Understanding Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol abuse is a complex condition involving excessive and harmful use of alcohol, leading to negative consequences on various aspects of a person’s life. It can result in physical health issues such as liver damage, cardiovascular problems, and cognitive impairment.

“I became heavily addicted to opiates when I was 27 years old and got worse and worse over the following year. I deteriorate to a state to which my husband and parents could not ignore. After much research my parents told me they had found a place they were confident could help me. Knowing nothing about addiction and treatment and only knowing I wanted my life back I willingly went to Passages Malibu.
Immediately when I arrived I felt in my bones I was in a peaceful place where the great healing I was needing was going to take place. I felt so welcomed by every single person there!
My first night at Malibu I remember laying awake crying, I was beating my self up! How do I get my life back and live without opiates, my crutch. At the same time I was wondering how did I get to this point where I’m in rehab? I couldn’t believe this is where my choices had brought me.
As the days went on I worked with so many incredible therapists at Passages. I knew going in I had underlying trauma and a current life leading up to my drug use that I couldn’t deal with effectively.
At Passages I was really given the chance to clarify what I was dealing with and reframe things in a more accurate way, a way that was truly more authentic. Once that was settled I was given new coping mechanisms by all of my therapists that served me better and made it a no brainer to get rid of old coping mechanisms, opiates, that had destroyed and nearly taken my life.
The power Passages had given me to take back my life was incredible. When I left I knew that if I went back to opiates, or any drug, it would be a very conscious choice I was making. That left a lot of accountability on me, but was the truth.
That was back in ‘08! I have now been clean and sober for 11 years and am now 39 years old. After leaving Passages I have given little thought about my, old coping mechanism, drug use. It has not been difficult either, it never was, it has not been a part of my life for so long! I do give a lot of thought to my time at Passages and all the positive changes I made while there and the addiction I left there as well!
Thank you so much to Chris and Pax Prentiss and all my wonderful therapists. I know you all always believed I would be cured which gave me hope. I was never deprived of hope that I would be cured, and that’s just what happened!
I have created a life worth living, I have a career that I never dreamed of and I’m stronger than I ever believed I possible.
If anyone wants their life back and are looking for hope in getting better, I highly recommend Passages. If you want something bad enough, you’ll make it happen!” — Andrea N. Alumnus
