The PCH Pasadena Center provides sophisticated, comprehensive treatment of complex psychiatric disorders that require more structure and supervision than traditional residential or outpatient treatment settings. Clients that are appropriate for the Pasadena Center may be struggling with psychotic disorders such as Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, thought disorders or other severe psychological conditions.
The PCH Pasadena Center provides an attractive and contained healing environment while offering a broad range of psychosocial and biologically based services driven by a thorough evidenced-based evaluation of the client’s presenting problems. We identify co-occurring disorders that may complicate recovery and we define separate treatment approaches and integrate them into the broader bio-psycho-social-spiritual conceptualization of each client. We create highly individualized treatment plans using information provided by each member of the treatment team. We treat each person as a unique individual who seeks to improve their lives. We do not limit their identity to the clinical labels they arrive with.
