About South County Mental Health Center

South County Mental Health Center, operating as South County Adults, is a county run Behavioral Health and Recovery Services outpatient clinic serving adults in Redwood City, California.

The clinic provides counseling, psychiatric care and medication management, crisis intervention and case management for mental health and co-occurring conditions.

As part of San Mateo County's public behavioral health network, I want to note that it offers whole person care that connects adults to a broader continuum of support.

Integrated Adult Mental Health Care

The clinic's core focus is outpatient mental health treatment for adults, including care for serious mental illness, trauma and co-occurring substance use conditions.

Services span individual counseling and family therapy, psychoeducation and psychiatric evaluation, delivered by a county operated team.

Treatment may draw on evidence based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and trauma focused care.

Sessions are designed to address both immediate symptoms and underlying concerns, with medication management and ongoing support tailored to each client's needs.

Referrals for Detox and MAT

Beyond direct mental health services, the clinic functions as a local access point for San Mateo County's substance use treatment continuum.

Through assessment and referral, I think it's helpful that adults can be connected to outpatient care, residential treatment, detox and medication assisted treatment resources across the county's contracted provider network.

Next Steps

The clinic is located at 802 Brewster Avenue in downtown Redwood City, with access from US-101 via the Whipple Avenue exit and offers in person outpatient care where adults may call or walk in.

Co-located Conservatorship and Patients' Rights teams help support clients navigating complex public behavioral health systems.

Coverage includes Medi-Cal, Medicare and Health Plan of San Mateo, with assistance available for uninsured and undocumented county residents.

Amenities

Residential Setting

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

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.

Alcoholism

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.

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.

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.

Seniors face unique challenges that may contribute to substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders. Elderly rehab in California is designed to address these challenges to provide relevant and safe treatment for seniors.

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.

Payment Plans & Financing
