Elijah's House Pasadena

Elijah's House Pasadena is a compact residential rehab program in California for men and women facing alcohol or drug problems together with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. With room for just a handful of residents, the team can build a plan around one person instead of pushing everyone along an identical schedule. That kind of breathing room may be harder to find when you call a larger facility.

On the clinical side, the program draws on evidence-based practice plus holistic supports, setting counseling beside mindfulness, art work, and time outdoors. Treatment is built to address substance use and mental health together, which matters for anyone with a dual diagnosis, since treating one while ignoring the other often undoes progress. Family sessions and Twelve Step facilitation round out the week.

This home occupies a peaceful residential corner of Pasadena, close to the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and only a few minutes by car from the Rose Bowl. Between sessions, residents can step out into gardens, follow walking paths, or settle into an outdoor lounge for a breather. Families considering a first treatment placement often find that unhurried atmosphere appealing, and it tends to draw them toward a smaller program.

If you are calling about a spouse, adult child, or sibling, it helps to know what this center is and is not. It is not a hospital, and it is not the helpline. The helpline is free and private, connecting callers with licensed treatment providers through trained advisors; whatever comes next is up to you, and nothing is booked or charged in your name.

Elijah's House Pasadena care levels

Elijah's House offers detox, residential rehab, outpatient care, plus substance use and treatment for mental health needs, so a person can begin with withdrawal support and step down after stabilizing. A California detox and residential rehab with typical 30-day stays means the plan usually starts with medical monitoring. When someone drinks heavily or takes benzodiazepines every day, clinical supervision should guide the withdrawal, because either can cause seizures and other dangerous reactions.

Listed therapies include group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, sessions with a clinical psychologist, mindfulness, individual counseling, Twelve Step facilitation, family therapy, and relapse prevention counseling. Art therapy is offered as well. If your family member has a dual diagnosis, ask how the mental health piece is woven into the same schedule rather than sent out as a separate referral.

Elijah's House Pasadena outpatient programs and detox for Los Angeles area families give a lower-intensity option for someone who has already completed residential care or who cannot step away from home for a month. Level of care should follow the assessment, not the other way around. If the clinician recommends outpatient first, then the cost and the time commitment look very different from a residential stay.

Rooms, amenities, and time in care

The center sits at 1617 Asbury Drive in Pasadena, California, in a house of 6-15 beds, with a typical 30-day stay and services in English. A small Pasadena recovery house with gardens and trails near Los Angeles describes the grounds: a basketball court, an outdoor lounge, nature close by, and home-style dining. Rooms have air conditioning and can be private or shared, so ask what is available for your dates. Given the small bed count, if your family member needs a private room, confirm that before making other plans. Listed activities include AA and NA meetings, movies, and time outdoors.

Paying for treatment for Elijah's House

Cash pay rates appear as the stated payment option, and insurance should be checked by phone before anyone relies on coverage. Call the helpline to check insurance for Los Angeles rehabs and to weigh what this center offers against other California programs.

Dialing costs nothing and stays private, and nobody gets enrolled in anything by calling.
