About The Meadows Malibu
Set against breathtaking Pacific Ocean scenery and just moments from the shoreline, The Meadows Malibu provides a calm setting for individuals dealing with addiction, mental health challenges, or related co-occurring conditions. The center combines treatment approaches grounded in research, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with complementary, whole-person options such as acupuncture and yoga. Within the facility, The Meadows Malibu also features a Brain Center focused on the neuroscience underlying the trauma that contributes to clients’ struggles. Here, clients can receive neurofeedback to help strengthen and retrain brain activity, along with Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES), Heart-Rate Variability (HRV), and a Chi Machine. These services are offered to all patients as part of their care. The center additionally provides case management to coordinate the most appropriate plan for each individual, including a customized nutrition program.
Hidden in the Malibu hills, The Meadows Malibu is a 12-bed residential setting that emphasizes meaningful daily activities such as hiking, surfing, and soccer. Treatment is guided by three foundational principles of psychological functioning—mind, thought, and consciousness—which are presented as the basis for shaping life experiences. The center supports clients not only in recovery, but also in learning how to live in alignment with these principles. Programming is personalized to each person’s clinical, physical, social, work, and personal circumstances. The Meadows Malibu is accredited by The Joint Commission and operates as a private pay program.
