Passages MalibuReviews of passagesmalibu.com

I had a serious addiction to Ambien and xanax for eight years. I found Passages on Google and was really interested in the holistic approach. I had never been to rehab so knew nothing about 12 step but I am glad that I went with Passages. The think I really liked Passages about is how they encourage you to stay in contact with your normal life. It allows you to deal with your normal day to day issues while you are with your therapists. There is no type of isolation fantasy land type of setup going on. Ppl criticize it for being nothing more than a vacation for rich ppl. It was hard work and very long days. It was not some type of TV reality show, they kicked out two ppl when I was there because they were not progressing and were causing distractions. They are a solid rehab that I am forever thankful for.

When I checked into Passages on 3/6/15 I was completely broken, hopeless, and full blown addicted to drugs and alcohol. The intake staff was very kind, friendly, and patient with me when I got there. I was able to feel a sense of calmness and relief because they made me feel comfortable and safe from the night I arrived to the next day when I actually checked in. The holistic, non 12 step approach, that Passages offers was a perfect fit for me because I wanted to be cured for a lifetime from the chains of addiction. I made the conscious decision from day one of my treatment at Passages to completely let go of all that I had believed to be true in my life up to that moment because after many attempts to get sober I had failed and was near death. I knew my way did NOT work and therefore I was willing to be open and accepting to their philosophy of how addiction can be cured when you answer you "why" question and finally address the underlying cause of why I was killing myself with drugs and alcohol. My experience at Passages was nothing short of life changing and I was able to answer my "why" question with the help of their amazing counselors and dedicated staff. Today, almost 2 1/2 years later, I am still sober and in the best physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional condition of my life and I would not be here without the spiritual awakening I had while at Passages. I'm a better father, son, brother, friend, community activist, and human being and I owe my new sober life to the dedicated team at Passages. I'm forever in debt to founders of Passages Chris and Pax Prentiss. Thank you!!!

Having viewed Passages dynamic social media page I was excited to learn more. After making a 5 minute call I was surprised at how easy it was thanks to an extremely accommodating intake staff. Attending Passages was the best decision I've ever made and recommend it to anyone suffering from depression, trauma, dependency, or any issue that has removed you from being your TRUE self.

at a World Class Program! Last year, I spent 5 weeks at Passages Malibu, working on a lifetime of mental health issues which led to substance abuse. I could not have chosen a better Program to help me wrestle with my demons. The facility and Staff are top notch; First Class all the way around! The program consisted of hours and hours of one-on-one counseling with my primary, family, spiritual and chemical dependency counselors. Passages also provided other programs to help with my Recovery. Some of my favorites were Tai-Chi. Music and Art Therapy, and Personal Training. Added to that were additional hours in Massage, Acupuncture and Hypnotherapy. I was so grateful for the self-care part of the program, and believe my Recovery progressed rapidly due having the time to relax after so many productive and intense counseling sessions. The Passages Way works on each aspect of your mind, body and soul. Today, I am much more involved in life than I was a year ago. While I still make mistakes and the occasional poor choice, I don't have to live a life where I believe I'm the mistake. For that and much more, I have Passages to thank. It really is a World Class Property. Which makes for an easier time to work on your "stuff". I highly recommend that you give them a call before you begin your journey of discovery to the healthier you. I'm thankful I did. And, they take Insurance; BONUS!

The therapists at Passages are very caring and tend to every client's needs. As a client at Passages, we were able to participate in fun activities that helped make recovery more enjoyable. The food is delicious and always fresh. I feel blessed to have spent my time at Passages in order to successfully heal my addictions.

I had an amazing experience at Passages Malibu. The staff was so welcoming and made feel like I was in the right place to get better. I am back with my family today thanks to the help that they gave me.

My youngest brother was struggling with drug and alcohol addiction and I felt helpless because I couldn't do anything for him. I referred him to Passages and what they did for him was absolutely amazing! The facility is stunning and the staff there are very passionate about what they do and really care about their patients! My brother is doing so much better. I highly recommend Passages Malibu to anyone struggling with addiction.

My experience with Passages was beyond any expectation. Yes, I was scared to call and ask for help. My family and friends were encouraging me for years to quit drinking but I didn't know where to begin or what I needed to do. I was lost. My career was in a rut. I couldn't save a dime. I was spending all my money on alcohol and pot. I became out of shape and undesirable. I wanted to get my life back and back get control. I wanted to make myself and my family proud of the man I was but alcohol and drugs stood in the way. I was trying to cope with so many underlying issues I wasn't even sure what they were or how to fix them. I went to Passages for 90 days and the results have been incredible. I'm happy, healthy, and live a life I can finally be proud of. I'm thankful for the people at Passages who really helped me overcome this nearly deadly battle. I encourage anyone out there who is reading this to please pick up the phone and call them! You won't regret it. Cade M.
