sales tactics.
Two weeks later, my friend checked in. Since then, he has been doing amazing. I am so proud of him and so impressed with the way Seasons handled everything. I highly recommend this place and feel free to go visit: you will not be disappointed.

The facilities are beautiful and the views incredible. The staff truly cares about the patients there. The acupuncture was interesting as I never had it before but it was a positive experience. The massages were out of this world. I forget her name but she is top notch. Breakfast is on your own but plenty is supplied for the making. The off-site activities such as stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking were just what I needed after days of intense therapy. The food is good especially if you like it a little on the fancy side.

I cannot say enough good things about how Seasons. They changed the life of my cousin who has struggled with addiction for years. She and our family were treated with respect and honesty throughout her entire stay. Dr. Shilati and her team were there for us when we had questions about anything and everything during the process. Rehab is the furthest thing from easy (or cheap) but Seasons helped guide us all through the ups and downs, all while focusing on getting to the root of the addiction issues with my cousin. We are grateful to the entire team at Seasons for helping to save her life and for helping our family as a whole.

If you want a beautiful setting, yoga, acupuncture, massages, personal chef, hiking.this is the place for you if you don't mind spending thousands of dollars a week. If you really need help. I mean truly need help to recover from drugs or alcohol I would suggest a more tough love place and save the cash. I do believe most there were really trying to help but I also know that there were a couple people that took advantage of my loved one.
