Of seven alumni polled to date by Rehabs.com, three noted the facility’s expense, but two of these indicated clearly that it was worth the cost. </p> <p>Reviewers tended to highlight the program’s effectiveness, accommodations and location, and staff as strengths. The one alum polled on the matters gave perfect five-star ratings for the staff's experience, holistic offerings, and discharge planning. However, one former client reported receiving inadequate counseling for a dual diagnosis**; two Yelp reviews echoed this experience.</p> <p>While the nine alumni reviews on Yelp reflected more polarized perspectives, feedback tended to focus on similar factors. Positive alumni <strong>praised the clinical staff and treatment as professional and individualized</strong>, along with the “beautiful, serene, and peaceful” location, as one representative review wrote. Criticism mostly centered on cost.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> "I stayed at The Canyon for 45 days about a year ago. I am proud to say that I am writing this review sober," alum Mike wrote.</p> <p>On the facility’s official Facebook page, which its staff may monitor, The Canyon had an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars, based on the opinion of 33 people. While one concurred with a Yelp reviewer that their experience was not what had been advertised, comments tended to <strong>characterize the program as life-saving</strong>. Opportunities for alumni involvement were also highlighted.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The two loved ones polled by Rehabs.com would recommend The Canyon at Peace Park. They each gave five out of five stars for family participation (which the one alum polled on this metric also granted). Reviewers cited the support their loved ones received for developing healthy lifestyles as a facility strength.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The Canyon Treatment Center accepts major insurance company plans. The two individuals polled by Rehabs.com on treatment affordability gave two and three stars apiece, in otherwise positive reviews.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thecanyon/posts/10156425476244823" target="_blank">According to the facility’s Facebook page</a> at the time of this writing, The Canyon Treatment Center’s property at Peace Park was affected, without extreme damage, by the November 2018 wildfire in Malibu. Clients and staff were safely evacuated and receiving care at alternative spaces. The rehab center was expected to return to its main site.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-canyon-malibu-4" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-canyon-malibu-4</a>](https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-canyon-malibu-4](https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-canyon-malibu-4))</small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/thecanyon/reviews/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/thecanyon/reviews/</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=the+canyon+treatment+center+malibu&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS725US725&oq=the+canyon+treatment+center+malibu&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l2j0j69i64l2.7696j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x80e822668db00c5b:0x3cbea72d90477fc6,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p>
