Cliffside Malibu

As many of you already know I am an addict in the process of recovery. I am quite aware of the havoc that an addiction of any kind can wreak in the lives of those effected by this affliction of sorts. Fortunately I have had the opportunity to get and stay clean but there are many that have not found any freedom from their addiction and there are many more that will never find the freedom that is available.

I tried for many years to stop using on my own, but in the end any type of abstinence was short lived and I always returned to my so called "solution" in regards to dealing with life which by the way was ....drugs.

At the end of my using, I found it necessary to seek professional help in order to begin my road to recovery. For me drug rehab worked, I don't mean to say that it was the magic bullet that solved my addiction problem. But it was the first steps onto the path of personal-responsibility that would help me learn to live with and manage the aspects of my addiction, that are always present even after I stop using substances of any kind.

It wasn't until I submitted myself into a drug rehabilitation center did I come to realize and understand that addiction, in and of itself is a disease. I didn't choose the life of addiction because I was bored, I discovered through the information available within the treatment facility that I suffered from a disease of body mind and spirit. I came to understand that help was available if I was willing to embrace a new way to live outside the realm of active addition.

Finding the right drug treatment center is often a problem for many of those addicted. There are so many different types of drug treatment facilities available that incorporate the many different ways to approach addiction and the recovery process.

I am a firm believer in the 12-step philosophy approach to the treatment of addiction. I know that for myself addiction ran much deeper then the very obvious drug abuse problem and I needed to address the many other issues that often accompany an addiction of any sorts.

There is a rehabilitation center called Cliffside Malibu that offers a comprehensive treatment approach to the problem of addiction. A residential drug and alcohol rehab and extended care facility for those suffering from the ill effects of addiction in their lives. They incorporate the 12-step approach to addiction as well as many other clinical aspects to create a comprehensive and effective treatment for someone seeking recovery from an addiction.
