A substance use disorder is hard enough to overcome, but for licensed health professionals and others governed by regulatory boards, addiction can also put their entire career at risk. That’s why The Meadows Malibu offers a program tailored to this group’s very specific needs.
At The Meadows Malibu, we treat:
The Meadows Malibu Professionals Program, was specifically designed to treat professionals dealing with substance use disorders and other potentially impairing conditions. Our knowledgeable staff understands what’s at stake and has the experience to provide the treatment necessary to mitigate risk and maximize success. Our highly experienced clinical team is committed to helping you achieve not just sobriety and career restoration but also a healthy work-life balance necessary to sustain lasting recovery.
Executives and licensed professionals who are seeking treatment for substance use disorders and mental health issues don’t always have the option to put their careers on hold. Our Professionals Program understands this and allows clients access to their laptops and phones during approved times in their customized schedule. This lets patients get the help they need while remaining available to maintain essential work communications.
Everyone in the Professionals Program also benefits from the holistic and personalized treatment programming The Meadows Malibu is known for. We follow a trauma-focused model and adhere to the three principles as guideposts for treatment. Everyone who spends time at The Meadows Malibu has access to our Brain Center, which includes neurofeedback as well as other state-of-the-art equipment to promote self-regulation skills. They also enjoy healthy gourmet meals, high-end accommodations, and stunning ocean views while surrounded by Malibu’s natural beauty.
We know these busy professionals are eager to get back to work, so there’s always concern about how long treatment will take. While our Professionals Program has a 45-day average length of stay, every patient’s situation is unique, so time in treatment is always determined by individual progress. Taking the time necessary to truly heal leads to better outcomes and less chance of relapse.
Our team has the experience to navigate board and professional health program requirements for reinstatement. We understand how and when to communicate with the appropriate parties, sharing necessary information regarding initial diagnosis as well as ongoing progress.
Our role doesn’t end when treatment does. To help ensure success, alumni are given ongoing support in the form of aftercare groups. As they begin to apply the tools acquired during treatment to real-life situations, professional peers who have “been there” and are further along in their recovery can share their experiences and offer encouragement.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that addiction doesn’t discriminate. It affects people of all ages, careers, income brackets, and zip codes.
