About The Pointe Malibu Recovery Center
The Pointe Malibu Recovery Center helps clients reclaim their lives through evidence-based treatment, highly skilled clinical staff, and a restorative oceanfront setting. They offer a concierge service program, an LGBTQ+ treatment track, and a specialized program for executives and professionals. Their integrative treatment model places clients at the center of their treatment, with confidentiality as a priority.
The Pointe Malibu treats addiction, co-occurring mental health conditions, primary mental health, chronic pain, and trauma. With a 5:1 staff-to-client ratio, The Pointe Malibu delivers high-quality, evidence-based therapy in an intimate setting. Customized treatment plans can include traditional talk therapies, eye movement therapy (EMDR), art and music therapy, family counseling, and a host of experiential therapies.
The Pointe Malibu’s psychodynamic approach aims to understand the deep psychological drives of each client. With this approach, The Pointe can deliver comprehensive and specific treatment. Clients have 5-8+ individual therapy sessions each week. Group and family therapies are also available, with group sizes kept small for privacy and comfort. Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations (CDEs) help guide treatment, offering diagnoses for mental health conditions, trauma, and substance use disorders.
During treatment, clients live in spectacular ocean-front homes. Most rooms are private for greater confidentiality and comfort. The Pointe Malibu offers surf therapy, massage, yoga, Chi Gong, acupuncture, and IV therapy as some of their holistic options. Hypnotherapy and nutritional counseling complement the wellness opportunities at The Pointe. In-house chefs prepare gourmet meals each day. And with their beach-front homes, clients can walk along the beach and enjoy water activities like surfing. Flexible concierge-style treatments give clients time to explore Malibu or attend to work needs.

The Pointe has worked very hard to develop a team that balances both clinical and 12step educational components. Their communication with me has been everything I have asked for. Each case requires a different approach and they have been great in working with me to customize each client’s treatment plan. I would recommend them to anyone looking for top shelf behavioral health care.

I experienced a tremendous amount of care, mindfulness, and a thoughtful personalized treatment plan in a loving environment. With my 1:1 therapy sessions and powerful process group sessions, I was able to uncover and work on “why” I was there while treating what brought me there. The entire staff was dedicated to my treatment and recovery from Day-1 and beyond with a well planned exit strategy to support my recovery. I am forever grateful!

Amazing program, facility, and staff! Everything was five star. I’ve been to several treatment facilities and have never been able to stay sober for an extended period until Pointe Malibu. I learned to love myself again. I can’t say enough to express my gratitude for their guidance. I’m going on almost three years sober and the staff at Pointe Malibu will always be primary in my journey.
