Seasons in Malibu Reviews

I am a former client at Seasons. I am incredibly grateful for my experience at Seasons. The clinicians helped me identify my triggers and dramas that lead to my substance abuse. I was taught healthy coping skills and resilience skills to help me process my emotions in a healthy way. The house, staff and chef exceeded my expectations. I am living a sober healthy life today and so much of that is because of Seasons!

My experience with Seasons was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I first contacted them seeking help, their team demonstrated a level of care, professionalism customized approach that immediately put me at ease. The facility itself is well-maintained, providing a comfortable and welcoming environment conducive to healing and recovery. The staff are not only highly qualified and experienced but also genuinely compassionate and supportive. I cannot thank Seasons enough for their dedication and expertise. They have truly made a positive impact on my life and the lives of all my loved ones. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking effective and compassionate services for treating addiction and/or mental health.

In short, Seasons in Malibu changed my life. I was there for 90 days and every person, every day helped me recover from the depression I was in. Every person who works at Seasons comes from a place of wanting the clients to succeed and it creates an environment of support that leads to healing and recovery from the mental issues and/or addictions that brought you there.

Seasons was my second attempt at rehab for a disease that has haunted me for 25 years. The first rehab I tried 6 years prior was not my choice, so it wasn't surprising that it didn't stick. This time, I was determined to leave with a clear understanding of why I drink, what to do in the real world when temptations hit, and how I could live a sober life.

This place has saved my life! The staff at the house were amazing and so supportive through my recovery. The therapists were very knowledgeable and insightful on how to help me. I would highly recommend this facility to others. The food was also amazing and I learned more healthy options.

Everyone working at the Main House was great. They were sensitive, genuinely caring and good at what they do. Here is a quick shout out to all of the people there, who I truly consider my friends. Thank you for making a difficult time go smoothly, both for me and for the others in your care.

I came to Seasons Dec 1, 2023 and stayed 2 months. My experience was profoundly life-changing. Starting from the top all the way down to each and every doctor and practitioner, I could tell immediately that they hired the best team possible. The program felt extremely effective because they paired me with the right fit of doctors and practitioners that had experience with the type of trauma/addictions I had. They were very thoughtful and meticulous in the way our program was experienced by meeting as an entire team on a regular basis to make sure everyone knew how progress was being made and what was happening all the time with the clients. I felt seen and heard and paid attention to on a regular basis and they provided me with everything I needed. I would strongly recommend Seasons to anyone and everyone who asks me for a recommendation. I hope I never have to go back, but if I needed treatment again… I would go to Seasons.

Could not recommend Seasons more to anyone considering! Was in a rough spot before coming there and they helped get me through the hardest parts of my addiction and then, more importantly, address the underlying issues/traumas I had been coping with in negative ways. Despite feeling very ready to re-enter the world, I was very bummed to say goodbye to the staff whom I had gotten so close with - truly awesome and loving people who helped me so much.

I spent some time at Seasons during the Summer/Fall of 2023 and it was certainly a life changing experience. I am so grateful for the opportunity to get help, and I am so glad that I chose to receive it from Seasons. They truly are a dual-diagnosis program, and if you are suffering from addiction, they really work hard at getting to the root of the problem. I did a lot of research prior to choosing which treatment center to go to, and Seasons checked all of the boxes and I was not disappointed. If there is something that disappoints you, it is very easy to advocate for yourself.

Before entering Seasons I read reviews that said this program saved their lives. It gave me hope, but I didn't fully believe it because it seemed too good to be true. Now that I've completed the program I can 100% say it saved my life.

I can't emphasize this enough: Seasons saved my life. Really, I like to say I made the decision to live, and Seasons taught me what it means to be alive. If I could write a 100/5 star review every day for the rest of my life, I would. I came to Seasons after a non-science-based, 12-step-only program that hardly scratched the surface on my trauma. After arriving to Seasons, I was quickly diagnosed with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), and this was the first time I felt seen.

After a previous stint in rehab, I found Seasons in Malibu as my next (and final!) landing spot on my sobriety journey. When I arrived, my anxiety was quickly put to ease thanks to the welcoming staff and comfortable, clean facilities. Most importantly, the treatment I received over the next 30 days was tailored perfectly to my situation and very effective. I feel very fortunate to have found this place and allowing the friendly, knowledgeable staff to assist me in starting a new, exciting chapter in my life.

I arrived at Seasons Malibu an addicted, broken, and abused child. I leave today whole, clean, as a woman with a loud voice; proud and tall. The module that seasons has successfully implemented not only for me but countless others who came before and have yet to come is extraordinary. From all the staff who work tirelessly on our behalf quietly behind the scenes. To the extraordinary peaceful and tranquil setting all make recovery possible if we want it. I am incredibly grateful for this outstanding experience. A million blessings for illuminating the dark night sky - You enabled me to light my own constellation - Star by star by star.

I had such an incredible experience at Seasons. It has a beautiful, comfortable environment to get sober in and a very supportive staff! I was there for 30 days and I loved my time there so much. The therapists there are all incredible as well. My case manager helped me to find a great sober living and a solid aftercare plan. The tools that I learned while being there I took with me. It is the place to go for lasting sobriety.

If you are struggling with any addiction issues, I highly recommend Seasons in Malibu. The staff and team were absolutely amazing and fun to be around. The professional team working with you on a day to day as well are some of the best I have encountered in the space! Stay at the main house, more to do there and the place is gorgeous. JS

My treatment at Seasons Malibu started out with a 4 day stay at Providence St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica for detox. After 4 days at Providence St. Johns hospital I was transported to Seasons Malibu to begin my 30 day alcohol treatment & rehabilitation. Seasons Malibu is nothing short of a 1st class treatment and rehabilitation facility, The entire Seasons Malibu TEAM was professional and extremely caring during my entire 30 day stay. In my opinion, Seasons Malibu or any other treatment facility will only succeed if the patient wants to be there and the patient participates in all of their private sessions and as well as their group sessions. My doctors and therapists were amazing. They were excellent listeners and with their diagnostic professionalism they got to the root of my personal issues that I have been lugging around (inside of me) for years.

Spent a month at Seasons Beach house in Malibu. This was a Life changing experience. The staff was above and beyond. The therapist are the best of the best.. I absolutely would recommend seasons beach house. Thank you Seasons Malibu

Seasons in Malibu is truly a one-of-a-kind place. I arrived a shell of myself, full of self hatred and despair. Everybody at Seasons greeted me with kindness, respect, and love. Through the highest quality therapy, introductions to different modalities, and compassion, Seasons gave me a new, authentic life. I will forever be grateful for my time at Seasons.

Seasons in Malibu changed my life in the most profound ways possible. I went into the facility with zero hope of the future. I now can strongly say, that my life is amazing and will only continue to get better. This place is life changing.

An extremely thorough group of administrators, clinicians and staff. The ratio of professionals to clients is impressive. Highly intellectual focus in both individual and group sessions, as well as the various programs of physical wellness. The accommodations are wonderful, and the chefs tailored the meals to suit each client's dietary wishes.

I went to Seasons in Malibu for 45 days to address my unhealthy patterns of ** and alcohol use, which were manifestations of severe depression and anxiety. I could not have chosen a better place to address these issues. The therapists and professionals I dealt with were absolutely world class. I’ve seen dozens of therapists over the years and I have never come across a set of more caring, focused, and dedicated individuals in my life. They truly give-a-** and opened my mind to different ways of thinking about my mental health as well as practical approaches I can use every day to help with my depression and anxiety.

The time I spent at Seasons in Malibu profoundly changed my life. The analysis and therapy I received from several different perspectives helped me to build an effective and lasting understanding of myself and the reasons I have been drawn to substances. I really can't conceive of a more effective program. Also, the facility is beautiful, the food is amazing, the location is almost dreamlike and the staff is excellent.

Every single person is warm, so helpful, so genuine, so accommodating, and completely without judgment. And the team of therapists-my goodness. Absolute professionals and so kind, so skilled. They have assembled a dynamite team of caring and talented people. They treat people as individuals with a holistic approach. They focus on much more than the surface level addition or mental health diagnosis you present with. This is so important for lasting recovery. Bonus- the environment is beautiful and the food is fantastic. Highly recommended!

My stay at Seasons in Malibu was amazing!! To say that they are the standard is the absolute truth. Everything from the facility and its amenities to all the support staff at all levels. The real pinnacle are the Therapists. They are world class. The growth I achieved there was amazing!! The amount of concern exhibited from everyone was down with heart felt compassion and concern. It was a life changing experience that I will have with me the rest of my life. P.S. The professional Chefs prepare nutritious and gourmet meals. Go for the therapy and stay for the food!!! Eric **.

The genuine care and love and overall nourishment, provided by the staff at Seasons, was next level. If you are open and willing to do the work, you can and will change your life for the better, like nothing you could have imagined. I was in The Beach Cottage house, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I dove in head first, to all that Seasons had to offer, and boy did It pay off. I was getting all of the clinical care I needed, and on top of that, Seasons approach towards great mental health, is also providing spiritual care, and other amazing modalities that feed the holistic side of recovery. Seasons takes pride in keeping the number of clients in each house down, which allows for really strong individual care, as well as much smaller groups.

I had the most amazing experience at Seasons Malibu. When I arrived I was a broken person and with the loving guide of the staff I was able to find my true self and heal on all levels: Spiritually, Physically and Emotionally. They use a 360 approach to therapy which allows you to explore "issues" on every level. Seasons was the best thing I ever did.

I found Seasons to be the perfect solution and environment to treat my alcohol addiction. I spent a combined 90 days in the program, and it was a game-changer. Like any facility, it's not perfect, but the overall experience helped me accomplish my sobriety and restoring my mental balance. They will work with you on a customized program, and you have the time and freedom to have your own space. I loved many of the staff as they became good supporters and were respectful. One of the best aspects was getting to know the other people in the program that helped take the edge off. It was a positive life-changer at the end of the day. It is well worth the investment in your life.

This place is fantastic. The staff is friendly. Therapist very knowledgeable. The variety of therapy is amazing. Location is so great. Beachwalks, gym, heated pool, jacuzzi, and the FOOD! This place is truly world class. I highly recommend going here!

My husband and I were looking for a place for myself and when we went online, Seasons in Malibu was the first place that popped up. We read the reviews and thought that it was gonna be the best place for me. I cannot speak more highly about Seasons in Malibu. The professionalism there was pure comfort. You'd hate to go to rehab, but if you have to, that is the place to go to. Every professional there was amazing. I still communicate with them very frequently. They still care for you afterwards, which makes a huge difference. I contact them if I'm feeling a little whatever, but they also do check-ins every so often to see how I'm doing.

I was looking for a customizable program and I did not want a 12-step program, and based on what I read online, Seasons in Malibu is customizable and it is also a one-on-one approach. I didn’t wanna sit in a classroom with 20 or 30 people like a lot of the 12-step programs. My experience with the admission team was very good. When I had originally reached out to them, John stayed in touch with me. He was there when I arrived there and went through everything with me. He was my primary contact and he did a great job of showing me the ropes, even though it was a Friday afternoon. Going to a facility like that over the weekend is slightly different than during the week, but he did a great job of getting me assimilated there.

I simply could not have had a better treatment experience than the one I had at Seasons in Malibu. The staff there are not only more than excellently trained, but they truly CARE about their patients and their needs. They went far above and beyond my in house treatment to make sure I got to visit my doctors, and even more importantly, they made sure I got to attend one to two AA meetings per day. Attending Malibu Presbyterian Church every Sunday was a must for me and they JOYFULLY joined me there. I simply cannot thank them enough for helping me recover and finding Joy in my life again!

I had gone previously to one of their outpatient sister companies, Vantage Point and I needed a higher level of care, so I contacted Vantage Point again and they told me I needed inpatient and gave me the number. Admission with Seasons in Malibu was painless and seamless. I made a couple of phone calls and was in the door for about 30 minutes of administration stuff. They knew what they were doing.

The staff of Seasons in Malibu have played a huge role in my recovery as well as the intense one-on-one instead of it all being groups, good mix of groups, the location, being by the water and good weather. I worked directly with Merritt, who was very responsive via text message, email, and phone calls, and my experience with the admissions team was great. I didn’t have one person there that I didn’t feel comfortable with or that they weren't doing their job. It was a great experience.

I had a bad experience at a previous facility so my parents researched residential facilities. They found Seasons in Malibu online and the admission was fast and easy. The staff was pretty dang friendly and helpful. They got things done in a timely manner. Gia, the case manager, was extremely helpful. I had a very good experience there and it set a good foundation for my continued recovery.

With the exception of a couple of people, the staff of Seasons in Malibu was really high caliber. They were very well-trained, accommodating and informative. Don from the admissions was fantastic. He was really good and thorough. He answered any questions I had and then he checked in on me to make sure everything was good. They were very professional that way. I went in for post-traumatic stress disorder from a trauma that I experienced recently. And then alcohol was a by-product of the trauma. They were incredibly thorough and they really gave me tools to learn how to deal with it. I got much better from five therapies a day and they were able to help me separate grief from anxiety and from panic. They were really good that way.

I was a resident at Seasons in Malibu for 30 days in October, 2017. I intended to write this review sooner, but I'm actually glad I didn't, because now I have almost 80 days clean & sober and I think I have even more appreciation for this program than I did the day I left. I can honestly say that Seasons has given me my life back. When I first made the decision to go to rehab, I was in terrible shape. My life was unmanageable and I had no hope for the future. But thanks to the amazing staff at Seasons, I learned so much about myself and the reasons for my addiction, and got the tools to get started on a new path. There are so many different and important therapies provided, and while this is hard work, it's also life changing in the best possible way.

This facility is top-notch! The staff is so professional and really cares about their clients! The chef makes delicious food! The list of good things about this facility is endless! The doctors and counselors are amazing too! I would recommend this facility to any parent trying to find a safe and effective treatment facility for their loved ones! I'm so glad I found this place for mine!

I did my own research for different facilities, but I ultimately went with Seasons in Malibu because I now live in Malibu and I also like the healing power of the ions and the water. They have an alternative style of teaching and bestowing the information. They seem like a close-knit family. I was nervous about missing work for my own company, but they were very good about it and the system worked for me. The therapy was great because I'd prefer the one-on-one kind of individual care rather than big groups. Now, I'm doing out-patient which seems to work pretty well as well. It's not a perfect science but having another voice is always helpful. However, it's so damn expensive. Mine wasn't done through insurance and was paid out of pocket.

Seasons in Malibu was recommended to me by people who have referred patients there. It's also close to where I live. My experience with the admissions team was good and they responded quickly to me. The facility is also very nice and the staff, overall, is very good. Some of them are really professional - customer-oriented and so friendly, but I felt that a few individuals who ran things had some attitude. It was like they were always having a bad day. They could probably use a little more training on customer service. But I don't understand that business that well, so I'm probably too critical.

Seasons in Malibu was highly recommended on several websites that I visited. My insurance company's website also said that they were in the network though that wasn't the case when I got there. But the people at Seasons were very nice and welcoming, and the experience was fine for admissions. They were upfront about what it would cost. All the insurance hasn't been finalized yet, but it seems to be on track of what they thought.
