One counselor, with you from the first call.

What to Expect

Your admissions counselor will stay with you from that first phone call through your arrival here. They will:

• Explain the fee structure of treatment and policies of payment and insurance support
• Help you arrange transportation to Seasons and any assistance in transport
• Describe what to bring with you and what to leave at home
• Answer any other questions you may have

Upon arrival, your admissions counselor will personally greet you and assist you through the initial intake process. Accompanying them will be one of our skilled and compassionate client advocates, who will give you an orientation, provide the materials required for your treatment program and explain your schedule while in treatment.

Your First Days at The Cottage

We’d be happy to show you our facility, which overlooks Matador Beach, one of Malibu’s most beautiful beaches. Throughout your stay, our staff will make sure you get what you need and that your treatment is flawlessly executed. Your client advocates will help get you settled into your room and are available 24/7. You will never be without a way to ask for help or get your questions answered during your time with us.

Within a short time after arrival, you will have a medical assessment done by one of our medical doctors. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, you may be resting more during the first few days. It is our intention to get you up and moving through treatment as quickly and comfortably as possible, but we want you to take whatever rest you need first.

When you experience your first meal at The Cottage, you will discover another of our differences from other residential treatment centers: the quality of the food, and the attention to taste, freshness and health our experienced chefs give to each meal. Between meals there are plenty of fruits, snacks and drinks to keep you hydrated, focused and healthy.

All the while, a treatment team of doctors, psychologists and specialists will be meeting frequently to focus on your individual treatment program, constantly honing and fine-tuning it for maximum effectiveness so you get the most out of your time here.
