Jane Westin Center
About Jane Westin Center
Urgent psychiatric care at the Jane Westin Center happens in one same-day visit. The psychiatric walk-in center in downtown San Diego sees adults 18 and older with a serious mental illness, including people with a co-occurring substance use condition.
That visit covers screening and assessment, a psychiatric evaluation, medication services and a discharge plan. Residential care is not offered at this center.
Walk-In Hours and Payment
Walk-in hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and you are screened and triaged in order of urgency and need. Who gets in depends on the Specialty Mental Health Services criteria.
The center accepts Medi-Cal, dual Medicare and Medi-Cal coverage, private pay or no insurance at all. People who are Medi-Cal-eligible are accepted too.
Nobody is turned away because they can’t pay. The County of San Diego funds the program through its Behavioral Health Services. That means you can plan the visit without settling the coverage question first.
Jane Westin Center covers the Central and North Central regions of San Diego County, along with the East and South. It has been open since 1977.
Amenities
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Typically, a young adult program in California can guide individuals from detox, through initial treatment, and extends to aftercare. Treatment gives young adults what they need to reset their lives and move to the next stage of life free from addiction.
Adults 18 and over with a serious mental illness can be seen, including people who also have a co-occurring substance use condition, if they meet criteria for specialty mental health services.
Alcohol rehab in California provides professional treatment to guide participants through each step of recovery. Programs offer a support system to walk you through challenges and celebrate victories with you, from detox to long-term sobriety.
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.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

For those who are struggling with opioid use disorder, help is available at opioid rehab in California. This complex addiction can be treated through a combination of evidence-based therapies and medication assisted treatment.
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
A single session, not a course of care. Adults walk in, are seen that day, and leave with medication services and a plan.
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.

What insurance does Jane Westin Center accept for a walk-in visit?
Coverage isn’t the gate here. Medi-Cal works, including when it arrives as dual coverage with Medicare, and someone who is Medi-Cal-eligible or has no insurance at all is still seen. Payment trouble won’t stop the visit.
Do people stay overnight here, or is it an outpatient visit?
It’s outpatient, and it’s a walk-in. Someone comes in during the day, gets a psychiatric evaluation and medication services, and leaves with a discharge plan the same day. No bed, no overnight stay.
