Understanding Chronic Relapse

Chronic relapse is defined as repeated returns to substance use despite previous attempts to achieve sobriety. This cycle can be triggered by a variety of factors, including unresolved trauma, mental health disorders, or lack of a supportive environment. It’s crucial to approach this issue with empathy and understanding, recognizing that relapse is not a sign of failure but rather an indication that deeper, underlying issues need to be addressed.

A New Hope: Comprehensive and Personalized Care

At Serenity Malibu, we understand that each individual’s path to recovery is unique, which is why we offer personalized treatment plans tailored to the specific needs and histories of our clients. Our approach incorporates both traditional and alternative therapies to address the root causes of addiction and promote holistic healing.

Evidence-Based Therapies

Our evidence-based therapies include Brainspotting, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Somatic Experience, all aimed at addressing trauma and other psychological factors contributing to addiction. These therapies are conducted by primary therapists who hold doctorate degrees in psychology, ensuring that our clients receive the highest standard of care.

Holistic Recovery Program

Beyond traditional therapy, our holistic recovery program integrates practices such as yoga, acupuncture, massage therapy, and spiritual therapy. These activities not only promote physical well-being but also foster emotional and spiritual healing, helping individuals reconnect with themselves in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Breaking Free from the Past: Support and Community

One of the keys to overcoming chronic relapse is having a strong support system. At Serenity Malibu, we offer support for self-help groups like SMART Recovery and Refuge Recovery, providing clients with a community of peers who understand their struggles. We also emphasize the importance of family involvement in the recovery process, offering therapy sessions that include loved ones when appropriate.
