Comprehensive Holistic Alcohol Rehabilitation

Most traditional group meeting facilities claim that alcoholism and addiction are incurable "diseases," and that they are a result of your gene pool. Here at Passages Addiction Cure Center, we know that all dependency is a result of only one or more of these four causes, which are:

1. Chemical imbalance in the brain;
2. Unresolved events from the past;
3. Beliefs you hold that are inconsistent with what is true;
4. An inability to cope with current conditions.

In order to cure you of your addictions, we need to discover the causes of your dependency and heal them. Once the underlying causes are healed the addiction will disappear. Notice that we do not claim that addiction is a disease or a result of genetics. Millions of people in the United States have parents who were addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, while they are not addicted to substances of any kind, and never have been. Addiction is not a disease, because it is actually a symptom that arises due to one of the four aforementioned causes. Once these causes have been discovered and healed, the symptoms disappear, and your dependency is forever cured. And here at Passages, this is exactly what we strive for. We want for you to live happily, peacefully, and in good health, completely free from the need to abuse addictive substances or behaviors.

THE FACTS OF ALCOHOL ADDICTION

Alcohol rehab is necessary when you or someone you care about becomes addicted to alcohol and is harming their lives and the lives of those around them. Alcohol Rehab is a very important step towards curing and healing yourself forever. It should be looked at as a positive move towards health.

You or someone you care about is using alcohol to numb the pain that is present in your life. Addiction and alcoholism are only symptoms of a deeper underlying problem. We work to heal the underlying problems through ancient and modern techniques using the best one-on-one therapy available. Alcohol addiction is completely curable if you have plenty of one-on-one treatment by professionals in the addiction field who know how to locate, and heal the underlying problems that are causing you to use. Passages is the only rehab in the country that offers 65 hours of one-on-one therapy per month per client. Most traditional group meeting rehab centers only offer 4 hours a month of one-on-one therapy. We offer over 15 times the amount of individual attention then your traditional group meeting facility. Which is why our success rate is the highest in the world. Learn more about our alcoholism and drug addiction treatment program.

Until someone assists you with discovering your hidden pain or trauma, and then formulates a treatment program to heal those areas, it is most likely that you will continue abusing substances to self-medicate the underlying condition. However, we know from experience that it is possible to be cured of alcohol addiction through powerful one-on-one individual counseling in the right environment, with trained expert counselors and a breakthrough approach to alcohol rehab, like the one found here at Passages Addiction Cure Center.

THE HOLISTIC PASSAGES ALCOHOL TREATMENT PROGRAM

In order to achieve your goal of being permanently free of addictive substances, we pair you upon arrival with a team of 10 specialists who will work one-on-one with you every week. You will have at least 16 individual sessions per week with these therapists, more than 65 individual sessions per month. At the end of each week, your entire treatment team meets to discuss their findings and to create a new program for the following week. This way your treatment program will progress as you progress.

Your team includes a clinical psychologist, a hypnotherapist, a spiritual counselor, a medical doctor we recommend, an acupuncturist, a drug and alcohol counselor, a marriage family therapist, a nutritionist, a physical trainer, a life purpose coach, a continuing care specialist for when you leave Passages, and a massage therapist. In addition, our two directors, Chris and Pax Prentiss are available to meet with you personally. That level of care is not available at any substance abuse center anywhere in the world.

The holistic alcohol treatment approach at Passages Addiction Cure Center, with the highest success rate in the country, includes:

You might want to compare any other treatment program to ours to see where you would like to go to be permanently cured of your dependency. You will find that most centers are offering only group meetings for therapy. These programs have a success rate as low as 4%.

ALCOHOLISM IS NOT A DISEASE!

For decades people have believed that alcohol addiction is a disease. Most psychologists, counselors and specialists today still believe that alcohol addiction is an incurable disease that must be "managed" for a lifetime, and that "there is no cure" or a total rehabilitating alcoholism treatment program.

Alcoholism is not a disease; there are clear passages to recovery and rehabilitation through holistic principles and individualized techniques.

"Today, having healed hundreds of people just like you and Pax, I can write with complete certainty that alcoholism and addiction are not diseases." Says Chris Prentiss, Co-founder of the Passages Malibu Alcoholism & Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Treatment Center. Read more of Chris's statement.

A COMPLETE CURE TO ALCOHLISM & TOTAL REHABILITATION IS POSSIBLE

The goal of most alcohol rehab treatment programs is to create continuing alternative coping mechanisms to which clients can turn instead of alcohol. Many alcohol rehab and drug rehab treatment programs and facilities rely heavily upon traditional group meetings for client therapy. However, you or your loved one's past may be too shameful, hurtful or embarrassing to discuss in a group setting; it may even be impossible to recall certain events in group meetings. Only in the privacy of individual, confidential sessions can one feel safe enough to talk about one's innermost fears and painful memories.

Many facilities and programs employ the use of "browbeating" tactics, which impress upon the client their supposed lack of focus, willpower, or commitment in previous rehabilitation attempts, even requiring clients to perform menial tasks in order to surrender to a collective, supposedly healing group mentality.

We have found these methods to be misleading and dangerous to clients.

This is why Passages offers a compassionate setting with more individual treatment than any other alcohol and drug rehab center in the world - by far. At typical drug rehab centers, clients receive 4 individual sessions a month. At Passages, each client receives 65 sessions of private therapy per month with world-renowned addiction therapists. Chris and Pax searched the country and hand picked the finest therapists to be found anywhere.

Patrick Hanaway, M.D., medical director of Genova Diagnostics in North Carolina says, "A multidisciplinary approach like the one used at Passages…allows the treatment team to more clearly see all of the aspects of an individual.

Permanent freedom from dependency on drugs and alcohol is only a phone call away. We will be with you or your loved one every step of the way. Please call us now at to learn more.
