Avalon Malibu’s Mental Health & Substance Abuse Treatment Modalities
For 13 years, Avalon Malibu has helped over 1,700 individuals and families, guided by steady leadership for more than a decade.
Dr. Hillary Berens and her team are personally involved with every client, ensuring that the values we started with still define who we are today: truth, excellence, and individualized care.
Why Families Trust Us
At Avalon Malibu, families place their trust in us not only because of our clinical excellence, but because of our consistency. With the same leadership team guiding the program for over a decade, we offer what many treatment centers cannot: presence. You will never feel like a number here. From the moment a client arrives, our team works directly with them, not from a distance, not through layers of staff, but side by side.
Consistency, Safety, and Presence
- Over 77% of clients are referred by professionals & alumni
- 6:1 staff-to-client ratio (rare in residential treatment)
- CEO and Clinical Director personally involved with every client
- Family coaching and support starting on day 1
Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Methods We Offer Include:
Healing requires more than just stopping symptoms, it requires understanding why they exist. At Avalon Malibu, we use evidence-based, trauma-informed modalities paired with holistic therapies to support recovery of the mind, body, and nervous system. Our clinicians customize a treatment plan that integrates both clinical structure and experiential healing.
