What Malibu rehab costs, program by program.
The short version
A month of luxury rehab in Malibu runs approximately $90,000 to $130,000 at the six-guest tier, and two programs on the coast give you a number you can hold: Amend Malibu, at $90,000 for a 30-day stay (confirmed to this directory), and Rise in Malibu, at $90,000 for 30-plus days (published on its own site). Reported figures for the rest run from about $70,000 to $165,000 a month, and several programs quote on inquiry instead — Passages Malibu among them, whose own cost page says it cannot disclose specific costs, and for whom the only third-party estimate available is about $95,000 a month.

Ask five Malibu admissions teams what a month costs and you will get one number, two ranges, and two versions of “it depends.”
That experience is so universal that we built this page around it. Below is every price we could verify for Malibu’s luxury residential programs, sorted honestly: rates the programs publish themselves, figures reported by credible third parties with dates attached, and the programs that keep the number private. Where a figure is an estimate, it says so.

| Amend Malibu | From $90,000 / 30 days | Program-confirmed to this directory, August 2026.10 PPO out-of-network benefits can offset.9 |

Reported figures, attributed
| Center | Published cost | Source and caveats |
|---|---|---|
| Seasons in Malibu | $69,500–$129,000 / month | Facility-supplied range on its Psychology Today listing.2 |
| Carrara Malibu Beach House | Up to $165,000 / month (reported) | Top room rate reported by the LA Business Journal, May 2024, operator-wide across three houses rather than a Malibu base rate.3 |

Behind the number
Why a month here costs what it costs.
The price is mostly staffing arithmetic. A six-guest house carries a full clinical team (psychiatrist, licensed therapists, medical and support staff, a chef) for a handful of people, and the therapy is delivered one-on-one rather than in groups of thirty. Add a private Malibu property and the arithmetic lands where the table shows. The honest comparison for the money is between intake sizes, and our ranking of Malibu’s most private programs lays that comparison out.
Insurance carries real weight at this tier. Most of these programs work with PPO plans that include out-of-network benefits, and verification happens before any commitment. Our guide to which luxury rehabs take insurance covers how the billing actually works, center by center, and which Malibu programs take insurance narrows it to this stretch of coast.
Three questions tend to arrive with the price. What Passages Malibu costs takes the program families ask about most and gets as close to a number as the sources allow. Couples who want to go together can read how couples are actually admitted in Malibu, which is usually separately, with joint therapy alongside. And for anyone bringing a dog, the houses that allow a pet are a short list worth having before you call.
For some families the real question underneath the number is where, not how much. The other coastline that comes up is Hawaii, where the distance is part of what the stay is for: far enough that the phone stops ringing, small enough that a program holds a handful of people at a time. What a month there runs, and which programs sit at that tier, is laid out in our guide to Hawaii rehab cost and the Hawaii directory.

If you searched a program by name
Same coast, same money, different admission.
Most people reach this page having typed one program’s name and the word cost. It is a reasonable way to start, and it answers a narrower question than the one you are actually asking. Two programs on this coast can charge within a few thousand dollars of each other and admit for entirely different reasons: one built around substance use, the next around the depression or the trauma itself. The rate tells you almost nothing about which of those you are buying.
So it is worth knowing what the admission says. Malibu’s best-known names are addiction programs, and they are good at that work. If what brought you here is depression, bipolar, complex trauma or a personality disorder as the reason itself, the shorter list is programs that admit for it directly. Amend Malibu is the one in these tables we catalogue: $90,000 for 30 days, published rather than quoted on request, across two houses of six with board-certified psychiatrist and medical director Dr. Robert Feeley leading care, Joint Commission accredited. It is the same order of money as the programs you were pricing, spent on a different clinical question.
And if substance use is the first problem, that is a different shortlist and we will say so. Our Malibu directory carries the programs built for it.
If you are weighing what a month at two or three of these programs would mean for your situation and your budget, . We are reachable in confidence, and we will tell you honestly which program fits, including when the answer is a less expensive one.
