An optional Extended Care program adds 60 or 90 days, or more for those who require further treatment.</p> <p>Summit Malibu follows the disease concept of addiction. The center's treatment programs are built around the core values of individualized treatment and plenty of one-on-one therapy - <strong>each client receives more than 80 hours of individual treatment a month.</strong> The 12-Steps do not form an integral part of treatment, but clients may attend meetings as an optional extra should they choose, as well as <a href="http://luxury.rehabs.com/support-organizations/smart-recovery/" target="_blank">SMART Recovery</a> meetings.</p> <p>Programs draw from a range of evidence-based practices including <strong>cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT),</strong> dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), <strong>eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR),</strong> biofeedback, and <a href="http://summitmalibu.com/treatment-program/modalities/alpha-stim/" target="_blank">alpha stim</a> -- in which a small electric current is pulsed across the head to relieve depression, anxiety, insomnia, and other symptoms.
