Carrara Treatment is a luxury addiction and mental health center in Malibu, California founded by Richard Taite (previously founded Cliffside Malibu). Offers medical detox and residential care blending clinical modalities with integrative wellness. Distinguished by integration of IFS therapy and somatic trauma therapy alongside conventional approaches. Small-census, high-staff-ratio model with deeply individualized treatment.
Best for
High-functioning adults who want clinically sophisticated depth work (IFS, somatic) integrated into addiction recovery rather than standard group-heavy rehab.
Modalities
Depth elements
Integrates Internal Family Systems therapy and somatic trauma therapy as core clinical modalities, not luxury add-ons. IFS — developed by Richard Schwartz — works with internal 'parts' carrying unconscious burdens from trauma. Combined with somatic trauma processing and neurofeedback, addresses addiction at the level of internal system dynamics and nervous system regulation rather than behavioral compliance.
