About Serenity Malibu
Serenity Malibu is a premier addiction treatment center located in Malibu, California, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. The program is designed to support whole-person healing—addressing the body, mind, and spirit—within a refined, luxury setting. As a non-12-Step residential facility, Serenity Malibu takes a holistic and individualized approach to care, offering a wide range of therapeutic options. Clients receive one-on-one counseling with doctoral-level therapists and participate in modalities such as SMART Recovery, hypnotherapy, equine therapy, cooking therapy, expressive arts, surf therapy, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, yoga, and massage. After completing residential treatment, clients can continue their journey through outpatient services and dedicated alumni support programs.
Serenity Malibu maintains a small client base—typically 8 to 10 individuals at a time—to ensure highly personalized and attentive care. The program also caters to executives and professionals by offering private treatment options tailored to their unique needs. A separate residence is available for working professionals, equipped with WiFi, workspace accommodations, and added privacy, allowing clients to stay connected to their responsibilities while focusing on recovery.
Set on a scenic hillside, the residence offers a peaceful and secluded environment with panoramic ocean views. The interior features upscale furnishings and private bedrooms with either ocean or hillside vistas. Outdoors, clients can relax in serene garden spaces, enjoy a large swimming pool, or unwind on the patio. Serenity Malibu incorporates its natural surroundings into the healing process, encouraging participation in activities such as art, cooking, creative writing, surfing, hiking, and tennis. Clients also have access to personal trainers and a fully equipped fitness center, along with gourmet meals designed to support physical and emotional well-being.
With its combination of expert care, personalized programming, and an exceptional coastal setting, Serenity Malibu delivers a truly elevated and transformative recovery experience.

Special Considerations
Medical Management and Detoxification
The road to a thorough and productive treatment experience begins with a strong medical assessment and consistent oversight. This is most important in the majority of our clients that require detoxification from drugs or alcohol.

Another key component to our program is the assessment and diagnosis of the family. Family dynamics are often times overlooked, but they can be an essential piece of the overall puzzle. This is not to say that the family is responsible for an addict’s behavior, but everyone has a role to play.
