The first thing you might notice when searching online and finding Seasons in Malibu drug rehab is the beauty of our site, its accommodations, and our Malibu, California surroundings.
Why Malibu, California? Because Natural Beauty Is Therapeutic
Taking in nature’s scenic beauty supports addiction rehabilitation by refreshing the mind. A decade ago, Dutch researchers found lower occurrences of depression and anxiety in people living near open, natural spaces. Fewer stress hormones move through the blood when a person has access to open, natural space.
This is why some countries’ governments promote spending time in natural surroundings as public policy:
- The rates of addiction and depression are very high in Finland. The Finnish government has funded studies leading to recommended minimum doses of nature time.
- South Korea’s government funds nature healing for bullied children, for firefighters diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, and for people dependent on alcohol.
At Seasons in Malibu, our clients enjoy healing, natural surroundings every day.
Nature’s Beauty Soothes the Brain With No Side Effects
Research shows that people looking at urban scenes have more blood flowing to the amygdala, a part of the brain that processes anxiety. In MRI studies, natural scenes light up the insula and anterior cingulate, which correlate to positive social connections.
The part of the brain’s prefrontal cortex that connects with depressive, negative emotions loses sway after time in nature.
The soft, soothing beauty of the Malibu coast supports our clients’ mission. At Seasons in Malibu, we are glad to offer our tranquil space to clients not simply because researchers have found it affects our brains, but because of the way it makes clients feel.
In a Room With a Healing View
People who see natural views rather than metal and concrete through their windows have quicker recoveries in hospitals. Researchers have recorded stress hormone levels, sweating, breathing and heartbeat rates and found that doses of simply looking at natural scenes can calm us physically.
The scenery’s restorative power does its work whether or not we are out walking in nature.
Seasons’ Malibu drug addiction recovery programs receive a wonderful boost from our setting and the beauty of our accommodations. This is just one reason people come to us from throughout North America and beyond.
