Why Avalon Malibu Is More Than Just an Insurance Option
At Avalon Malibu, we understand that navigating insurance coverage is just one piece of the puzzle when you're seeking treatment. What really matters is where you’re going and how you’ll heal. As a nationally recognized, luxury residential treatment center in Malibu, we offer a deeply personalized, evidence-based approach to recovery, all in a serene, oceanfront setting that supports long-term transformation.

Comprehensive, Integrated Care
Our programs are designed to treat the whole person, not just symptoms. Whether you need support for substance use, a primary mental health diagnosis, or co-occurring (“dual-diagnosis”) conditions, our clinical team will craft a customized treatment plan that blends psychiatric assessment, medication management, neuropsychological testing, and a wide array of therapeutic modalities.
Luxury Meets Clinical Excellence
Healing happens best when you feel safe, seen, and comfortable. At Avalon Malibu, you’ll stay in luxury private suites with ensuite bathrooms nestled in a tranquil oceanfront estate with direct beach access, lush gardens, and a high staff-to-client ratio.
Avalon Malibu is fully licensed and accredited, backed by 24/7 clinical care and on-site nursing making it uniquely equipped for both high-acuity psychiatric cases and complex addiction.
Holistic & Experiential Therapies for Lasting Change
We offer a broad range of therapies that go beyond talk therapy — because we know recovery is more than just thinking about things differently. Clients may engage in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, EMDR, art therapy, yoga, and more.
In addition, family and couples therapy helps rebuild trust, repair relationships, and support systemic healing — because addiction affects more than just one person.
Your Insurance Is Welcome Here
Avalon Malibu works with many PPO insurance plans, including out-of-network coverage. If you’re using Meritain Health (Aetna) Insurance or another policy, our admissions team can help verify your benefits, walk you through your coverage details, and coordinate next steps — all confidentially and with compassion.
From First Call to Long-Term Support
Our admissions process is designed to be seamless and supportive: once you reach out, our team conducts a confidential clinical assessment, verifies your insurance, and helps you understand what your stay will look like.
After residential treatment, we don’t just send you out the door — we help you build an aftercare plan, with relapse prevention, alumni support, and continued therapy to sustain recovery for the long haul.
