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, home-like environment 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 adult women 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.
