How Malibu residents reach care in Orange County
Enhance is based in Tustin, about 61 miles from Malibu City Hall by road. Admissions can place you in the right level of care or refer you to another program, wherever you live.
61 miles
In person
You can attend treatment in person in Orange County. Admissions will tell you where your program meets when you call.
Join from home
Virtual PHP, IOP and outpatient care run by video, so much of your treatment can happen from home.
If a structured home would help during PHP or IOP, supported living adds staff oversight and a sober setting. Admissions can tell you where the homes are.
Levels of care for Malibu rehab
Malibu rehab at Enhance includes every level on this list. Admissions helps you decide where to start and checks what your insurance covers.
In person
Detox
Medically supervised withdrawal from alcohol, opioids or prescription drugs, provided through Eden by Enhance, with medication when needed.
Inpatient
Inpatient rehab, also called residential care, where you live on site with a full daily schedule.
PHP
Most of each day in treatment, and you sleep at home or in supported living.
IOP
Intensive outpatient treatment for part of the week, so work, school and family can continue.
Outpatient
Regular individual, group or family therapy sessions that continue after the more intensive levels.
From home, by video
Virtual PHP
Most of each day in mental health treatment, by video.
Virtual IOP
IOP for addiction treatment or mental health, from home.

Therapies and treatment approaches
Your clinical team builds personalized treatment from methods with published research behind them. Sessions are individual, group and family, and your plan changes as you progress.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Helps you notice the thoughts behind cravings and low mood, and practice skills that help you avoid a return to use.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Builds skills for handling strong emotions and distress without turning to alcohol or drugs.
- Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT)
- Challenges the beliefs that make setbacks feel unbearable, so they are easier to work through.
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
- A structured therapy that helps you process traumatic memories, including trauma connected to substance use.
- Individual, group and family therapy
- Treatment happens in all three settings, and family sessions show the people close to you how to support your recovery.
How your treatment plan is built
A clinical assessment
Clinicians look at your substance use, mental health and daily life together before recommending detox, residential treatment or outpatient care.
A plan with your goals
Your personalized treatment plan sets goals with you, and the clinical team reviews it as things change.
Medication when it helps
If medication is part of your care, a licensed psychiatrist prescribes it and reviews how it is working.
Aftercare and relapse prevention
Before each step down you plan the next one, with relapse prevention, coping skills, sober living if it helps, and support for long-term recovery.
Substances, conditions and programs we treat
When substance use and a mental health condition occur together, one team treats both, in person or by video.
Substances
Mental health alongside them
How to choose the right level of care
Your level of care depends on your withdrawal risk, your safety at home and your daily life. Admissions will also tell you whether virtual care fits what you need.
Outpatient care may fit if
- You can stay safe and away from use between sessions.
- You have a steady place to live and people who support you.
- You need to keep working, studying or caring for family.
- You are stepping down from detox or inpatient care.
Start with detox or inpatient if
- You get shaky, sick or anxious when you stop drinking or using.
- You use alcohol, benzodiazepines or opioids every day.
- You tried outpatient treatment before, and it was not enough.
- Staying away from alcohol or drugs is too hard while you live at home.
If there is immediate danger, call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room first.

How Enhance answers
Is it accredited?
Yes. Enhance is accredited by The Joint Commission for Behavioral Health Care and Human Services, organization ID 660231.
Is it certified by the state?
Yes. The California Department of Health Care Services certifies Enhance under certification 300410AP, which expires March 31, 2027.
Who leads the care?
Master's and doctorate-level clinicians lead treatment, overseen by our medical director, Dr. Clifford Feldman, and our clinical director, Matthew Beck, LMFT.
Can it treat mental health and addiction together?
Yes. Dual diagnosis care treats both at the same time, with one team, at every level.
What happens after the first level?
Enhance runs every level, so stepping down after detox or inpatient rehab does not mean finding a new provider.
Is it in network with my insurance?
Enhance is in network with plans including Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Optum and United Healthcare, and admissions checks your own benefits first.
Will it tell you if another level fits better?
Yes. The first call is an assessment conversation, and admissions will say so if a different level or another provider suits you better.

Cost and coverage
What to expect on the first call, and paying for rehab
The first call is a conversation with admissions about what is happening, and checking your insurance is part of it.
You call or send the form
Tell admissions what is happening, for yourself or a loved one, and which substances or symptoms are involved.
Admissions asks a few questions
These screening questions help decide which level of care fits, and whether another provider would suit you better.
We check your benefits
With your permission we contact your insurer, then explain your deductible, copay and which level your plan supports.
You decide
If you want to go ahead, admissions walks you through the next steps, and nothing is decided until you say so.
We are in network with these insurance plans: Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Optum, United Healthcare, Magellan, Blue Shield of California, MHN, Health Net, Ambetter, Multiplan, CalPERS, Pathways and Vivity.
Benefits vary from plan to plan, and a verification is not a guarantee of coverage.
