Rise in Malibu - Malibu, California

Gracie G.

This treatment center is truly exceptional—by far the best I’ve ever encountered. The level of care here is unmatched. From the moment you arrive, you are treated as an individual, with every need thoughtfully catered to. The staff is nothing short of incredible; each team member brings unmatched skills, experience, and dedication to their work.

The therapy is top-tier, and the variety of professionals you work with daily ensures a well-rounded, effective experience. It’s clear that every aspect of the treatment process is designed to support and guide you through your journey. The chefs are outstanding, and the quality of the food alone makes the experience even better.

The facility itself is pristine, and every detail is focused on providing the best possible environment for healing. I’m beyond grateful for the life-changing experience I’ve had here. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you’re seeking support, this is the place to be.

Rise saved my life- just about to celebrate 4 years of sobriety. I’m an AA thumper and I’m thankful everyday for my new life. Rise has great staff, programming, and facilities. They really woke me up to what my addiction was all about. Incredibly insightful and supportive. A wonderful foundation for success.

Just thinking about my time at Rise in Malibu fills me with overwhelming emotion. It was truly a life-changing experience. Every single member of the staff and every therapist I worked with was more than just skilled—they were compassionate, patient, insightful, and unwavering in their support. Their expertise and genuine care didn’t just help me—they saved my life.

Today, I am celebrating eight months of continuous sobriety, a milestone I couldn’t have reached without each and every one of you. You gave me hope when I had none and guided me with love and understanding through my darkest moments.

Beyond the healing, I found something even more profound—lifelong friends who feel like family. You’ve given me a new lease on life and a community I will cherish forever. Thank you for everything you do, for the lives you touch, and for the love you give so freely. I love you all with all my heart.

My experience at Mayberry Ranch was truly remarkable. From the moment I arrived, Ron and the entire staff made me feel incredibly welcome and at ease. I’ve never encountered such warmth, with strangers offering hugs upon arrival. Michelle, the case manager, was particularly outstanding—dedicating her personal time to help me plan my next steps after leaving Mayberry. The doctors were equally exceptional, demonstrating genuine care and attentiveness to my needs. I am incredibly grateful to have completed my treatment here.

I am writing this review to share my experience with Rise. I spent time helping a close family member vet several rehab facilities. Rise in Malibu stood out to me for how they offer individualized treatment plans for each client versus all clients being forced into receiving the same exact treatment that everyone else receives. They receive “1 on 1” sessions with Doctoral level mental health professionals multiple times per week.
They also receive private sessions with a psychiatrist, and group treatment/programming that are facilitated by a
wide range of professionals with extensive amounts of experience and expertise.
The facilities at Rise in Malibu were state-of-the-art.
Private en-suite Rooms.
They offered Massage Therapy, Reiki, a full gym, swimming, mindfulness/meditation and more.
The food is also top notch—The meals are made by a private chef.
I will end this review by saying that I feel that it’s unlikely to find
another treatment/rehab facility that offers all of these things under one umbrella.
Rise is Definitely The "Real Deal"

GREETINGS to those perusing my review 🙂 THIS IS VERY THOUROUGH.

- Background -- This was my 6th time attending an inpatient facility --
Honestly, it was an unexpecting gift from God that my journey even began in the direction of Rise. I began my research online and expecting to "shop" a few treatment centers knowing I needed to admit myself again. Rise was the first facility I contacted. First person I spoke with was a gentleman by the name of Ron via telephone... We began conversing (mind you, I have been in sales all my life so I'd like to say I've been around the block) and began having the a typical intro call dialogue about myself etc... Within minutes, Ron and I weren't talking about Rise, we were bonding and talking about ME. I could sense the care and empathy in his words and voice as we were speaking and we haven't even talked about the facility. I said "will you hold on so I can 3-way my wife?" and he said "absolutely"
Ron, my wife, and I talked for about 30 minutes regarding my family... I had idea where this place even was. Ron then told me a bit about the place and coordinated logistics, insurance, flights, etc. with Allison.
Fast-forward - Got logistics handled with a breeze.
Here's what blew my mind... Ron, the FIRST person I spoke with, was the OWNER of Rise.
I flew in from Houston, TX to LAX and was transported by a Rise team member to the facility. I was greeted with grace (of course I drank on the plane, and I knew the detox that was waiting for me the coming days) and did my intake. RON shows up, as he tries to for every new client when they arrive and before the discharge, to greet me and show me around the property. (I soon learned that Ron shows up every morning to muck the horses stalls instead of paying someone else to do it...)

As mentioned, I've been through alcohol detox before so I knew what was coming. The nurses and techs went above and beyond to make me as comfortable as possible almost to the point to where I was too pampered 😉
The entire staff from Drs, therapists, techs, house cleaners, chefs, horses, dogs, etc. were what made my 30 day home incredible. Especially being 1,500 miles away from my wife and 3 kids.

In MY experience... the programming, scheduling, therapy, Dr. specialized sessions and tech lead groups exceeded my expectations and I feel is going to save my life. Rise had me dig deeper into myself than I ever thought possible and discovered so many things I've pushed down for so long. I have hope and confidence today that I deserve a sober life.

I've been gone 3 days and I'm still hearing from and communicating with the staff and my new found family.

Just providing MY truth.

You're welcome for the novel 😉

Rise in Malibu is a great facility for a few reasons.
First off the accommodations are second to none.
The Private ensuite rooms along with the majestic Ocean Views were special.
The Private Chef and amenities were top notch.
But most importantly the Treatment Team and Staff are not only Tops in their field, but they are also "Human".
The Dr's and support staff know how to convey their knowledge in a way so it makes sense to you.
The reasons why a person chooses to Self Medicate is complicated.
Rise is able to make some sense of it all.
If you're ready, then this is the place to be.

When you're looking for a rehab for yourself or a family member you wish you could go to a rehab mall and see each one in action.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.

You basically got to go with your gut instinct.

I'm so glad that I chose Rise!!

So I don't have to go into details. I second what everyone else is saying about them.

Beautiful Healing Home with all the amenities.

More importantly,

Great Treatment Team and Staff, who are also fun to be around!

If you've already spoken with Rise, then your gut knows to go with them.

This is your right moment, and your right time!!
