About Sharp Mesa Vista East County Outpatient Mental Health Services

Sharp Mesa Vista East County Outpatient Mental Health Services

Sharp HealthCare is a nonprofit healthcare organization with hospitals, specialty hospitals, and affiliated medical groups throughout San Diego, California.

The organization accepts most health plans. Their facility in El Cajon offers psychiatric outpatient treatment for clients with mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders (SUD), eating disorders, and more. The program treats adults, young adults, and adolescents.

Outpatient Addiction and Mental Health Healing in El Cajon

One of the things I like about this facility is its convenience to I-8 and proximity to San Diego State University. Beautiful Mission Bay Park, with its views of the bay, picnic areas, and playgrounds, is only 30 minutes from the treatment center.

Clients can get care for most behavioral disorders, including substance use, anorexia, binge eating, bulimia, schizophrenia, mood disorders, and more. Dual recovery programs for clients with co occurring mental health and substance use teach you to monitor and reduce your symptoms. They also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol dependency.

You’ll learn about psychiatric symptoms and how they relate to relapse triggers. You’ll participate in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps you focus on the present, develop better coping strategies, and challenge your negative thought patterns.

Mental Health Treatment Plans for Transitional Age Youth (TAY) in San Diego

One of the programs that struck me was the TAY program. The program is designed to help young adults between 18 and 26 as they navigate behavioral issues.

The program is tailored to the needs of clients in this challenging age group. Clients participate in individual, group, and family therapy. They address drug and alcohol use, build social support, and focus on stress management and recovery strategies.

The program offers clients a combination of medication management, education, and therapy as they learn to manage their behavioral and mental health issues. Whether it's schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use, or co-occurring disorders, clients get the help they need to propel them forward into a better life.

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

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.

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.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) are a type of outpatient treatment program that often utilize many of the same treatment methods used for inpatient care. The difference being that you only visit the drug rehab in California during treatment times, then you can return home.
