I have never met more caring people. It's not a rehab, it's an experience and if you have the ability to get treated here, you're one of the lucky ones. Patricia, Ross, Feilani, Britney, Katherine, Blair, and Nika, are among, not just the best people, but they actually care.

About Carrara Beach House
Carrara Malibu Beach House is located on one of the most coveted stretches of Southern California coastline, Broad Beach Road in Malibu, with gorgeous views from Point Dume to the Channel Islands and private beach access steps from the front door.
The property has six distinct private rooms, each named for iconic Malibu locations such as Paradise Cove, Carbon Beach, Malibu Colony, Point Dume, Hidden Hills, and Calabasas. Every room is designed with premium furnishings, calming color palettes, and high-end amenities such as big-screen TVs. The facility is dog-friendly, Joint Commission accredited, and licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services.
One of the most unique aspects of Carrara is the three spa services provided per week, which are included in each client’s stay.
Some of these services include aromatherapy, deep tissue massage, lymphatic drainage, sleep renewal, and stretch therapy massages; luxury facials developed in part by a Princeton-trained biologist; body scrubs; acupuncture; reiki; sound healing with gongs and singing bowls; cupping; full nail and hair services; and more.
The wellness program offers other ways to stay healthy and focused, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, two pools, private personal training, a steam room, infrared sauna, juice and smoothie bar, yoga sessions, hypnotherapy, private breathwork, crystal healing, and more. Private chef-prepared gourmet meals are served throughout the stay.
Rounding out the wellness offerings is the Transformation Mindset Program, a one-on-one session series focused on reprogramming the subconscious beliefs that contribute to addiction.
Science-backed treatments available here include medical detoxification, behavioral therapy, group counseling, and dual diagnosis treatment for individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions.
After completing residential treatment, clients move into the aftercare and alumni program, which is an extension of the recovery model focused on building positive routines, relapse prevention planning, and connection to a community of peers.

Reviews
From the moment I stepped into Carrara it felt different than every other time I've sought help. Their individualized attention was above anything I have experienced. Every member of the clinical staff is truly world class. I felt expertise every step of the way.
The icing on the cake was the Malibu beachside setting. It created a sense of calm and opened me up to make a real transformation possible. I left Carrara with more hope than I have felt in a long time.
I have been an Interventionist for 33 years. I find Carrara Treatment one of the very best treatment .
Everything is 5 star to me. The staff is excellent, it is truly a one on one approach.
If you are looking for the best luxury treatment center, please start with Carrara.

As a lifelong resident of Malibu I have seen many treatment centers come and go, many are fly by night operations with little professional efficacy. I have also know many people personally who have struggled with addiction for a long time and seen them come and go through multiple rehab centers without lasting results only to relapse again and again. The people I know who have ended up at Carrara were by far the best treated and most effectively treated for their addiction and reported it as a very positive experience. I recommend Carrara for anyone suffering from addiction problems, they are a first class professional provider and take a genuine interest in their patients.
I spent twenty-two years as a firefighter and never thought I would end up in a treatment center. A back injury needing spinal fusion from the job led to pain medication that started as medical necessity and soon became something I could not control. By the time I admitted I needed help, I had been dependent on opioids for over three years and my career, my health and my marriage were all at risk.
Carrara Malibu was the best decision I have made since joining the fire service. The medical detox was managed with a level of care I did not expect. The team monitored my withdrawal closely and adjusted the protocol based on how I was responding, not just a standard timeline. As someone who spent his career trusting my team to have my back, I trusted the team of medical staff provided at Carrara from day one.
After detox, the real work began. Individual therapy helped address the injury, chronic pain, and the identity crisis that comes when the job that defined me is also the thing that broke me. I learned healthy pain management strategies that do not involve narcotics. The holistic programming, fitness, yoga and the ocean helped me rebuild both physically and emotionally.
The Malibu setting gave me something I did not know I needed: peace, walking on Broad Beach after a hard therapy session became part of may routine and part of my healing journey. The food was amazing and the private accommodations gave me space to process without the pressure of a crowded institutional environment.
I completed my treatment program and I am now back at work, managing my pain without pills. Carrara gave me my career and life back. If you are a first responder dealing with an injury that turned into an addiction, this is the place that understands what you are going through.
Carrara and staff saved my life. My only issue is, I did not want to leave. The ocean, dolphins, and star gazing are incredible.
I plan on revisiting each year for a tune up and reality check. The location, accommodations, immediate access to nurses, physicians, chefs, physical trainer, are nothing less than 5 star concierge.
Let’s not forget about why I was here. I suffered from deep emotional trauma, and am forever grateful for the therapists. They truly shared various tools, and allowed me to transform my thinking toward a more joyful, kind and loving place. For this I am forever grateful. In closing the love, fellowship and support I received from other clients, has graced me with life long memories and friends. Thats all I got,
and I wish you well on your journey toward happy destiny. Dave kim
Sending a huge THANK YOU to the staff at Carrara Luxury Substance & Treatment. Nicky, does amazing breathwork. The therapist's are top notch. They are so caring, with attention to detail. They truly care. The facility is fantastic, and the views will take your breath away. I highly recommend, as it changed my life for the better
My 45 days at Carrara Treatment Wellness & Spa was truly special. From the moment you arrive, you feel the care and intention behind everything they do.
The food is incredible—Chef Ross creates meals that are both beautiful and genuinely nourishing.
I also loved Jordana’s mindfulness classes and Nicky’s breathwork sessions; both were grounding and gave me tools I still use.
The medical team is attentive and highly supportive, with consistent check-ins throughout the day to monitor vitals and overall well-being—you truly feel held and cared for. They also guided me through safely stepping away from long-term reliance on sleep medication during my stay, and I’m incredibly grateful for how thoughtfully that process was handled.
Being just steps away from the ocean adds such a relaxing and much needed element to each day. If you’re looking for a place that supports healing in a compassionate, individualized way (including for addiction), this is truly a special place.
