Why would a rehab turn away stars like Britney and Lindsay?

They were turned down because this exclusive and private drug rehabilitation facility, Cliffside Malibu, treats those who desire privacy while they learn how to achieve behavioral changes and find freedom from their addictions.

The facility's staff did not wish for the publicity and paparazzi coverage that these stars would bring to this exclusive and serene setting. They feared that distractions, such as the relentless drone of media helicopters, and the disruption that stars like Britney or Lindsay would bring, might negatively impact their treatment facility and residents.

Also, the team at Cliffside Malibu is not in the drug rehab business to turn a profit, as many others seem to be, by offering ineffective treatment programs and little-to-no follow up. While these other facilities may welcome the media attention, publicity and money that hosting star residents would bring in, Cliffside Malibu shies away from it. That's because this rehab focuses more on helping people recover than on making money.

Do the post-rehab actions of Britney and/or Lindsay lead you to believe that were ready for their treatments? We are all too familiar with what happened to these famous ladies following their numerous (and often short-lived) stints at various rehab facilities; they left before their programs were complete or relapsed when they returned to their lives outside the facilities. There was a lot of media attention, but few positive results for these stars.

Why Would Britney's and Lindsay's publicists' choose Cliffside Malibu?

The people who know Cliffside Malibu recognize it as the single most exclusive high-end drug and alcohol rehab facility on the planet. Another draw is its "location, location, location." Cliffside Malibu is located in Los Angeles County on two beautiful acres of real estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean. While still close to it all, the secluded location allows residents to recover while remaining well away from the stresses of traffic noise and other city distractions.

Had Britney or Lindsay been admitted, they would have had access to the same opulence and pampering to which they are accustomed, because luxury is a theme that runs deep at Cliffside Malibu. They could have enjoyed gourmet meals, spa treatments, Egyptian cotton sheets, turn down service, yoga classes, walks on the beach and more.

All these luxuries are offered to those receiving treatment at Cliffside Malibu because the team at Cliffside believes that residents should not be punished if they have an addiction, but that they should be able to work through their troubles in comfort and luxury. After all, overcoming addiction is hard enough on its own. That's why the well-developed and highly effective treatment programs at Cliffside Malibu are supplemented by the luxurious interior and natural, peaceful surroundings and privacy afforded by this unique environment.

Perhaps Lindsay and Britney's publicists hoped that the beautiful setting and effective treatment programs offered at Cliffside Malibu could be of assistance to their falling stars, but how could it help when others have failed?

How is Cliffside Malibu unique?

The team at Cliffside Malibu is genuinely on a mission to help people, and the owner has a personal stake in the matter. As a recovering addict, he knows how it feels to suffer the torment of addiction. He endured homelessness, along with the hopelessness that comes with being addicted.

Fortunately, he eventually found the help that he needed to get off drugs, but was disappointed by the lack of available follow- up programs. He was convinced that some alcohol rehabs thrive when their patients relapse, so he decided to give people the continuing help that they need by creating treatment options that actually work initially and for the long run. This desire to help others led him to create Cliffside Malibu.

The highly effective programs offered at Cliffside Malibu are all individualized to help each patient overcome his or her own personal addictions and co-existing troubles. Each resident's specific needs and challenges are identified, and then an adjustable program is implemented to help him or her learn to live a sober life. Extended care aids in future struggles as well.

Ultimately, recovering from an addiction is a tough, personal struggle that requires a desire to do so, along with a whole lot of effort. Cliffside Malibu provides its patients with the tools they need and the exclusive and luxurious environment to help the recovery process.

So - too bad, Britney and Lindsay. This rehab is for real. Keep the media hoopla far away, because people are recovering here.
