The word, alo, comes
from Latin, and means
to nourish, support,
and strengthen. No
other name could better
fit with their mission
of being on the
cutting-edge of the
compassionate care
model of addiction
treatment.
Their progressive
approach to treatment
has everyone
feeling the difference
the moment they step
onto their property.
Alo House shares the
public’s criticism of
modern addiction
treatment, and of the
Malibu Model in particular,
so everything
they do is meant to
address these issues,
and provide fresh, evidence-based
solutions
to them.
Alo House offers a
holistic, integrative
approach to healing.
Rather than subscribing
to the ‘disease
concept’ of addiction,
which can tend to reduce
people to their
diagnoses, they address
the ‘whole person.’
Each client has
a unique story. They
provide care using an
intensive, big-hearted
style of care, which
helps them to get to
know, and to properly
treat each client.
Alo House boasts
over a one-to-one staffto-client
ratio – one
of the highest in the
industry. They understand
what makes a
treatment center great
– the people who work
there. Their skilled
and passionate staff
is the most important
ingredient to their success.
Each of their staff
have been hand-picked
for their unique ability
to reach and engage
with their clients. This
is what creates change
– the magical moments
of connection and
transformation that
occur between clients
and staff, ones that
their clients will remember
forever. Carrying
out this shared
vision is what keeps
them showing up every
day, and is why they
love doing what they
do. Together, they are
on a mission to change
the face of treatment,
and to bring it into the
current age. This vision
and their whole
philosophy is summed
up by their manifesto,
which you can read at

our-manifesto/.
