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.

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.
