About VA Medical Center-San Diego

San Diego VA Medical Center is a comprehensive drug and alcohol rehab and mental health care facility for military personnel, veterans, and families in San Diego, California. They offer medically supervised detox, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and inpatient, outpatient, and aftercare services, including dedicated programming for adolescents, young adults, seniors, homeless and indigent persons, LGBTQ+ persons, and persons with co-occurring disorders.

Clients undergoing detox receive round-the-clock medical supervision and may be prescribed FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent potentially serious complications. Those in alcohol and/or opioid recovery may enroll in their evidence-based MAT program for longer-term pharmacotherapy. Medical and mental health assessments, personalized care planning, and case management are provided for all clients. Clients also engage in intensive individual, group, and family counseling drawing on proven modalities, including CBT and DBT. The program promotes clients’ sustained sobriety through recovery-focused life skills training addressing topics such as coping, self-care, wellness, anger and stress management, emotional regulation, disease and medication management, and relapse prevention. An array of evidence-based complementary therapies is available, including acupuncture and fitness therapy.

Their outpatient and aftercare services ensure a complete continuum of care aligned with clients’ evolving needs and may include 12 step program facilitation, transitional support for clients stepping down from higher-intensity treatment, and referrals for medical, mental health, and social service programs. San Diego VA Medical Center is accredited by CARF, SAMHSA, and The Joint Commission. Payment options include private insurance, military insurance, financing, financial aid, low and no cost services, and self-pay.
