Inside Hollywood’s Most Luxurious Rehab Centers

The Controversial Luxuries Of The Renaissance

The Renaissance Malibu boasts a selection of therapy programs, including art therapy, equine-assisted therapy, group therapy, family therapy, adventure therapy, music therapy, somatic/dance therapy, sweat lodge ceremonies and Toltec teachings. At one point it was using the controversial Prometa protocol, which is a drug that supposedly is the first effective treatment for meth, coke and alcohol addiction, costing $15,000 for a one-month supply. It fell into more controversy when it was uncovered that owner Salvatore Petrucci isn’t actually an MD, but rather a dentist who lost his license because of his drug use and allegedly has purchased drugs for himself while running the facility.
