Cliffside Malibu is a drug rehabilitation center in Malibu, California. It is notable for being frequently used by celebrities including Lindsay Lohan and Ty Lawson when they have been sentenced to rehabilitation.

CEO Richard Taite had originally bought a house in Malibu to retire, but he said he decided to build a sober living facility there instead, "to give back." Taite had previously overcome his own addiction to crack cocaine.

Addiction treatment

Cliffside Malibu is a treatment program that does not lock its doors and returns cell phones to patients after 72 hours of in-house sobriety. According to CEO Richard Taite, Cliffside Malibu has treated 2,000 patients and on average, a year after leaving there is a 70 percent chance of being sober.

According to Taite, a former addict, "In the beginning, I was only one step ahead of my clients; I was doing two hours of therapy a day myself. When Taite started his sober-living home, he started with six beds; as of 2014, that had grown to 108 beds at Cliffside Malibu. Between 40 and 45 percent of Cliffside Malibu's patients were addicted to prescription drugs when it opened as a licensed facility in 2005, according to Taite. He said that statistic is now around 80 percent. During a discussion about the medical crisis of high rates of opiate addiction in the United States on a May 2016 episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, Taite said that number is now as high as 90 percent.

Treatment at Cliffside Malibu is more costly than the average facility. Patients pay up to $80,000 a month for treatment. The center provides organic food and luxury-hotel amenities, including a heated pool and turndown service.

Dr. Constance Scharff, Cliffside Malibu director of addiction research told Culture Counter Magazine "The disease of addiction is not different for celebrities, however they are more acutely impacted by substance abuse" but that Cliffside follows the same procedure regardless of the patient. Cliffside Malibu assigns each patient a dedicated therapist to aid in identifying underlying issues that caused their addiction. The facility also uses Orthomolecular medicine.
