Located in Pasadena and serving the greater Los Angeles area, Annandale provides a full continuum of care designed to help individuals safely detox, stabilize, and rebuild their lives with confidence and clarity.
What Is Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a clinically proven approach that combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy and counseling to treat substance use disorders—especially opioid and alcohol addiction.
Rather than relying on willpower alone, MAT works by:
- Reducing cravings
- Minimizing withdrawal symptoms
- Stabilizing brain chemistry
- Lowering the risk of relapse
At Annandale Behavioral Health, MAT is never a “one-size-fits-all” solution. It is carefully integrated into a personalized treatment plan, supported by licensed clinicians, psychiatrists, and medical professionals.
Why Choose Medication Assisted Treatment in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles is home to a wide range of addiction treatment programs, but not all MAT programs are created equal. What sets Annandale Behavioral Health apart is the combination of medical precision and human-centered care.
Key Benefits of MAT at Annandale:
- Medically supervised detox and stabilization
- Individualized treatment plans based on your unique needs
- Dual diagnosis support for co-occurring mental health conditions
- Luxury, private setting designed for healing and recovery
- Continuum of care from detox to aftercare planning
Annandale’s multidisciplinary team—including physicians, nurses, therapists, and case managers—ensures every aspect of your recovery is supported.
Conditions Treated with Medication Assisted Treatment
Medication assisted treatment is highly effective for individuals struggling with:
Opioid Use Disorder
Including addiction to:
- Heroin
- Fentanyl
- Prescription painkillers (Oxycodone, Hydrocodone)
Alcohol Use Disorder
Helping reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and support long-term sobriety.
Co-Occurring Disorders (Dual Diagnosis)
Many individuals facing addiction also experience mental health challenges such as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- PTSD
- Bipolar disorder
At Annandale Behavioral Health, every client is assessed for underlying conditions and treated holistically—because lasting recovery requires addressing the full picture.
Our Approach to Medication Assisted Treatment
1. Comprehensive Assessment
Every journey begins with a detailed clinical evaluation. Our team works closely with you to understand:
- Substance use history
- Medical background
- Mental health needs
- Personal recovery goals
This ensures your MAT plan is tailored specifically to you.
2. Medical Detox & Stabilization
Before beginning MAT, many individuals require medically supervised detox to safely manage withdrawal symptoms.
At Annandale, detox is:
- Closely monitored by medical professionals
- Designed to reduce discomfort
- Structured to prepare you for the next stage of recovery
This phase lays the foundation for a successful MAT program.
3. Medication Management
Depending on your needs, MAT may include medications that:
- Block the effects of opioids
- Reduce cravings
- Prevent withdrawal symptoms
- Support emotional stability
All medications are prescribed and monitored by experienced clinicians to ensure safety and effectiveness.
4. Therapy & Behavioral Support
Medication alone is not enough—that’s why MAT at Annandale includes a robust therapeutic component:
- One-on-one therapy
- Group therapy sessions
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Trauma-informed care
These therapies help you:
- Understand the root causes of addiction
- Develop coping strategies
- Rebuild relationships
- Create sustainable life changes
5. Residential Healing Environment
Annandale Behavioral Health offers a private, luxury residential setting in Pasadena—providing a calm, distraction-free environment where recovery can truly take hold.
Clients benefit from:
- Small, intimate program sizes for personalized attention
- Holistic wellness activities (meditation, fitness, nutrition)
- A supportive, judgment-free community
This immersive environment allows individuals to fully focus on healing and transformation.
6. Aftercare & Long-Term Support
Recovery doesn’t end after treatment—it evolves.
Annandale provides comprehensive aftercare planning, helping clients transition back into everyday life with:
- Continued therapy recommendations
- Relapse prevention strategies
- Support systems and resources
This ongoing support is essential for maintaining long-term sobriety.
What Makes Annandale Behavioral Health Different?

Who Is a Good Candidate for MAT?
Medication Assisted Treatment may be right for you if:
- You’ve experienced relapse after previous treatment
- You struggle with intense cravings or withdrawal symptoms
- You are dependent on opioids or alcohol

Common Misconceptions About MAT
“It’s just substituting one drug for another.”
This is one of the most common myths. MAT uses controlled, clinically approved medications under medical supervision to support recovery—not sustain addiction.
“You’re not really sober on MAT.”
Recovery looks different for everyone. MAT is recognized as an evidence-based treatment that significantly improves outcomes and reduces relapse rates.
“It’s only for severe addiction.”
MAT can benefit individuals at many stages of addiction—especially those who need additional medical support to stabilize.

Annandale helped change my life. The clinical programming helped me tremendously and the house felt like a home. The environment was safe and comfortable. My life has improved significantly and the internal awareness I've gained has followed me into my work, my fellowship, and my marriage. I cannot thank the staff enough for helping me get back on my feet. I will recommend this facility to anyone that comes to me for help.

Be wary of one star reviews for treatment centers. There are some vindictive, bitter, angry clients who will blame anyone but themselves; and treatment centers and their staff tend to be a go-to target for abuse and retaliation.
In short, Annandale worked for me.
Short story made long: Like any treatment center, you will get out what you put in though. But a good treatment center will give you all the tools, support and understanding you need. And that is what Annandale provides: a structure and foundation for your success, which you build on once you leave.
All the various treatment center bells, whistles and accoutrements don’t matter without a good staff/therapists on hand to guide and support. Luckily, Annandale has both.
The program itself focuses not only on getting sober/maintaining sobriety, but also on modifying negative thought patterns and the troublesome behavior that arises as a result. They know that you must focus on the problem itself, not just the symptoms, in order to recover. Drinking is a symptom of a deeper rooted issue.
They also offer some unique elements to the program, such as equine therapy and soundbaths. I scoffed initially, but kept an open mind. And guess what? It was a great help. Other groups/activities included yoga, meditation, mindfulness walks, nature walks, art, gardening, etc. They take you to 12 step recovery meetings, but Annandale itself is non-denominational as far as I could gather. Which is a plus in my book.
Great location in Pasadena. Right up the street from the Rose Bowl, where you’ll take walks some days. Other walks go a block or two in the other direction and offer absolutely breathtaking panoramic views of the Rose Bowl, Pasadana and its environs, mountain ranges etc. It’s truly a sight to behold.
The house and its campus are extremely serene and quiet. The house is comfortable, a comfy “home” vibe with people that genuinely care. A special feeling to it. Doesn’t feel like some “facility”.
Private bedrooms with their own flat screen TVs. Almost all have their own private bathroom. You get to place takeout lunch and dinner choices (with a mind towards healthy options from some great restaurants) on the iPad every day (which is included with your stay).
But more than anything, it is the staff that makes or breaks the place. Darryl is the owner and possibly the first person you’ll speak to. a very kind, caring, genuine, astute and just cool guy. Very helpful and personable. I was in a bad way when I initially called and Darryl was an immeasurable help in easing my concerns and providing comfort in a very distressful time in my life. Remy, the on-site nurse, is extremely attentive and understanding. Dr Coe is one of the most brilliant doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with—the guy pulled things out that shocked me, things that no doctor-therapist/psychiatrist has been able to reach or decipher in all my years. He gave me a true, unbridled diagnosis of where my issues stemmed from. My wife of 20 years co-signed what he said with a very troubling passion (haha). Said he was spot-on, and he was.
Roxanne is one of the kindest and most lovely people I’ve ever met. The most gentle eyes, emphatic tone — a truly calming presence who offered me immeasurable support so thank you 🙏. Jordan was relatable, friendly and easy to talk to. Very intelligent and understanding of how addiction and sobriety work. Kevin, one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Michael, who became a genuine friend and somebody I could always talk to — and was always willing to listen.
Becky, Carrie, Xenia, Alex, Chris and I know I’m missing a few, but really, everyone was great and offered their own unique approach/personality. This place quite literally saved my life. I was on death’s door and couldn’t even walk in my own when I went in. And walked out a “new’ man.

I love this place. I had to check my niece in 2 years ago. It was a difficult time for our family. Remy explained everything step by step and reassured us she will be in good hands. Like most family, this is our first time having to figure things out. The Facility and staff were very sweet and knowledgeable. The place is like a sanctuary. Peaceful, well thought out and comfortable. We are forever thankful what they have done for us, and appreciate everyone on the team.

Remy Olivier is wonderful. She is the Program Director at Annandale. She is caring, conscientious and so knowledgeable. She makes multiple arrangements and was always available to assist with anything that came up. Remy is an RN who has worked in behavioral health for many years and uses her nursing skills and knowledge of addition when dealing with patients. I can’t say enough nice things about her.
Annandale is owned and operated by Remy and her husband Darryl, who has also been working in the field for 30 years. You can expect outstanding clinical care in a program that is family owned.

First class medical detox - the level of experience, compassion and care is unmatched. They are a hands-on, genuine team who truly treats their clients like their own family. Brendan and Remy have been a pleasure to work with. I would send my own family members to Elevate Wellness Center.

Elevate is a wonderful place. Treatment is tailored to each individual and the staff is absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend this place for residential treatment. It is an incredibly calming and motivating environment to recover in.

Tour Our Addiction Treatment Facility
Annandale Behavioral Health is located in a contemporary farmhouse situated on the sprawling grounds in one of Pasadena’s most beloved neighborhoods. This intimate recovery setting has just six beds, allowing for a higher level of care within a safe, supportive treatment environment. The park-like setting features beautiful gardens and an outdoor fireplace that enhances the serene atmosphere.
Medication-Assisted Treatment in Los Angeles: Closing the Access Gap
Despite Los Angeles County having the highest opioid overdose death count in California, only a fraction of the LA residents who would benefit from medication-assisted treatment (MAT) actually receive it. SAMHSA data shows that fewer than 25% of adults with opioid use disorder receive medication for it in any given year — a staggering treatment gap, especially in a city where fentanyl is now driving the majority of overdose deaths. Annandale Behavioral Health offers full FDA-approved MAT protocols — buprenorphine/Suboxone, extended-release naltrexone (Vivitrol), acamprosate for alcohol use disorder, and disulfiram — as part of our integrated California luxury rehab program.
Clients from West Hollywood, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Downtown LA, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Koreatown, Pasadena, Studio City, and the broader LA metro are typically referred to Annandale for one of three reasons: their previous prescriber doesn’t manage MAT alongside dual diagnosis psychiatric care, they need MAT initiation in a safe inpatient setting (especially for fentanyl-to-buprenorphine micro-induction), or they prefer the privacy of a 6-bed luxury facility over a high-volume methadone clinic. We are located 12 miles from downtown LA in Pasadena, and most LA-area clients reach us in under 45 minutes.
MAT at Annandale is fully integrated with our other levels of care. Clients typically begin MAT during medical detox, continue it through residential treatment, and transition to a community prescriber as part of aftercare planning. For clients with co-occurring mental health conditions, MAT is paired with our dual diagnosis program — because untreated depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma is one of the strongest predictors of MAT discontinuation and relapse.
