About San Ysidro Health Chula Vista

Chula Vista, California, is on the San Diego Bay and has beautiful views and miles of hiking and biking trails. It’s home to the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge and a Sesame Street themed waterpark. In Chula Vista, you’ll also find a San Ysidro Health outpatient clinic, which delivers medical services, dentistry and treatment for mental health and substance use.

Many services are available in both English and Spanish. San Ysidro accepts Medicaid, Medicare and private health insurance plans. There’s also a discounted fee scale for those without insurance.

Outpatient Behavioral Health Services in Chula Vista

Services offered at the Chula Vista clinic can help with treating mental health disorders, addiction and co-occurring disorders. Clients can receive individual, family and group therapy as well as psychiatric medication management.

The clinic also provides medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Medication can help you minimize withdrawal symptoms and manage cravings during treatment. I also noticed San Ysidro can provide information about harm reduction services as well as access to naloxone (Narcan) for you or loved ones who aren’t yet ready to stop using substances.

Another service they provide that I really like is school based counseling. Being able to access therapy in school can reduce a host of barriers to care, including worries about missing class and parents missing work. It also reduces scheduling conflicts and transportation issues.

Case Management Services for Ongoing Support

The Chula Vista clinic also has case managers who help you access support you need outside of treatment. For example, they can link you to housing services, employment training and support, and social service enrollment. When you have resources both in treatment and in daily life, it’s much easier to maintain long term recovery.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

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.

Adult Program

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.

Men's Rehab

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

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.

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.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT)

Therapists often use rational emotive behavioral therapy in California to treat addiction. The ABC (activating event, beliefs, consequences) framework is used to help participants identify irrational beliefs and reframe their thinking in healthier ways.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

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

Outpatient Rehab

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.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

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.

Detox & MAT

When you enter drug rehab in California, detox is the first step towards becoming drug-free. The detox process includes 24/7 monitoring and medical care and may include the use of medications to ease withdrawal symptoms.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Intervention services in California provide the support you need to encourage a loved one to make wise recovery decisions. Professionals will help you work with your loved one to develop an intervention plan and get him or her started on their recovery journey.
