Impact Treatment Programs

If you build it, they will come.

Several years ago Impact built a program to directly address the direction and behaviors of our recently incarcerated patients. The PICS (Post Incarceration Services) Program has been granting second chances to men and women under the guidance of our Community Engagement Director David Moore.

On April 22nd & 23rd, thanks to the support and recognition of the Amity Foundation and the Justice, Care & Opportunities Department, Impact was able to show the world the scope and effectiveness of how we can help those who are re-entering society.

PICS Summit: The Impact Model welcomed other service providers, community partners in law enforcement and academia, government officials, and Impact supporters to a two-day conference in Long Beach. The goal was to educate and motivate. To showcase interventions that Impact has put in place, and to help light a path for anyone else that would like to join us.

Our deepest thanks to those who came out, and a promise to the community that we will see you next year.

Dialogue prompts understanding. Understanding prompts collaboration. Collaboration promotes change.

Impact is grateful to the Pasadena Police Department for the continuation of our Impact Alliance Program.

During this round of orientation, Impact got to welcome Officer Laiza Robertson and Cpl. Veronica Burns for a full day of experience through the eyes of Impact's staff and our patients.

Conversations between law-enforcement and our staff, education on the work that Impact does for our previously incarcerated population, and dialogue between police and addicts in recovery is all on the agenda. What plays out is a transformative day of stigma reduction and another step on the journey towards real change in the community.

Thank you to Officer Robertson, Cpl. Burns, and Chief Harris for their support of the mission of Impact.

This is a time of year to celebrate change.

Change is something that is built into the walls of Impact. The change that comes from a journey through the 12-steps includes honesty, bravery, and perseverance.

To recognize this journey for the men and women in our care this Easter, we are asking you to help them celebrate this season of change.

This Easter, we’re putting together baskets for our patients at Impact Drug & Alcohol Treatment Center and reaching out to our community for a little help.

For many of the individuals in our program, this season represents a fresh start and a chance to rebuild their lives. Small acts of kindness, like an Easter basket or a thoughtful item, can go a long way in making someone feel seen and supported.

If you’d like to help, we’ve created an Easter Wish List as well as a donation link. Any support is truly appreciated. Please choose which method you’d like at the links below.

With gratitude and the mission in our hearts, we are proud to announce that Impact has, once again, been conditionally awarded the State of California’s Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) funding.

As the recipients of an award of over $5 million dollars, Impact will be able to construct a new facility and establish a beacon of hope in a community that is just starting to rebuild.

The Impact Altadena House for Women with Children will bridge the gap in care for a population for which there are not enough options for this kind of help.

Our deepest thanks to the Department of Healthcare Services, the Advocates for Human Potential, and the countless voices that have helped to amplify the work that we do here.

We look forward to all that is to come.

Impact Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center invites you to join us for a powerful two-day gathering focused on one of the most overlooked challenges in recovery and reentry: Post Incarceration Syndrome (PICS).

From April 22–23, we will be hosting the PICS Summit: The Impact Model at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach, bringing together practitioners, researchers, law enforcement, and community leaders who are working to change what reentry can look like for people returning home.

Across these two days, the summit will explore both the unique problem of PICS, and the interventions that Impact Treatment Center has been able to successfully employ. Methods and directions that have, consistently, helped to redirect previously incarcerated men and women away from a life of endless recidivism.

Join the the conversation and become a part of a better path forward.

Join us for a powerful two day summit dedicated to understanding and transforming the post incarceration experience.

PICS Summit: The Impact Model is not a passive conference.

It is the answer to a few different questions.

How are we helping this particular population? How are we addressing Post-Incarceration Syndrome at Impact? How can we do more?

Every day at Impact, we work with men and women returning from incarceration who are navigating trauma, addiction, stigma, and systems that were not built for their success. PICS is real. The barriers are real. The need for coordinated, thoughtful response is real.

This two day summit brings providers, leaders, policymakers, and community partners into one room to ask the hard question and share real solutions.

If you work in behavioral health, reentry, housing, public safety, workforce development, or community services, this conversation belongs to you.

Join us at the Long Beach Hyatt Regency Hotel for this amazing two-day summit. Join us as we present The Impact Model.

Thank you Strides in Recovery for starting this all for us and your continued support!!!

Yesterday at the Impact 5K: Dash Thru the 80s something special happened.

More than 500 people showed up to a park not just to run, walk, or dress in neon and laugh together… but to stand for something bigger than themselves.

You showed up for hope. You showed up for recovery. You showed up for the men and women fighting every day to rebuild their lives.

To Representative Judy Chu, thank you for recognizing Impact’s work and for standing with our community. Your support reminds our clients that their recovery matters far beyond just our doors.

To Megan Holiday thank you for bringing your voice, your heart, and your energy to this mission. You helped share a message that recovery is real and that no one has to walk this road alone.

To The Skinny Ties, thank you for making sure that anyone that wasn't running was busy dancing.

And a huge thank you to the Pasadena Police Department and Pasadena Fire Department for helping to keep us and our amazing community protected.

To every runner, volunteer, sponsor, staff member, and supporter:

You didn’t just participate in a 5K.

You helped create a real moment in the lives of people who need to know that help exists, that community exists, and that their future is worth fighting for.

Yesterday was a reminder that when a community comes together, hope gets louder.

From all of us at Impact...
..thank you for helping us elevate hope and change lives.

The Impact 5K: Dash Thru the 80s is officially at capacity.

We are incredibly grateful for the response this year. What started as a simple run to support men and women in recovery has grown into something bigger than we imagined. Your support, your energy, and your willingness to show up for this community made this possible.

To everyone who registered, thank you for being part of this movement and for helping us send a clear message that recovery is real and the support for it is strong.

And to those who hoped to join, we are sorry we could not fit everyone in this year. We truly hope to see you at the starting line next time.

See you on race day. Let’s make it unforgettable.
