My experience at Amend was very positive!
I received excellent care from the clinical director Dr. Saro and therapists Elaina, and Danny. My case was complex and the clinical team supported me with exceptional skill, ease and deep care. I am forever grateful to the clinicians. I went on medication for the first time and I felt supported by the psychiatrist I was assigned to, I experienced easy access to the doctor throughout my stay.

My experience at Amend was very positive!
I received excellent care from the clinical director Dr. Saro and therapists Elaina, and Danny. My case was complex and the clinical team supported me with exceptional skill, ease and deep care. I am forever grateful to the clinicians. I went on medication for the first time and I felt supported by the psychiatrist I was assigned to, I experienced easy access to the doctor throughout my stay. I enjoyed connecting with other clients, that have now become a circle of support - I was so in need of. I appreciate the staff and chefs for their daily care. I enjoyed the esthetic of Malibu and access to the local beaches. I’m grateful to Francine who provides sound bath, somatic dance, and breath-work and Dylan for yoga that involved a lot of laughs and fun, as well Chris the trainer for helping me get motivated, and the 9X gym for providing a Saturday circuit workout. I am leaving feeling much better than when arrived, I leave with a heart of gratitude.

The staff were friendly and dressed professionally. The chefs were cordial and accommodating. There was easy access to many tranquil activities as well as fitness activities. The frequency of the individual therapy session was top notch up to 4 times a week plus weekly virtual visits with psychiatry and psychological testing. This type of clinical focus is rare. This is a great example of premium treatment.

Amend Treatment saved my life. And coming here was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I was in a horrible place mentally this past summer and was referred to inpatient treatment by my doctors. I was overwhelmed by the amount of treatment centers to choose from and how much of it my insurance would cover. When I had questions, the CEO (Zane) didn't hesitate to give me his personal cell number and answered every one of our (many) calls. He vowed to help us get insurance to pay as much a...

Amend Treatment saved my life. And coming here was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I was in a horrible place mentally this past summer and was referred to inpatient treatment by my doctors. I was overwhelmed by the amount of treatment centers to choose from and how much of it my insurance would cover. When I had questions, the CEO (Zane) didn't hesitate to give me his personal cell number and answered every one of our (many) calls. He vowed to help us get insurance to pay as much as possible and to advocate for me and my treatment (and he did). He was clear, honest, and truly believed Amend could help me. The staff was incredibly helpful and informative when preparing me for my stay and I felt a lot of peace about my decision because of that.
Upon arriving at Amend I was greeted by the staff at the airport and immediately felt at ease. Every person I spoke to was kind and genuinely excited to meet me and to welcome me to Amend. I cannot express how grateful I am for every member of the staff. My therapists were incredible. The clinical assistants became my family. Every external employee (art/music therapist, yoga instructor, personal trainer, etc.) was kind, gentle, and extremely talented at helping others. Even the chef took time to teach us how to play pickle ball one day and also made us whatever meal we wanted on our last night. They challenged me, comforted me, encouraged me, and listened to me every step of the way, and I could not have gotten to where I am now without them. I even cried on my last night over how much I would miss them and how close I'd become to them.
The facility is just as beautiful as the photos and videos. It was easy to relax and being able to be outside in the sun or doing yoga in the grass was just as healing as the actual therapy we were doing. Every single module offered was helpful and crucial to the success I had at Amend. The group therapy session and small size of the facility (only 6 patients at a time) allowed me to get really close to the fellow residents, some who I became incredibly good friends with. And those relationships were just as critical to my healing as the ones I had with employees. It also allowed for a customized experience for each resident's treatment, something that residents I spoke with who had attended other treatment centers said they had never had before.
Both my husband and sister visited me while at Amend and could not get over how much they loved the staff, and even said it made them want to do something like this for themselves, too. My husband said he immediately noticed a difference in my mood, behavior, and health when he visited, and said it was incredibly helpful to meet and participate in the activities that I was doing during that visit. He said that he was reassured about our decision for me to come to Amend because of what he saw when he was here.
I know that I do not speak for every person who has walked through the doors of Amend, nor do I believe that anyone else's review does not deserve to be taken into account and validated because my experience was different. It wasn't sunshine and rainbows, and I did have issues along the way with internal communication and how different events were handled. But nowhere is perfect, and overall I can say that my experience was overwhelmingly positive. And I would recommend Amend to any person who is even thinking of considering (although if you are struggling with addiction or substance abuse I would recommend going somewhere that does both as Amend's focus is mental health only. That's the reason I chose it, but that may not be the right choice for everyone).
I've attached some photos of things I did while at Amend. I'm happy to share my experience, but please do respect my privacy as this does deal with a very serious subject matter and my medical history. (in order: the gift basket we received upon arrival, an average lunch every day at Amend, horseback riding, surfing lessons, and a hike in Malibu.)

Wow! Amend has every detail covered! It is clear that they provide a superior level of quality in your loved one's treatment. The grounds are breathtaking, the staff goes above and beyond, and the support is unparalleled. They truly care about each and every client and it shows. As a mental health professional, this is the most impressive treatment center I have ever visited. The clinical staff is wonderful and highly skilled and offers an impressive program.

Very poor experience with a loved one here. They promised 8 weeks of aftercare, which we expected to be with a licensed healthcare professional, but they actually just meant a person they hired with no formal training would email you if you had questions. They sent the person home without 2 weeks of medication and/or follow-ups scheduled. They did not pick up the medications prescribed to that person in residential. They also assured that they would get money back from insurance, but did not ...

Very poor experience with a loved one here. They promised 8 weeks of aftercare, which we expected to be with a licensed healthcare professional, but they actually just meant a person they hired with no formal training would email you if you had questions. They sent the person home without 2 weeks of medication and/or follow-ups scheduled. They did not pick up the medications prescribed to that person in residential. They also assured that they would get money back from insurance, but did not help in this category and made client pay out of pocket for the whole stay even though they assured us they had "excellent insurance." Overall poor standard of care, would not recommend.

I met with Saro to learn about Amend and the services they offer. Amend is a residential mental health facility that offers comprehensive care covering all aspects of diagnosing and treatment. Clients receive one on one care in a gorgeous spa-like retreat setting. Each patient is wholly supported through therapy, diet, exercise, art etc. they all go hand in hand to hopefully lead to a long lasting positive outcome.

The care I received while at Amend Treatment Center amazing. The therapist were all so supportive in my care and pushing just enough. All the CA were also helpful if therapist had left or because they were with other clients to talk too. The chefs were also amazing and it did help because if left to me, I probably would’ve eaten.

Second facility was nice. Great view and beautiful garden. Sound bath was amazing. Therapy is good if you get the right people. Hopefully they fire Danny. Everyone else was very helpful and taught me a lot.
The food was ok. Some chefs were slacking.
All the rooms are the same price. Some people get the master bedroom with balcony and others get maids quarters and have to share a bathroom. The rooms are very comfortable just pricing doesn't make sense. Management was not good when I came but...

Use hot tub and go on horse. Would recommend
