About Oceanside Malibu in Malibu, California

Personalized Treatment That Meets You Where You Are

Addiction is complex, and recovery is never one-size-fits-all. That’s why Oceanside takes a full-spectrum approach to care, designing treatment plans that reflect each individual’s unique needs, history, and goals. While some clients benefit from therapy and counseling alone, others may require medication-assisted support to stabilize and strengthen their recovery.

By tailoring treatment to the whole person, not just the addiction, Oceanside helps create a foundation for meaningful, long-term change.

A Highly Experienced, Compassionate Clinical Team

Every client who arrives at Oceanside is treated with respect, dignity, and the belief that lasting recovery is possible. Our multidisciplinary team is made up of licensed, highly trained professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, medical providers, nurses, nutritionists, exercise physiologists, master-level therapists, substance use counselors, sober coaches, and specialty clinicians.

With one of the highest staff-to-client ratios in the field, the Oceanside team is able to provide truly individualized attention. This depth of care also allows clinicians to identify and address underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or personality disorders that often contribute to substance use. Treating these root issues is essential to achieving sustainable recovery.

Comprehensive Care for Co-Occurring and Process Addictions

In addition to substance use treatment, Oceanside offers thorough assessment and care for co-occurring conditions and behavioral addictions. This includes support for challenges such as video game and online gaming addiction, compulsive gambling, non-suicidal self-injury, and eating disorders.

Through an integrated, full-spectrum approach, clients learn to recognize addictive patterns, understand triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies, empowering them to maintain balance and stability well beyond treatment.
