Recognizing the signs of drug and alcohol abuse
There are signs that can emerge in addiction, and it’s important to understand and recognize them. When we approach recovery, we help each individual in identifying these stages which can include:
- Using drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism: Using alcohol or drugs to relieve any pain or stress.
- Your mood changes frequently: Your behavior becomes inconsistent, and you feel increasingly agitated, anxious, or depressed
- Your choices are getting you in trouble: The individual is placing themselves or others in harmful situations such as drunk driving, physical confrontations, escalating verbal arguments, placing your job in jeopardy, spending money excessively, and/or having encounters with law enforcement.
- You’re struggling with Relationships: Relationships with family, friends, and everyone around you become a continuous issue. Commitments become stressful as well and you give up on activities to drink or use instead.
- Drugs / Alcohol begin to consume your life and responsibilities: You may notice that personal hygiene is neglected, you stop showing up for work or appointments, you avoid seeing your family, and perhaps seldom leave your home other than to pick up a substance.

Our treatment Approach
Addiction is life changing…and your treatment should be to. During a client’s stay at Malibu Wellness Ranch addiction treatment center, we want you to feel safe and connected. We are going to ask you to change a variety of things about your life, the way you behave, the way you think about things, and the way you react to problems. In our small group environments, you have the opportunity to bond with a set of your peers and clinicians in a setting that allows you the comfortability to work through your own individual issues and receive support on making the necessary changes. If nothing changes, then the misery we have all experienced in addiction will continue to stay the same.
We believe in a whole person approach to recovery with focus on a 12-step program. Malibu offers you a genuine journey to self-discovery and the opportunity to find true enjoyment in recovery. While in our care, you will be exposed to a multitude of clinical techniques and interventions combined with our adventure and recreational, experiential treatment components. These experiences will set you on the pathway to long term recovery, as long as you have the willingness to change.
