Holistic and Customized Treatment

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.

Length of Stay

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.

Getting Back to Work

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.

Support As You Return Home

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.
