Meet the Founders of
Passages Malibu


Passages Malibu was founded in 2001 by father and son, Chris and Pax Prentiss. For ten difficult years, Pax was hooked on heroin, cocaine, and alcohol. He tried different treatment centers, but always relapsed. At that time, all the treatment centers used the 12-Step program which did not resonate well with Pax. One day Pax and Chris were talking about Pax’s addiction and how to end it once and for all. This is how they came up with the idea for the treatment program which would heal the underlying causes of addiction. Pax was the first person to experience this amazing holistic program and it worked. That was almost twenty years ago, and Pax has been sober ever since.

Passages is the first Non-12 Step holistic treatment center and has treated thousands of people since opening in 2001. Pax and Chris work at Passages nearly every day and they are still as dedicated today as the day it opened.

The Creation of Passages

Passages was created in 2001 by Chris and Pax Prentiss after they successfully created a holistic treatment program that helped save Pax’s life. After spending many years in and out of 12 Step rehab centers and not seeing any progress, Chris was determined to design a customized therapy plan that offered what it was that Pax needed to get sober and heal from his addiction-related issues finally.
