SAG Health Plan Members Now Eligible for High-End Chemical Dependency Program

Malibu, CA (PRWEB) May 19, 2009

The Malibu Beach Recovery Center (http://www. malibubeachrecovery. com), a luxurious alcohol and drug treatment center overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is now available to Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Health Plan participants.

"Our chemical dependency program is unique and very compatible with the lifestyle of people in the arts," said CEO Joan Borsten, a veteran of the film industry. "Actors who successfully completed our program urged us to accept SAG insurance so that our treatment would be affordable for more actors and their families."

Malibu Beach Recovery Center's (MBRC) specialized "Approach to Addiction" combines traditional U. S. treatment methods with a successful, patented, holistic modality designed by European scientists to repair the mood regulatory system and stabilize emotions. Clients participate in a daily exercise program taken from yoga that has been proven to efficiently restore brain chemistry, lift depression, and calm anxiety. A gourmet low glycemic diet (http://malibubeachrecovery. com/recovery_diet. php) that eliminates mood swings and cravings is a specialty of the program, as is a regimen of natural food supplements that enhances both the exercise and the diet. In addition there is individual therapy, group therapy, and 12 Step program work (http://malibubeachrecovery. com/read_more_article_5.php). Clients are trained to incorporate the exercise program and diet into their lifestyles as tools for maintaining their sobriety.

The Center, licensed and certified by the State of California, is known for being discreet and boutique.

The 90 day chemical dependency program is divided between 28 days of residential treatment in Malibu and 62 days of transitional living (http://malibubeachrecovery. com/transitional_living. php) in West Los Angeles. "The 'gold standard' for treatment in now understood to be 90 days," said Executive Director Kathy Leigh Willis, a 30 year veteran of the field of alcohol and substance abuse. "Outcome studies have shown that addicts and alcoholics who spend 90 days in treatment have more than a seventy percent chance of long term sobriety. It is during the transitional living phase of treatment that our clients learn to apply and "practice" the sobriety skills learned in residential treatment. Anything less than 90 days is considered to be of limited or no effectiveness by the National Institute of Drug Abuse. To make sure all of our clients get at least 90 days of treatment, we provide those who need to return to work immediately with an MBRC coach."

MBRC recently partnered with the credit facility Serenityloans, which specifically arranges financing for people wishing to access treatment with addiction and alcohol related problems. The loans, which are processed online, are low interest and long term. Applications are processed within hours, so that those seeking treatment can be admitted to MBRC immediately.
