About Edgewood

Edgewood Center for Children and Families is a nonprofit mental health treatment center in San Francisco, California near Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove and Pine Lake Park. This space serves youth ages 5 to 24 and their families across the Bay Area.

Edgewood offers crisis stabilization, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and therapy services for children and adolescents facing serious emotional and behavioral challenges.

Founded in 1851, Edgewood is the oldest children's charity in the Western United States.

Mental Health Programs at Edgewood Center

This facility offers a 24/7 Crisis Stabilization Unit which is one of only a few in California serving children as young as 5 and the only one in the Bay Area for youth under 12.

Edgewood offers a parklike setting with cottage-style residential buildings. They offer an on-site Non-Public School for ages 14 to 22, a sports field, garden areas, and round-the-clock clinical staff for children in the program.

I've found that they have a multidisciplinary team that provides individual expressive art therapies, case management, medication management and comprehensive dual diagnosis support for co-occurring mental health conditions.

Payment Options with Edgewood Center

I've found that the admissions team is dedicated to working with the child's needs while verifying insurance or payment assistance options. They can recommend the appropriate level of care, including teletherapy for neighboring counties.

The facility accepts Kaiser, Aetna, Anthem, BlueCross BlueShield, Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, Medi-Cal, private pay, and sliding fee scale based on financial need.

Amenities

Gym

When paired with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise can be an effective tool for overcoming addiction. Dru...g rehabs with a gym offer clients healthy ways to increase energy levels, balance the body’s stress hormone levels, and aid in the brain’s healing process.

Private Rooms

In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose th...eir own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.

Levels of Care

Inpatient Rehab

Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient rehab in California reside at the facility for the d...uration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program’s design.

Outpatient Rehab

When you choose outpatient rehab in California, you will meet with a counselor and attend support group meetin...gs. 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.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health diso...rder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Community support and relationship-building are key elements of aftercare rehab in California. You’ll receiv...e recovery coaching, social support, and mentors to help you maintain sobriety after completing initial rehab treatment. This support will continue as long as you need it, which could be weeks or more than a year.
