Admissions
Take Control
of Your New Life
Your brave journey to recovery begins with your first phone call to us. Before you ever arrive at our Admissions Office at The Pointe Malibu Recovery Center, we have already begun the process of individualizing a rehab plan that will work for you. During that first call, we begin to learn about you, your unique lifestyle, your individual needs, and your very real fears. This enables you to enter our facility, not as a stranger but as a friend whom we are prepared to help from the minute you walk through our door.
At the time of admission, you meet some of the staff members who will play an important role in your support group. During this visit, you will have a thorough medical examination and social assessment, which will identify any medical conditions or other health risks in addition to your addiction and/or co-occurring mental health issues.
Our dedicated Admissions team at The Pointe Malibu Recovery Center compiles your medical and prior mental health treatment history for our review. We also discuss our medication regimen, introduce you to our work process and take you on a brief tour to see your ultra-comfortable temporary home. Our focus at this time is to make you feel welcome and safe, secure in the knowledge that you will receive the ultimate in attentive, personal care.

Integrating Care with Solid Support
One of the many care components that sets The Pointe Malibu apart is our Integrated Care Alliance, which builds an unbreakable bond of support consisting of our clinical staff, your referring physician, your family in whatever form you choose and, of course, you. This alliance surrounds you with those who care about you and want the very best results for your recovery journey. Once you provide written permission, we can make each one of these groups an integral part of your support team.
Comfort for Mind and Body
Among the first steps you will take toward healing is detox, which will separate you from your substance dependence. During your Admissions process, we will explain the detox procedure to you and put your mind at ease by discussing how we expertly minimize any discomfort or apprehension related to detox. This also offers you an opportunity to express any other concerns or ask other questions about your exciting quest for a substance-free life.
