Overcoming Marijuana Addiction: Effective Treatment and Support

Published June 2024

At Passages Malibu, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the addiction. Our holistic, non-12-step approach addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects, providing a comprehensive path to lasting rehabilitation.

Comprehensive Assessment

Every client’s journey at Passages Malibu begins with a thorough assessment. Our team of experts evaluates each individual’s specific needs, considering both their marijuana dependency and any co-occurring mental health disorders. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each client’s unique situation.

Integrated Therapy

Effective rehabilitation requires addressing both the addiction and its underlying causes. Our integrated therapy approach combines various evidence-based treatments, including:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with dependency.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotional regulation and building healthy coping mechanisms.
• Individual and group therapy provides a supportive environment for clients to share experiences and gain insights from others.

Holistic Therapies

In addition to traditional therapies, we offer a range of holistic therapies designed to promote overall well-being and support recovery. These include:

• Yoga and Meditation: Encourage mindfulness, stress reduction, and emotional balance.
• Fitness programs boost physical health and overall mood, playing a crucial role in recovery.
• Art and Music Therapy: Offer creative outlets for expressing and processing emotions.
• Gourmet Meals: Our team of gourmet chefs prepares three healthy meals daily, ensuring clients receive nutritious, balanced diets to support their physical health.

Supportive Environment

Recovery is best achieved in a supportive and nurturing environment. Passages Malibu provides a serene, luxurious setting where clients can focus entirely on their healing journey. Our compassionate staff is dedicated to offering the highest quality care, ensuring everyone feels valued and supported.
