About Aurora Las Encinas Hospital
Las Encinas Hospital is situated in Pasadena, California and is an acute psychiatric facility covering 25 acres. The campus includes three residential buildings with a total of 22 beds. Las Encinas provides a medically supervised detox on-site that typically lasts one week. Clients complete a psychiatric and psychological assessment, which helps the clinical team design a tailored treatment approach. During the stay, the center offers individual and group therapy, CBT, meditation and mindfulness, horticulture therapy, and a peer-led recovery book club. Cell phones and laptops are not permitted while clients are on campus. Las Encinas Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission.
The center also runs a Restore to Wellness Program for college students, aimed at supporting those dealing with mental health challenges or substance use concerns. Its long-term residential option, The Briar Program, is widely recognized for its focus on substance abuse recovery. Most PPO and HMO insurance plans are accepted, along with MediCare and MediCal depending on the specific program. Inpatient chemical dependency treatment is covered through MediCal or Medicare, while residential services do not accept those benefits. Las Encinas also offers self-pay options.
The Las Encinas grounds span 25 acres with landscaped lawns and gardens, and clients can participate in activities such as yoga, Tai Chi, volleyball, basketball, tennis, and swimming. Housing is available as private rooms for $42,000 per 30 days or shared rooms for $25,200 per 30 days. The program includes daily meetings for both Alcoholics Anonymous and Cocaine Anonymous.
