Promises was the premier rehab center in Southern California for years.
It's where Lindsay Lohan went after several of her arrests and where Britney Spears stayed when she was released from her 51/50 hold. Charlie Sheen, Robert Downey Jr and Matthew Perry have also reportedly gotten help at the center.
But now the facility has been redone beautifully and is called the Cliffside Malibu.
DailyMail.com has a first look at the recent revamp after the property took a hit from the Woolsey wild fires of November 2018. The grand re-opening of the facility is on June 13.
Plenty of room to recover: The Cliffside Malibu has plenty of space for addicts looking to make a change in their life. The property was revamped after it suffered damage from the 2018 wildfires

The center is located near the Pacific Ocean, offering spectacular views. They promise 'unparalleled comfort and insurmountable service and attention.'
Cliffside Malibu is a treatment program that does not lock its doors and returns cell phones to patients after 72 hours of in-house sobriety.
According to CEO Richard Taite, Cliffside Malibu has treated 2,000 patients as of November 2014.
The new remodel is spectacular. The quarters are clean, with beige walls, stone tiles, wicker furniture and plenty of room to move around in.

Most rehab centers have small beds or bunk beds. At Cliffside there are private rooms with queen beds and nightstands. There are also private bathrooms with all the amenities, like a fancy hotel.
TVs are in the rooms and there is internet access.
There is even a rose garden: the beautiful Grandiflora Roses, Spanish Lavender and local wildflowers.
And there is a yoga studio as well as a massage facility.
A place to unwind: There is a common area for people to watch TV, use the internet or chat
A place to dine: The dining room has a wood table with comfortable chairs that has a nice view of the pool
Nice touched everywhere: There are fresh flowers, plants and earth tones to soothe

There is also plenty of outdoor space with a back yard, a swimming pool and hot tub that has a look at the panoramic ocean view.
A sun deck overlooks the pool and has lounge chairs. There is room for socializing, reading a book, sunbathing, and beyond that is a pretty meditation garden.
A gym has all the up to date equipment to work off stress.
The main dining room also has an ocean view and the meals are served buffet style for a range of choices from a private chef.
In the evenings and during other periods between treatment and scheduled activities, many Cliffside residents gravitate towards to the living room to watch TV, play games, and hang out with new friends.
Taite, the CEO of Clifside, was an addict himself for 20 years before getting clean.
He became professionally successful, then started Cliffside Malibu.
So he understands what patients need.
'If you had told me twenty years ago that I would one day get sober,' Taite told Forbes in 2012, 'marry an amazing woman who consistently inspires me to be a better man, have a child who is the love of my life, and become the founder of one of the leading addiction treatment centers in the world, I would have laughed in your face. Then I would have taken another hit of crack.'
