“Pasadena gave me a life changing experience. The entire staff itself all the way down to the maintenance team creates a relationship with you during your time here. The groups are so inclusive and diverse, the therapist and clinical team always has their doors open so you can go to anyone to talk, and the medical team is so reactive to how you want to be treated/medicated. The Residential Treatment Center felt so at home and was comforting the moment I walked in. It was like being in an oversized home with your own backyard and facilities. There is an entire program you can go through and they truly want what is best for your treatment and are so accommodating. Pasadena Villa saved my life and I'm grateful for their program and the staff.”
