Depression Healing

Of course, the ultimate goal of any depression treatment plan is depression recovery: depression recovery that helps depressives regain their sense of hope, and of joy; depression recovery that makes the world a place worth living in, and tomorrow a thing worth looking forward to. Depression treatment only matters, simply put, if it helps you rediscover your sense of who you were, and who you might be again.

It’s hard, obviously: depression treatment, and depression healing. The nature of depression is such that depression recovery can feel, for depression victims, like an impossible dream more than anything else; it’s awful tough to see the light, you might say, when you’re buried in the darkness. Depression, to make a point that shouldn’t need to be made, is a formidable obstacle, and no one overcomes it without committing the entire extent of his being to the depression treatment process. As hard as hope might be to come by, you don’t have any choice but to believe.

And believing, it’s important to note in closing, doesn’t count for much if it isn’t linked to action. The fact that you’ve made it this far says a lot: You know what’s at stake, and you know you can’t beat depression alone. Now, it’s up to you to take the first step, and to seek the kind of depression treatment you need if you’re ever going to get better for good. No, it isn’t easy…but anything worth doing rarely is. For your own sake, make today the day you start putting depression on the run.

Sunset Malibu Proven Opiates Detox Program Successfully Treats “Legal” and “Illegal” Addictions


Say the word “Opiates” and your mind probably pulls up a black-and-white, 1940s spy movie, with Humphrey Bogart trying to run down dope smugglers in the Kasbah.

But in real life, “opiates” can be any narcotic-based substance – from illegal recreational drugs like heroin to prescription opiates such as Vicodin and Oxycontin.

One thing the movies pretty much has down pat about addiction is this: the initial detox period when treating opiate addictions is the toughest part of kicking the habit.

When you’re facing opiate addiction head-on, you need to be able to concentrate on kicking the habit without the pressure of outside influences. That’s why the luxurious residence at Sunset Malibu is the choice many opiate addicts make when they are truly ready to kick their habit for good.

Nestled on an extremely private stretch of land overlooking the Pacific, Sunset Malibu offers a luxurious environment for its residents, with features and amenities conducive to healing. These amenities include:

* Well-appointed rooms, complete with plasma TV, fireplace and Internet access
* Laundry service
* Spa treatments
* Spectacular ocean view dining room offering healthy, gourmet meals
* Gym, fitness center and personal trainer
* Alternative programs such as yoga
* Wide range of recreational activities including cycling, swimming and hiking

This “lap of luxury” treatment frees the patient from the stresses of life so that they can concentrate on recovery.

Every addiction is unique, in its underlying causes and its ultimate effects. That’s why Sunset Malibu’s opiates detox program offers close monitoring of patient progress and individualized treatment. Each patient is assigned a primary therapist upon checking in. This works closely and directly with the patient for the duration of his or her stay.

The supportive clinical staff at Sunset Malibu oversees the opiates detox program. They help to relieve any physical withdrawal symptoms that the patient might suffer. In addition to clinical treatment, the opiates detox program includes both traditional and alternative group and individual therapies.

Don’t let an addiction to opiates stop you from living the life you deserve. If you or someone you love is suffering from opiate dependency, Sunset Malibu is here to help – both at our luxurious facility or even over the phone.
