Alternative Treatment Methods Highlight Effectiveness of Sunset Malibu Depression Treatment Program
Clinical depression is a condition that many people suffer silently. Still others try to brave their way through it. They deny that they have a problem, even when it’s obvious to everyone but themselves.
Then, there is that group of depression sufferers that decides to do something about it. They seek help from trusted doctors and hospitals – usually with less than permanent results.
However, a growing number of patients are discovering a lasting, completely effective way to overcome clinical depression at Sunset Malibu. As the name implies, this picturesque California treatment center is located on a two-acre estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean; its proven depression treatment program boasts a success rate many times larger than even the most revered standard treatment methods. Finally, sufferers of depression and their families finally have hope for a complete and lasting recovery.
Sunset Malibu’s highly experienced staff has researched virtually every aspect of clinical depression. Based on their knowledge of the disease, they developed a treatment program specifically targeted at the underlying causes of depression.
“We encourage our patients to play an active role in their depression recovery,” Richard Taite, founder of Sunset Malibu, said. “Because only a patient who wants to be healed will ultimately be cured.”
Taite added that the Sunset Malibu depression treatment program includes both physical and psychological aspects. It is highly personalized to address the needs of each patient.
The difference starts at the door
From the moment a depression sufferer enters Sunset Malibu for treatment, they are treated with the utmost care and respect. Each patient is assigned a primary therapist who works with them throughout the treatment period. The therapist decides which methods of treatment are best for each patient, adjusting these approaches when necessary.

Why Sunset Malibu Works
Overcoming depression is not something that most people can do alone. They need the support of friends, family, and the caregivers long after they leave the facility. So Sunset Malibu offers family counseling programs as well as after-care programs for all alumni. This helps to ensure that patients not only leave feeling great, but remain feeling that way for the rest of their lives.

Here are just samples of the thousands of letters that Sunset Malibu has received from past depression patients:
“I had begun to think that no one understood depression until I sought treatment at Sunset Malibu. Actually, I don’t think I understood depression until that point either. From my perspective, I was tired all the time, didn’t really care about things and would rather spend my days sleeping than getting up and getting dressed or going to work. Apparently my friends found me irritable, moody and lazy. They kept bugging me to get my act together, or just smile –like smiling would actually make everything better. The counselor I spoke to at Sunset Malibu quickly concluded that I was suffering from clinical depression. Follow-up assessments confirmed that diagnosis, so I went into the depression treatment program. Therapy went very well. The staff was all extremely supportive. For some reason I found the horseback riding especially therapeutic, even though I had never gone horseback riding before in my life. I was worried that the counseling sessions with my family would be weird, but it turned out to be really informative- they’re now a great support group to me. You have a great team in the depression treatment center and a lovely residence. Thanks for helping me through a rough patch.” – Name Withheld
“I think your help line likely saved my life one night. I’m the poster child for clinical depression. And I’ve been treated for it several times in the past, but nothing seemed to help. I hit a real low one night, the kind of low that can end really badly, if you know what I mean. I thought about just chugging a whole bottle of sleeping pills and going to sleep, but someone had taped a note with your telephone number on the medicine cabinet. I’m not sure why I called, but the counselor I spoke to talked me out of doing anything stupid, and immediately put me through to a therapist. I ended up checking in to Sunset Malibu the next day, but if you didn’t have that help line available, I might have checked out that night instead.” – Name Withheld
