What We Do: Services

Adult Outpatient

Pacific Clinics’ various programs for adults (ages 26-59) assist consumers to establish and work toward personal goals to maximize productive involvement in the community and improve their quality of life. Our outpatient services include psychosocial rehabilitation, intensive psychiatric evaluation and treatment, case management services, individual and group/family therapy, crisis intervention, vocational counseling, housing services, substance abuse/mental health groups, recreational therapy, clubhouse/drop-in centers, and self-care programs.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Staff is on-call 24/7 for a wide range of consumer needs, providing intensive treatment for those with serious and persistent mental illness. Asian and Latino cultural and language capabilities are available for monolingual consumers and their families.

CalWORKs

Working by referral from the Department of Public Social Services, the program assists individuals, most with children, whose mental health issues make it difficult for them to secure steady employment and become self-sufficient, independent of the state welfare system. Services provided focus on mental health and vocational counseling, educational/training opportunities, work preparation, job placement and, more recently, housing. The program also addresses childcare and the needs of other family members. Pacific Clinics operates eight sites in two counties.

Clubhouses and Drop-In/Wellness Centers

These unique resources welcome consumers in varying levels of recovery with comfortable, consumer-run facilities where members may engage in peer-support activities, social interaction, and educational, vocational and recreational opportunities.

Full Service Partnership Programs

Our multicultural staff reaches out to ensure access to new programs funded by the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), for un-served, underserved and inappropriately served consumers. Staff provide intensive field-based services and treatment for co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse to the homeless, the recently incarcerated and other high-risk individuals in what were formerly called AB34/AB2034 programs. Other supportive programs include housing and vocational services.

Housing Services

Increasingly Pacific Clinics sees the need to place recovering consumers in temporary, transitional and permanent homes. In collaboration with state and federal programs, eligible consumers are placed in subsidized housing with behavioral health and supportive services. Our housing capacities greatly expanded with our merger in July 2007 with Portals, a 50-year-old nonprofit organization providing psychosocial, vocational and housing services in central and south Los Angeles.

Passageways Homeless Multi-Service Center

Run in collaboration with several Pasadena agencies and largely funded by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), this street outreach program helps homeless consumers secure crucial state benefits, as and with money management, housing and health issues. Similar services are available in coordination with the Whittier/Santa Fe Springs One-Stop Center.

Integrated Treatment /SAMHS (Substance Abuse Mental Health)

Consumers whose substance abuse co-occurs with mental health disorders are more effectively served by one treatment plan led by a interdisciplinary team of professionals. These programs are available at most Pacific Clinics locations.

Wraparound Assisted Treatment (WAT)

This program helps consumers who have committed a misdemeanor because of their mental illness. On completing their court requirement (six months to a year), consumers may be referred to other mental health programs.

Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP)

Participating consumers develop their own “WRAPs” to monitor and reduce symptoms of behavioral disorder and to improve their quality of life. Currently available at several adult and family programs, it is also being introduced into our young adult programs.

Vocational Services

Important to consumers who want to achieve the ability to work, the El Monte-based program offers extensive support to other Pacific Clinics’ programs, especially CalWORKs. The nationally recognized CARF organization has accredited the program since 1996.

Additional services are provided by Portals, a division of Pacific Clinics.
