Pillars Recovery Review
A family business founded by two recovering addicts in 2015, Pillars Recovery has two locations in Southern California. Offering inpatient treatment with an emphasis on dual diagnosis support, Pillars is set along the coast at Corona Del Mar and Malibu—two serene beachside towns.
Accommodations and Food
The Corona Del Mar location provides residential services for men. It is located steps from the ocean, on a quiet, palm-tree lined block. There is a maximum occupancy of six, with two men to each room. The common room, private porch and deck areas are available for use, with reclining leather couches and large screen TV. While there is no on-site gym, membership to the local Equinox gym is provided, as is a ping-pong table.
Smoking is allowed, as are cellphones and laptops. A laundry service is provided, as is airport pick up and chaperoned transport to either facility. Supervised trips to the grocery store are offered to help teach clients to make nutritious food choices, and to manage finances. A chef prepares all meals daily, and can cater to specific dietary needs.
The second Pillars Recovery location, set to open in October 2015, is atop the Malibu hills and will provide treatment to women in its estate-like setting.
Treatment and Staff
Upon arrival at Pillars Recovery, the client will receive a physical and psychiatric evaluation and an individualized treatment plan will be suggested. Medically-supervised detox is offered on-site if required. Individual therapy sessions are offered twice a week with the assigned case manager. Over 30 hours of group therapy is offered each week, with topics to address healthy relationships and boundaries, relapse prevention and introduction to 12-step programs. Dual diagnosis support from a psychiatrist is offered for those with co-occurring disorders. Family counseling is offered twice a week with an MFT. Therapeutic massages and nutritional knowledge sessions round out the holistic approach to recovery.
Nursing staff is present 24/7 to monitor clients, and there are two or three additional staff present during the day. Licensed, professional staff includes Registered Nurses, Registered Practical Nurses, a doctor, psychiatrist and CADCs.
Extras
Recreational activities include day trips to Catalina Island, whale watching, paddle boarding, surfing, jet skiing and biking and hiking along the coast. Guided meditation is offered weekly on the beach, as are movie nights, art therapy, guided theme park and zoo trips, yoga and Pilates.
The aftercare program consists of assisting clients with finding transitional housing if needed, and by offering continued counseling services.
In Summary
Pillars Recovery offers a range of activities and recovery modalities with luxury amenities. The setting is beautifully serene and allows clients to be free of distractions while they focus on their recovery. The sheer amount of therapy offered is great for clients that need to completely reset in order to tackle their substance abuse problems. Although the price is exclusive, Pillars provides the staff and resources for those seeking a highly structured, immersive recovery experience.
