Meet the Passages Malibu Staff: Chris Prentiss

Meet the Passages Malibu Staff: Chris Prentiss – Chris Prentiss is the co-founder of Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura addiction treatment centers in California. His unique philosophy to treating drug and alcohol addiction is also outlined in his book, “The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure.” Prentiss, along with his son, co-founder and CEO Pax Prentiss, have truly revolutionized addiction treatment by believing that addiction is not a disease. Instead, it’s a symptom of an underlying condition that needs to be discovered and healed. In the wake of Passages Malibu’s 2001 debut (with Passages Ventura following in 2009), many other holistic, non-12 Step treatment centers have tried to copy what we do. But, Passages remains the industry leader in holistic, non-12 Step substance abuse treatment centers. At Passages, we believe in a cure. We believe in you.
