The Gooden Center Information

The Gooden Center, located in Pasadena, California, offers men complete treatment for dual diagnoses, mental health issues, and drug use disorders. An Episcopal bishop and five members of Alcoholics Anonymous founded it in 1962, and since then, it has expanded from a tiny, encouraging group to a respectable treatment center that now helps thousands of people. The Gooden Center provides a comfortable, homey setting that makes it a secure and encouraging place for those going through rehabilitation.

The Gooden Center's programs serve clients at all phases of their recovery process by providing a comprehensive continuum of treatment, which includes residential, day programs, intensive outpatient services, and sober living. This adaptable strategy enables people to seamlessly transition between different care levels while maintaining ties to a network of support. They use a combination of holistic and evidence-based therapies, including 12-Step programs, yoga, meditation, family-inclusive programming, and individual therapy. Building healthy coping strategies, impulse control, and communication skills—all crucial for sustained recovery—are the main goals of these treatments.

Addressing addiction as a family illness, the Gooden Center's Family Treatment Program is a fundamental component of its philosophy. Families may engage on healing and comprehending addiction patterns together via individual sessions, quarterly family days, multifamily group activities, and sporadic retreats. A common foundation of recovery and support may be established between clients and their loved ones via this program, which is essential for long-term sobriety.

Another essential element of the Gooden Center's long-term influence is the alumni network. This network, which has more than 8,000 alumni, hosts sober activities, sponsors people, and leads 12-Step sessions to assist new members. Alumni services continue to provide resources like job training, GED assistance, and mentorship, which helps those in recovery feel stable and like they belong.

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), which recently granted the Gooden Center its fifth straight three-year accreditation—the highest honor for providing high-quality care—and the State of California both provide licenses to the facility. The center's dedication to providing high-quality, easily accessible treatment is further shown by its proud membership in the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP).
