About Della Martin Center

The Della Martin Center at Huntington Hospital offers alcohol and drug rehab services for teenagers and adults in Pasadena, California. Their services include dual diagnosis care, case management, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and aftercare programs. They accept private insurance, self pay, Medicare, and Medicaid. Some clients may qualify for free care if they meet income criteria and don’t qualify for Medicaid.

Clients here receive a personalized evaluation and customized treatment plan before beginning any type of program. Their partial hospitalization program includes five days of individual and group therapy per week, and can also include holistic therapy, psychiatric care, and training sessions on emotional wellness. Clients meet regularly with their care team to check their progress. I thought it was smart that providers ask all clients to bring extra clothes and toiletries to their sessions, even if they’re just attending day treatments.

Their intensive outpatient program isn’t quite as rigorous. This program only requires three days of group and individual counseling per week. Clients may also receive physical therapy, emotional counseling, and trauma therapy. All alumni receive ongoing care, support, and community connections to help them maintain their recovery.

While some former clients agree that the staff members are generally caring and patient, one client noted difficulties with a specific clinic care partner. Others echoed this sentiment, sharing that the environment felt unsafe and they did not receive quality care while in the program.

Very terrible place. Some nurses are very rude, they don t let you finish the sentence on the phone and just hang up. When you call in the second time of the day, the lady said you call too many times and won t listen and just say no update and hang up. Also, they won t care much about the patients.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

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.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

One physician. Makes you prepay. A few thousand. You don t know If you ve used up the deposit.No receipt.No continuity of care if in IOP but need to go back.Discharges patients with prescriptions for drugs of abuse.He s in it for the money. Easy to talk to which is an illusion that he medically cares about his patients at all.

Abusive staff and a very unsafe feeling environment. You're here at your absolute bottom, yet if you dare to show ANY signs of being anything other than entirely happy and content you're threatened and ridiculed.Nobody. I repeat: NOBODY, should ever come here, or any place like it.~Massive tw: ptsd/depression/suicide.~Please keep in mind all of this was immediately after a friend talked me down from committing suicide, and I decided to admit myself; I didn't feel I could trust myself to not go through with it, and was still very unstable.The first day I was screamed at and borderline attacked by another patient with literally nobody doing anything to help. They watched and smiled with apathetic amusement, as I looked toward them for help, like it was a regular occurrence that was losing its entertainment value. Like seeing a fight break out between apes at a zoo. I was inconsolable, due to some of the awful things that were screamed in my face - I asked for help from the moment she targeted me and they did nothing. They were completely detached from the idea that I was a human being; I cannot put into words how exceedingly awful it felt to be treated that way.I was literally told verbatim to "dance, mokey" when asking for food, multiple times. I am not kidding. Not jovially - I was visibly uncomfortable, I wasn't laughing with them. I was still very much actively wanting to die at this point, which is something that would get much much worse as my stay progressed.Three staff members/nurses/whatever they want to call themselves cornered me by huddling around me in a circle against a wall. They Called me a drug addict (specifically: "So, what do you use? Coke? Heroin? I see those bumps on your arms." the bumps being eczema - information that was available in my records. Quote isn't exact, but close). I had never taken anything, or even dran, safe for trying weed once a couple weeks ago to try and help my insomnia. They pulled up all of my medical records, looking through them and commenting cynically at my various conditions and history, after verbatim calling me a "liar." Upon seeing my records were completely in line with what I was saying, they proceeded to mock me via stoner caricatures before finally leaving me alone.Later the same night (very late, when they assumed everyone was asleep - I didn't sleep my entire 5 days there), the only patient I felt safe enough to talk to couldn't remember if he took his medication or not, as one of the side effects of his medication was an amnestic effect, not dissimilar to what made Marilyn Monroe overdose. He simply wanted to know whether or not he took his medication, but was physically pushed back into his room without a word being spoken to him, being completely ignored; this happened three times. Hearing the neglect, I came out to try and do something, anything. The staff person that was "dealing" with him looked at me, gestured toward my friend who was scared and alone, and said "God, he's like a cockroach" with such hatred and venom it actually felt like a punch to the stomach.There were many, many other things that happened, to me and others, many worse things: that was all just the first night - but I'm running out of space. On top of all this, I was constantly truculently threatened with an extension on my imprisonment any time I had expressed any emotion other than happiness, I think because they knew the prospect terrified me. I had to fake a smile any time staff were looking at me... That might have been the worst part: the pretending. I came in looking for help, opening up for the first time, and came out being actively diagnosed with real, actual PTSD.I sincerely hope this place and all others like it burn to the ground. It is a broken, inhumane system where people in need are thrown away, imprisoned, and treated like animals. I am far worse off now than I was before admission, but know now to never seek help or talk about any of it. Thankfully I'm dying of multiple autoimmune diseases - there's nothing they can do, so it's only a matter of time now.

This place is terrible. They immediately pump you full of prescription meds to tranquilize you into a stupor to make their job easier. The "doctor" in charge spends five minutes per day with the patients and charges an exorbitant amount for the mediocre care given. We were charged $30,000.00 for a one week imprisonment... Avoid this house of horrors.

My father went in to HMH talking and walking. He was transferred to Della Martin and I was told he would leave there better than he went in. He came out drooling, incoherent, and unable to walk. Of course partly to blame are the doctors themselves for pretending they knew how to treat dementia and being absurdly confident enough to take our complete trust and then disappear - unreachable and unhelpful.
