Casa is a 24-hour, non-medical substance abuse treatment program for women. Our programs emphasize abstinence from alcohol and/or other mind-altering substances and encourages the physical, mental and spiritual growth in the recovery process, while also addressing co-occurring disorders. Women 18 years of age or older (or emancipated minors) are provided with a safe, clean and sober environment to help them reach the goal of becoming alcohol and drug free.
Founded in 1967, Casa is the first recovery home in Pasadena to specifically cater to the unique needs of women struggling with substance dependence. We provide a non-judgmental, inviting setting where healing and self-exploration are nurtured. Casa serves women from many backgrounds and circumstances who are given the opportunity to regain the skills and confidence they need to live productive, healthy and meaningful lives.
Casa serves over 300 adult women per year of all ages, socio-economic, and ethnic backgrounds, who suffer from substance abuse disorders and addiction. Casa is an abstinence-based treatment program built around the concept that everyone within the therapeutic community contributes to creating a safe environment that generates the opportunity for recovery in each woman. Our individualized treatment plans and therapeutic approaches are adapted to meet the needs and situations of the individual woman, her family, and the group overall, and to address other issues which precipitated or are related to her substance abuse problem.
Mission:
