The Impact Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center has been providing treatment for individuals struggling with substance abuse since 1969. Our non-profit facility is dedicated to helping self-pay clients as well as non-violent drug offenders through a partnership with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. Our treatment methods are 12-Step based and backed by proven clinical practices that are regularly updated and refined. At Impact, the majority of our counselors have personal experience in recovery, allowing them to provide clients with the unique encouragement, support, and guidance that fellow alcoholics and addicts can offer.
ABOUT IMPACT DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT CENTER
Located in Pasadena, CA, Impact Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center is a residential facility for adult men and women facing substance abuse issues. Our rehab facility accepts voluntary clients, and we also have two in-custody programs in partnership with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department. Through these programs, individuals convicted of drug-related offenses are given the opportunity to receive treatment at our rehab instead of going to prison. We offer non-medical detox which typically lasts three to five days.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Our treatment programs vary in length depending on each client’s needs and can be 30, 60, or 90 days long. We also offer an aftercare program for clients transitioning out of residential treatment. Additionally, we provide a long-term residential option lasting four to six months, as well as an intensive outpatient program (IOP).
At Impact, patients progress through three steps of treatment by achieving specific goals and milestones. Our treatment approach includes evidence-based methodologies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, individual counseling, group therapy, recovery-related reading and writing assignments, and on-site and community-based 12-step meetings. We offer various specialized groups to address issues such as anger management, chronic relapse, gender-specific concerns, parenting, food and weight issues, and grief and loss. We actively encourage our clients to participate in the surrounding recovery community.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
Our team at Impact consists of experienced clinicians, therapists, and program managers who have specialized training in co-occurring disorders, addictionology, cognitive behavior therapy, and social work.
