I've struggled with opioids, I got in to Aegis treatment center in Pasadena and I can tell you that the staff is Great and awesome. I've been going to Aegis since 2016 and have been opiate free, and as the staff is very flexible friendly and the most important they have no judgment and have compassion. They are fast efficient clean offices and monthly counseling and you can even see the doctor when necessary. I really want to recommend Aegis for your total rehabilitation. I recently had an issue with my coverage and almost was going to lose my methadone treatment and was going crazy, but I called the office and spoke to office manager Jabari and Nelam said calm down will take care of it, and so they got involved and the billing department as well and fixed everything. And thanks to the great service everyone there deserves a 100% shout-out to all the staff from receptionist to administration and dispensing nurses, also the counselors and Dr as well because they all work in unison together to give you the best outcome for your treatment. Just do and follow the program, it works if you work it, then it's Worth it. At Aegis you are not alone!!!! I recommend Aegis treatment centers anytime.Thank you Aegis Pasadena for all you do.Sincerely Dante Ortiz

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.

Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

I would like to thank all of the Wonder staff at Aegis Pasadena, they have helped me in so many ways!First off I would like to thank Susan (hopefully spelling her name correctly) who was the main manager, there when I got there 10 years ago- because if it literally wasn't for her, I would possibly still be out in the streets or worse.idk if she knows this but she literally changed my life that day.I came at a bad time that day of intake and I wouldn't have been able to dose then because of me coming so late from taking 3 buses to get there, So I was basically going to "check out" and go back to the streets to my addiction and possibly never come back again after I realized I wasn't going to be able to dose then.To make a long story short - I was able to go to the El Monte Clinic that day and dose there and come back to the Pasadena clinicSo I'm forever thankful to Susan for that day!also for all the chances you gave me! Thank you Susan once again For all your help in my journey!I also want to thank Neelam, for bringing light and smiles to Aegis, especially when places like these can get "dark" at times because of where us patients are coming from. So thank you Neelam!!! Thank you to all my counselors Jessica & Nadia and the rest I've had there - thank you as well!Because of you guys I actually like counseling now lol unlike other places outside of there that I didn't like lol. So You guys made me feel comfortable and actually listened and helped me in so many ways thanks you!Jabari the manager there - thank you man!I wanted to say that (Jabari) didn't make me feel like just another "number" there. He TRULY cares and has tons of wisdom, and is compassionate as well, he truly wants the best for us as they all do there!I've been to other clinics and let me tell you guys that this is by far the BEST one I've been too! I highly recommend it if you know or have anyone that's out there!! I will forever recommend this place to the people that want to get clean and change their life around, this is the place! Give them a call!Wish you guys all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you guys!

I ve been coming to Aegis in Pasadena for over a year now with my Husband, and truly I wish I could give 100 stars! We moved back to LA from Hawaii a little over a year ago and from the moment I did my research on Methadone clinics in the LA area and found Aegis, I made the first call and spoke with Neelam, who was SOOO kind and helpful on our initial first call, she told us exactly what we would need to bring in from our clinic in HI that we were transferring from to make our transfer to Aegis as easy and smooth as possible. I m a Healthcare Provider as well, and even though there s a couple other decent Methadone clļæ½nics in the LA area, the moment I found Aegis online and read the reviews, did my research and of course made that first call..I knew that Aegis Pasadena was going to be the one for us. They truly make the transition so easy for you. Staying clean is hard enough, but everyone at Aegis makes it so easy to STAY CLEAN! From the good vibes and energy of our first time walking into the clinic, to meeting with the physicians, all of the AMAZING nurses (Ginger) and of course Jabari! Everyone here is so kind, helpful, understanding, and truly is a huge part of the reason my Husband and I are 2+ years clean and sober now! We do counseling with our seperate counselors monthly which honestly, the fact they offer that is such a great reason to choose Aegis. They truly care about you and care about you staying Clean and Sober. We both absolutely LOVE our counselors and we actually really enjoy coming in to see everyone, and even though we moved and there s a closer facility to our new home, we will never switch because Aegis Pasadena is home to us. THANK YOU so much to everyone that has played a part in our Recovery, Aegis in Pasadena has truly helped change our lives and will always offer a helping hand when you need it and welcome you in with a smile. If you are reading this, YOU GOT THIS!

The so called Doctor is not a good person much less a doctor. And I'm filling a complaint against him for not following his own clinics grievance reporting policy. I believe it's just another case of a man, (who is also a doctor) feeling threatened when a woman wants to make informed decisions and ask questions. I did and he felt as if i was challenging his authority and went ballistic. Not a great bed side manner to put it very lightly, and to be truthful (which i always try to be at this point in my life, at least whenever possible) well he flat out made me feel uncomfortable and scared to be in the room alone with him. I wont be going back there ever..
