Addiction recovery starts with an intervention, when friends and family members—with assistance from an intervention specialist - help an addict recognize the truth about himself and his problem. Next comes a period of detox, whether it's drug detox or alcoholism detox, during which specially-trained doctors help a patient break the physiological bonds of substance dependency. Detox is followed by a primary rehab program, which aims to promote the sort of physical and emotional healing upon which all long-term sobriety must be based. Heroin addicts need heroin detox. Cocaine addicts need cocaine detox. Finally - and certainly not least importantly - there's sober living, a transitional period during which recovering addicts develop the skills and self-control they'll need to lead healthy, functional lives in the real world.

Each of these four phases is absolutely vital to the overall success of the recovery process. That's why Sunset Malibu places such a keen emphasis on each of them in its recovery programs. From an opiate detox program, to an ambient treatment program, it's also why upscale clients from all over the world make Sunset their exclusive rehab destination. For your own sake, for the sake of the people who care about you, let today be the day you start learning the truth on your own terms.
