I stayed at Casa Maria about 5 years ago. It was okay. I liked it there sort of. I might want to go back. I may need somewhere to stay. I don't like the place where I am at. I might want to check with my case manager at Pacific clinics to see if I can go to Casa Maria. Thank ...
About Casa Maria Transitional Housing Program
The Casa Maria Transitional Housing Program helps women who need a place to live as they work on recovering from substance use disorders. They provide long term sober living facilities that are safe, structured and free from drugs and alcohol. I like that they also accept mothers with their children.
A Home Like Setting for Recovery in Pasadena
This facility is located in Pasadena, California which is a city known for its vibrant culture and arts. The home is located in North Central on a quiet residential street. Clients will have neighbors and live in a regular house that will help them get used to living back in traditional society. Many women come to Casa Maria after inpatient rehab.
The home is within easy walking distance to a stop for buses 31, 32 and 33. It is also minutes from Washington Park which has a gazebo and children’s play area.
Transitional Home for Women
The aim of transitional housing is to give residents an ideal balance between structure and accountability while giving them more freedom and autonomy than inpatient programs. It also helps women who are homeless or have unstable housing to have a safe and reliable place to live while they build the foundation of a stable home life.
In Casa Maria, residents typically attend work or school and also participate in recovery programming such as 12 step groups. Staff may perform random drug tests and set rules about curfews, visitors, chores and more. Women also pay rent but it’s designed to be affordable.
Housing for as Long as You Need It
One of the best things about this type of living arrangement is that you can stay as long as you choose. So long as you follow the rules and pay your rent, you are welcome to continue to live here.
Recovery for Californian Mothers
Women with young children are welcome here and they are placed in special bedrooms that have cribs or toddler beds. Appropriate furniture and other equipment is available for use.
Staff may also support mothers with getting access to parenting classes, childcare, and other services.
Latest Reviews
Casa taught me not only how to recover from addiction but also co occurring disorders like depression and anxiety. Their staff is always there for you and it’s where I was able to meet many friends who I still have in my life today. Thank god for Casa. It saved my life!
My Partner has been there for almost an entire month and made great progress in both their sobriety and self image. While they grew and learned, the staff members acted inappropriately. Valencia, one of the counselors, made inappropriate comments on my partners self harm scars in front of a large group and consistently ignored my partners pronouns. Several new residents have come and left within a day of being there during my partners forced stay. There was a UA test that came back positive for Adderall and the staff made them decide to either discharge, where they would have no where else to go, or stay an extra 30 days in residency and restart their sober date. Only days before they agreed to let them step down to sober living. Maribelle, one of the facilitators accused me of drugging them. When my partner fought back and asked to see the test, they suddenly flipped the script and the result was negative. They lied about my partners UA in order to keep them there longer. This place might help a lot depending on your own willingness to stay sober and grow, but the staff are ineffective at keeping the rules and make inappropriate comments to the residents. There was even one person there who evaded UA for an entire week because they were using drugs during the program and just said that they could not UA. Blackouts and rules are easily bent by both residents and facilitators. Be wary of Casa, staff have their favorites and they will even fabricate lab results to keep their favorites there longer.

Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Sober Living Homes Sober living homes in California offers an intermediate sober environment that has less structure than inpatient rehab but more than typical home environments. This makes it a good option for those who have concerns about transitioning back to the "real world" after treatment. Residents can typically live at the halfway house as long as they want, if they are willing to follow house rules. These may include a curfew, chores, and maintaining a job.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Clinical Services
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
