Our Advantage and Philosophy

Exceptional Luxury Care Backed by Proven Treatment Methods

Avalon Malibu is an exclusive, state-licensed residential treatment center for mental health, addiction, and dual diagnosis. Located on a sprawling private oceanfront estate in Malibu, California, we offer a unique blend of luxury hospitality and clinically proven care — all designed to meet each client where they are on their journey to healing.

A Private Coastal Estate Designed for Healing in Luxury

More than a treatment center, Avalon Malibu is a sanctuary for self-discovery and lasting transformation. Our tranquil setting — with multiple acres of lush, private beachfront property, all-private rooms with ensuite bathrooms, ocean views, pool, jacuzzi, and serene gardens — provides the space, peace, and privacy needed for deep healing.

We are proud to be significantly more spacious than other facilities in the area, offering direct beach access via our private pathway and homes shielded from view for the utmost discretion.

Unmatched Care Rooted in Compassion, Expertise, and Personalization

We believe that there’s no short-term cure for long-term challenges — and our individualized, flexible programs reflect that truth. Whether you’re seeking help for substance abuse, a mood disorder, or a complex dual diagnosis, Avalon Malibu delivers expert care that’s both compassionate and research-driven.

Specialized Care for Complex and High-Acuity Cases

Avalon Malibu is equipped to treat high-acuity and treatment-resistant cases that many other centers cannot accommodate. With 24/7 clinical support, licensed psychiatric care, and advanced diagnostic tools, we provide safe, structured treatment for complex mental health and dual diagnosis conditions, even when previous programs have fallen short.

Avalon Malibu is licensed by the Department of Social Services (DSS), certified by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), and accredited by The Joint Commission (JCAHO).

All Addiction Rehab Centers Are Not Equal

Many facilities refer out the cases we take in. Avalon Malibu is uniquely qualified to treat serious psychiatric conditions and high-acuity dual diagnoses that other centers simply aren’t equipped to manage. From treatment-resistant depression and severe anxiety to co-occurring trauma, bipolar disorder, and addiction — we are where hope begins.

We meet the highest standards in clinical care, with full accreditation from the Joint Commission (JCAHO) — the gold standard in healthcare quality and safety.

Mental health and addiction often go hand-in-hand. Our integrated model ensures both are treated simultaneously, with a personalized continuum of care that supports lasting recovery.

Avalon Malibu offers a real chance at lasting recovery. You’ll build healthy relationships, life skills, and strategies to live free from drugs and alcohol.

Many of our experienced counselors are in recovery themselves, giving them unique insight to guide, support, and empower you every step of the way.
