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

Location

Accepted Insurance

Aegis Treatment Centers | Pasadena works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

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.

California's mental health and substance abuse rehabs provide dual-diagnosis treatment options for individuals looking to address co-occurring disorders. These programs are usually offered on either an inpatient or outpatient basis. You can usually expect a mental health assessment and personalized treatment plan, evidence-based therapies, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential therapies like equine therapy, skills groups, and counseling to simultaneously address both mental health and substance abuse and drastically increase your chances of long-term sobriety.

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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.

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 cl�nics 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..

I've been going to Aegis Pasadena for 5 years now, struggling to get clean off and on, so that part is my own doing. The rest is an honest review of their treatment policies.Aegis requires weekly 50 minute-long counseling sessions if your insurance will cover it. You max out at 6 take homes per year, no matter whether you have many more clean tests. They want you to come in to dose at least weekly. If you relapse, results can be punitive. On more than one occasion I've had half my take-homes restricted. Mistakes in the lab can happen, though it's rare. It did happen to me and the timing was sus. I'll leave it at that.Ginger, Neelam and Rachel are all sweet and kind. All the nurses are great. I've only been treated with the utmost of respect at the clinic. The counselors are hit and miss, and they seem to have a bit of a revolving door for them. Matthew is really cool and one of the best counselors I've had.
