Targeted Addiction and Mental Health Treatment in San Diego
The program serves the central region and downtown San Diego areas and targets adults who meet the Specialty Mental Health Services criteria. The criteria include a diagnosed mental health disorder causing significant impairment and the probability of further deterioration in important life functions. This includes clients with a co occurring substance use disorder.
The Treatment You Need to Live Independently in San Diego County
I like that the program is culturally responsive and community based. Staff helps you develop goals and work to achieve them.
You’ll have group and individual counseling, peer support, and a case manager to help you navigate the process. Another aspect of the program I think clients will appreciate is the employment and education services.
The treatment center is less than a half-hour walk to San Diego Bay and many local attractions including the oldest active sailing vessel, the Star of India. This is a beautiful place to work on your mental health.
Addiction Treatment Programs
An adult program in California uses various therapeutic methods to treat a person who is dependent on an addictive substance. Individuals aged 18 and older are eligible for treatment, which focuses on breaking the cycle of addiction and learning how to maintain sober living.
Gender-specific addiction treatment programs may be more effective in treating men because they focus on unique needs of males. Men’s rehab in California is designed to help men process emotions and cope with stress in a judgment-free environment.
Women’s rehab in California provides a safe environment where women can work through addiction challenges surrounded by their gender peers. This often creates an environment that is more conducive to recovery.
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.
Levels of Care
When you choose outpatient rehab in California, you will meet with a counselor and attend support group meetings. The focus will be on restructuring attitudes and thoughts to reduce cravings and develop skills to prevent relapse. The length of time in outpatient rehab varies by individual, based on their recovery needs.
When you have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health disorder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.
