Outpatient Rehab Center – Serenity Malibu

Flexible and Effective Substance Abuse Treatment

At Serenity Malibu, our comprehensive outpatient treatment programs are designed to support recovery without requiring a complete break from your daily life. Whether you’re beginning your recovery journey or working to prevent relapse, our flexible programs are customized to meet your unique needs and schedule.

We combine evidence-based therapy, personalized counseling, and medical support to address both the symptoms of addiction and the underlying causes. With a focus on long-term healing and balance, our outpatient care empowers you to maintain your responsibilities while making meaningful progress toward lasting sobriety.

What is an Outpatient Rehab?

Outpatient rehab provides professional, structured treatment for substance abuse without requiring an overnight stay. Unlike inpatient programs, outpatient care offers the flexibility to maintain your daily responsibilities—such as work, school, or family—while attending scheduled therapy and counseling sessions. This approach allows individuals to receive expert support and guidance as they recover, all while remaining connected to their everyday lives.

Our outpatient rehab center provides:

• Evidence-based therapies
• Group and individual counseling
• Relapse prevention strategies
• Holistic approaches like mindfulness and wellness activities

At Serenity Malibu, we provide every patient with the personalized guidance, resources, and support needed to achieve and maintain long-term sobriety—all within a compassionate, non-judgmental environment.

Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatments at Our Facility Include:

At Serenity Malibu, we offer comprehensive outpatient programs designed for individuals seeking a flexible path to recovery while maintaining their daily responsibilities. These programs are also ideal for those transitioning from residential treatment, providing continued structure and support as they reengage with everyday life. Our outpatient services are focused on strengthening coping skills, preventing relapse, and fostering sustainable, long-term sobriety.

Our outpatient programs include:

Day Programs:

Our day programs are ideal for individuals who are either not currently working or who are able to take time off to prioritize their recovery. These intensive programs require attendance 5 to 7 days a week, with several hours of structured treatment each day, depending on individual needs. After completing daily sessions, clients return home, allowing them to heal in a supportive environment while still enjoying the comfort of their own space.

IOP:

Intensive outpatient substance abuse programs are tailored to fit the individual’s needs and availability.

Our IOP treatment is suitable for individuals who do not require medical detox. They have no flexibility or understanding from employers and have been diagnosed with a mild substance abuse disorder. Programs like this are usually held on weekends.

Aftercare:

Our aftercare program is specifically designed for individuals who have completed our inpatient treatment. It provides continued therapeutic support to reinforce the progress made during rehab and helps patients apply the skills they’ve learned to real-life situations. Sessions include ongoing counseling, peer support, and practical guidance to navigate daily challenges in sobriety. To ensure a smooth transition back to everyday life, our aftercare schedule is flexible and tailored to fit each individual’s availability.

What Do We Offer as a Complementary Treatment Module?

We understand that substance abuse, and mental disorders are often co-occurring. We therefore provide our patients with different therapies to help them cope with the situation.

Our Outpatient Rehab Center provides clients with some complementary treatment modules for the recovery process:

• Psychiatry

  We have an expert staff of psychiatrists who diagnose personality disorders like depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, etc. We prescribe non-addictive medication to treat these disorders and also recommend inpatient rehab for clients who struggle with outpatient treatment.

• Individual Therapy

• Every client at Serenity Malibu receives one-on-one therapy with an experienced clinician. Together, they work to uncover the underlying external and internal factors contributing to addiction, including any co-occurring mental health disorders diagnosed by our psychiatrist. Through this therapeutic relationship, clients explore their personal and family histories to identify the roots of harmful coping behaviors. This self-discovery becomes the foundation for building healthier, more sustainable coping strategies moving forward.

• Group Therapy

  We provide group therapy to patients as part of our aftercare program. Our goal is to offer patients support rather than therapy, encouraging them through learning from the experiences of others.

• Family Therapy

  Family dysfunction can sometimes be a contributing factor to addiction. In the this, our patients will have the opportunity to live with their families, so we place a high value on therapy that involves the entire family.

• Relapse Prevention

  We also offer relapse prevention sessions to learn how to avoid triggers, manage cravings, and bring recovery into their everyday lives. They will also gain insight into how to rebound from a relapse

• Alternative Treatment Modules

  Our outpatient substance abuse programs offer several alternative treatment models. Clients are provided with personalized treatments that provide them with the opportunity to find therapies that are best suited to their needs. These therapies include:

  • Hypnotherapy (carried out by certified practitioners)
  • Mindfulness therapy
  • Acupuncture and massage
  • Brainspotting, a relatively new brain-based therapy
  • Educational programs on substances and neurobiology

Admission Criteria for Our Outpatient Rehab Center:

Not all addicts are eligible for our program. The patient must meet the following criteria to join our treatment program.

• The patient has mild addiction and will not experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping the substance.
• They have a strong support system at home, from family and friends.
• They have job security and flexibility to attend treatment, due to a shorter workday or an understanding employer. If they are self-employed, they are particularly suited to adjusting their structure to make the necessary space for treatment.
• The patient is not in touch with another addicted person in family, workplace, or friends.

Outpatient substance abuse treatment programs require full commitment from the patient.

If the individual cannot guarantee that they will be able to attend all sessions without pressure from their work or home environment, they are better suited to inpatient rehab, where they have no choice but to commit.
