Passages Malibu

They provide inpatient residential and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Malibu is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Malibu that do it.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Malibu does.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Malibu.

They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Malibu.

List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask what someone on your plan usually ends up paying, which is a different question from the list price.

One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. A residential stay is the easier thing to get approved when there is a documented medical reason for it. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.

Legally it is private, including from family, and including from an employer who is paying. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.
