Is Residential Treatment Right for Me or My Loved One?

Residential treatment, sometimes called inpatient treatment, is one of the most common types of recovery programs. This type of treatment is characterized by full-time, round-the-clock care: clients live at the facility where they receive treatment and engage in fully scheduled, highly structured days that include a variety of therapies and recovery-related activities. Our professional staff is available 24/7 to attend to emergencies, to monitor clients or to defuse emotionally charged situations.

With a state license and accreditation for providing treatment for primary mental health disorders, Avalon Malibu has the unique ability to offer individuals targeted mental health treatment in the comfort of a luxurious home-like environment. Residential treatment for individuals with a primary or dual diagnosis of a mental health disorder is one of the offerings that sets Avalon Malibu apart from other recovery centers.

Our residential program is open to adult men and women. We welcome those who are seeking recovery for the first time as well as those who have been through treatment but have experienced a relapse.

Residential treatment is recommended for individuals who:

  • Have been struggling with chemical dependency or mental health disorders for a long time
  • Have recently completed a detox program
  • Do not have a stable, sober or supportive living environment
  • Can commit fully to the treatment experience
  • Have not had success in outpatient treatment
  • Are seeking or in need of comprehensive, full-time care

How Long Does Residential Treatment Last?

Residential treatment programs are intended to be a temporary, intensive phase of treatment. Traditional residential facilities often follow fixed 30-, 60- or 90-day schedules, but these restrictive timelines can prevent clients from getting the individualized care they need to make a full recovery. Each person’s experience with chemical or emotional dependency is unique, so each therapy should progress at its own pace.

Avalon’s clinical and medical team work together with each client to ensure they are progressing through treatment at a pace that is comfortable and effective. When satisfied with a client’s progress, we recommend discharge options and provide a structured continuing aftercare plan.
