Rise in Malibu - Malibu, California

An absolute gem!!
The home is stunning with individual spacious rooms, infinity pool, and view of the ocean for starters. My experience with the admissions team of Lori and Berkeley was a great start as I did not, for one minute, feel pressured. The staff, comprised of Masters level and Doctorate clinicians provide the most comprehensive treatment this industry has to offer. The one on one attention you receive here is unbelievable. I had 90+ sessions in a 30 day stay. My Primary Therapist Dr Nisha, my case manager Ellie, Trauma Therapist Michael, IFS and Neurobiology with Dr Mark, Massage and relaxation with Sam, LMFT Gina and Heather, Breathwork/Reiki/Yoga with Cat, Personal Trainer Luke, Nursing with Shari and Paige, Spiritual Counseling with Gina and Beth, 5 star Chefs Jake, Cameron, Bryce and Amanda, Support staff Nam, Art with Noku, all provided the care I desperately needed at this most vulnerable moment in my life. And I need to mention that the CEO Patrick is amazing and he meets every client with a smile and some hope.
If you are needing help, look no further and come to Rise in Malibu. You will be overjoyed you did!!

I had a wonderful experience at Rise. The staff was really receptive and responsive. I felt so well taken care of during my detox and throughout the rest of my stay. I made fast friends with the other clients, and the groups made it so easy for us to bond. I am so grateful for this place and all of its people; it has been the only experience which has made me confident about my continued sobriety.

After several attempts at other rehabs this place saved my life. Everyone from owner to overnight techs treated me like family. Amazing people at an amazing facility ❤️🙏🏻

I cannot give enough praise to Rise in Malibu. My son was recently admitted for the 30 day alcoholism program. With great fear and hesitation he was soon talking with Allison in admissions. Her unbelievable patience, knowledge, unmatched kindness, and long phone calls, gave him the reassurance he needed to get on the plane.
Upon arrival to LAX there was another team member waiting for him at the baggage carousel. He was a recovered alcoholic and really understood the hesitation being experienced by my son. How wonderful to have that real life encouragement, even before walking in the front door.
Upon arrival he met all the wonderful staff that he appreciated were “non judgmental,” which was very important to him. Each staff member took time to really get to know him, so they could develop a personal treatment plan to meet his specific needs. He participated in group, individual and spiritual counseling. The painting activity uncovered a talent that he did not know he had. The group meals, activities, gym time and outings allowed positive and supportive friendships to develop.
I visited about two weeks in and met most of the staff. Every person was as wonderful as he had said they were. It was then I learned that all the staff members have recovered from their own addiction. That explains their kind, understanding and unrelenting devotion to helping others.
During my visit he showed me around and introduced me to the staff like they were all his family. He was proud of his progress and finally believing in recovery. I saw happiness in him for the first time in many years.
He continues to reach out to team members when there is a bump in the road. Having that ability has truly kept him on the right path. He is now in sober living with sobriety a realistic outcome, for the first time in 20 years. I am forever grateful to Rise in Malibu!

This treatment center is truly exceptional—by far the best I’ve ever encountered. The level of care here is unmatched. From the moment you arrive, you are treated as an individual, with every need thoughtfully catered to. The staff is nothing short of incredible; each team member brings unmatched skills, experience, and dedication to their work.

The therapy is top-tier, and the variety of professionals you work with daily ensures a well-rounded, effective experience. It’s clear that every aspect of the treatment process is designed to support and guide you through your journey. The chefs are outstanding, and the quality of the food alone makes the experience even better.

The facility itself is pristine, and every detail is focused on providing the best possible environment for healing. I’m beyond grateful for the life-changing experience I’ve had here. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you’re seeking support, this is the place to be.

I would totally recommend rise to to anyone seeking help with addiction. The house is very clean and the staff is the best part. All in all this place is a great house to center your life. I rate this a five out of five.

Rise saved my life- just about to celebrate 4 years of sobriety. I’m an AA thumper and I’m thankful everyday for my new life. Rise has great staff, programming, and facilities. They really woke me up to what my addiction was all about. Incredibly insightful and supportive. A wonderful foundation for success.

Just thinking about my time at Rise in Malibu fills me with overwhelming emotion. It was truly a life-changing experience. Every single member of the staff and every therapist I worked with was more than just skilled—they were compassionate, patient, insightful, and unwavering in their support. Their expertise and genuine care didn’t just help me—they saved my life.

Today, I am celebrating eight months of continuous sobriety, a milestone I couldn’t have reached without each and every one of you. You gave me hope when I had none and guided me with love and understanding through my darkest moments.

Beyond the healing, I found something even more profound—lifelong friends who feel like family. You’ve given me a new lease on life and a community I will cherish forever. Thank you for everything you do, for the lives you touch, and for the love you give so freely. I love you all with all my heart.
