Summit Malibu is a committed member of the professional addiction recovery community. We believe very strongly in assisting people in locating the addiction recovery resources that will best serve their needs.
Millions of Americans suffer from the effects of alcohol addiction and abuse, whether directly as an alcoholic or indirectly through a friend or family member. For years, substance addiction was not diagnosed or treated as the illness it is. As the attitude toward the disease shifted, treatment programs and their results improved greatly and many drug, alcohol and addictions recovery resource centers became available. This is critically important because drawing awareness to alcohol use disorders is the first step to a solution.
