The Passages Philosophy
We believe each person who is dependent on alcohol or drugs is being driven by one of these four underlying conditions:
- A Chemical Imbalance
- Events of the past you have not reconciled
- Current conditions you can't cope with
- Things you believe that aren't true
The Passages program treats the underlying conditions that are causing you to use so you can maintain long-term sobriety.
Why Choose Passages
When Chris and Pax Prentiss opened Passages in 2001, they wanted to open the world’s best treatment center. The program they created is non-traditional in that it does not use the 12-Steps or rely heavily on group meetings. This was practically unheard of at the time, and it started a trend in addiction treatment that revolutionized the industry. After twenty four years, Pax still oversees the program and takes admissions calls. You will not find a more dedicated team of people to help you achieve long-term sobriety.
Please call Passages now and ask to speak with Pax or the admissions department.

The History of Passages Malibu and Our Founders
The History of Passages Malibu
and Our Founders
Passages Malibu was founded in 2001 by father and son, Chris and Pax Prentiss. Before Passages, Pax had a horrific ten-year addiction to heroin, cocaine and alcohol. Pax tried treatment centers that offered the 12-Steps and group meetings, but he would always relapse after treatment.
Desperate to save Pax’s life, Chris created a holistic program, something Pax had never had before, and it ended up saving his life. After Pax got sober, he and his father opened Passages. Now, you can experience the same holistic treatment that saved Pax’s life and has saved the lives of thousands of others who have attended Passages.
