About San Jose Behavioral Health Hospital

San Jose Behavioral Health Hospital is a comprehensive medical center for adults and adolescents in San Jose, California. Here, you can find psychiatric care to support a range of conditions, including substance use disorder. They offer a wide variety of treatment options including inpatient, intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. Their services are age specific, so you’ll be surrounded by your peers as you recover.

Their inpatient programs are for adults and teens. During your stay at the hospital, you’ll have access to around the clock care. Their treatments are rooted in evidence based modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, Wellness Recovery Action Planning, dialectical behavioral therapy and more. They also have clinicians who specialize in trauma focused therapy and mindfulness. Most people stay in this program for around three to 15 days.

Adults who are ready to step down to a less intensive form of care can also participate in their outpatient program. You’ll attend services a few times a week while living at home and participating in your normal activities. I like that their teams are experienced in dual diagnosis care and can also help you if you’re struggling with a mental health condition like anxiety.

Most people stay in the outpatient program for eight to 12 weeks. However, the length of your treatment will be determined by your individual needs. Group therapy is their primary form of outpatient treatment. Some of the other services they offer here include individual therapy, family therapy, medication management and basic medical care.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

inpatient iconInpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration 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. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.

12-step icon12-Step

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

Heart icon Treatment

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma focused therapy in California that uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements, to help you resolve traumatic memories. This evidence based therapy is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating post traumatic stress disorder and other traumatic conditions. Following an eight phase protocol this approach helps reduce your emotional stress and fosters healing and resilience.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Recreational therapy is included in alcohol and drug addiction treatment to focus on engaging you in healthy activities that reduce your cravings and improve your overall health and well being. When you participate in group sports, art, or nature walks, you develop new interests and find a meaningful way to spend your time and reduce your cravings.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

I've been to nicer jails. I spent 5 days here. I voluntary went in for a 3 day hold at kieser and got transferred here. They tried to hold me until the 16th but only let me go after I had a scheduled hearing with the state where suddenly I was released after telling my patients rights advocate about how I was being misgender consistently by every member of staff and was denied the ability to care for my self in a gender affirming way.I now have a suspicious charge on my debit card from the 1st while I was in the psych ward. This doesn't line up with my purchase on Amazon. I was assured that my valuables were guarded and in a safe. I'm glad I checked my bank statements. I was only mistreated after walking in the door. Had to repeatedly ask for my clothes that were dropped off. Repeatedly was denied medication I had brought with me and had to purchase it from their pharmacy. Was consistently mis-gendered by staff after I was asked about my gender and pronouns. They did not return several of the pieces of clothing I had brought as well as the bag they were in. After leaving a message no one has returned my call .It's clear that this place is only open to take money from your insurance and the state. While there one of the "care" team admitted that they burn through staff and have a turnover rate as if it where a Walmart. The BHA were constantly complaining about how they were overworked and underpaid. Not to mention that the staff were not even following the posted rules FOR THE STAFF that we could see as they were clearly posted on the walls all around. No "official" signage, calendar, or itineraries were up-to-date or even from the last few years. The entire time I was here the staff seemed worried about the CEO walking in or the fact that " The suits" we're coming and everyone needed to clean up their act. They were multiple policy changes everyday.I was prescribed multiple medications and on them for multiple days before a doctor talk to me about potential side effects. Not to mention I only saw a doctor two times in the 5 days that I was there. The doctor was short and explained very little. As well as the communications between departments was lacking.I watched doctors with no name tags repeatedly Force different patient into signing documents that were not explain to them. Some for voluntary holds. Social workers would show up for 5 minutes and then disappear. Absolutely appalling conditions for a mental healthcare facility.I was told I would have a comprehensive letter to give an employer for time missed it's barely one sentence.. I was also told that it would protect my information but was written on San Jose behavioral letterhead.. so much for my privacyThe condition of the building is very poor, they're very clearly hiring the cheapest subcontractors they can find. My toilet was clogged and would not flush the entire time I was there. As well as other very clear building flaws. It's clear maintenance is a lower concern for a place like this. Multiple holes in the walls that were only covered by oversized pieces of drywall. Not patched just covered. The floors were incredibly dirty. Regularly out of Scrubs for patients as well as other toiletries. When asking for toiletries You'd regularly be denied or told "were just out". There were multiple patients in my units walking around in days old paper scrubs that had multiple holes in them and were ill-fitting.if they would do your laundry, You would never see it again. The food was regularly barely edible, or cold when served.They do not do releases of the weekends so you will be forced to stay extra days if you get to intake on a Wednesday or Thursday. My staff will regularly want to keep you longer than the 72-hour hold. You would also not be notified if somebody had called for you or they would tell you hours after somebody had called.Absolutely deplorable that this place considers itself to be a mental healthcare facility. Chances are if you go here you will leave worse than when you arrived.

My experience here was actually pretty good. The staff there are cool and fun to hang out with and to talk to. The only con about it is that I had to witness a few fights between a couple teens, but other than that the experience was pretty good, the food was great and I got good sleep for the entire 9 days I was there. I hope the staff including Des, Maryville, Shannon, and the rest of the staff are doing pretty good and I will miss them.

I came for an interview today that apparently was never confirmed when it was, so I was rejected but I left feeling very unwelcomed. I wish them the best of luck. I went against the reviews to give into the benefit of the doubt but they seemed to be true so far.

Do not apply for any jobs at this institution. The turnover rate is astronomical from all areas of this entity. The complete and udder lack of humane care for patients, the total absence of training and ethical behavior from everyone who is in a supervisory role is grotesque and negligent. Leadership at this entity allows HIPPA violations to blatantly occur, knows about violations, lets them happen with no correction or accountability. Employees in leadership/supervisory positions exude obvious cluelessness about their basic responsibilities of the positions they hold, and fail to even hold themselves accountable, much less the employees they supervise. it is completely reprehensible when the patients are able to express that they comprehend, understand, and openly observe the ineptitude of staff from the CEO to the lowest ranking employee. Do not apply for jobs at SJ Behavioral Health.

They sent my daughter to this place of healing without her consent or without me signing her in or my wife, they said they didn't need our signatures, and that they had to take her for at least 72 hours from Wednesday to Friday night, because the 50/51 that they say she has, on Friday at 11:30 pm the 72 hours were over and the nurse told my wife that if we could leave her until Saturday morning because all the patients were already sleeping,which we agreed to, (what other option we had), and when we arrived the next day to pick her up, no one opened the door for us and no one answered the phone, after calling several times they finally answered and my wife explained that we were going to pick up our Daughter but they said that They didn't know why the nurse had told my wife that we can pick her up, and they said that they couldn't let her out because she wasn't ready to go out.Information Update in March 4 2023, on July 2023 Me and my wife decided to take our daughter out of this hospital again, because we discovered that the medication she was taking since started getting sick, was making her feel sicker, the side effects were worse than when she was getting depressed, me and my wife took the risk of signing her out of this facility against the doctors recommendations, because they wanted to change another medication with bad side effects like heart attack Note I m not incurring any body to take out your loved ones that are sick from good hospitals where they really wasn t to help you and your kid that is sick, and look for a better hospital or a better way to really help them, under your own decision and your own risk because, somebody sent the social worker to our home saying that we were committing negligence by not following instructions from the doctors by not medicating and taking out our daughter of this facility. Thanks Jehovah God and other naturist doctors, we were able to help her at time and, she is getting better, and returning to school after almost a year of not going to school., NOTE this is our personal experience, and is not going to be the same experiences or results for other people please take good care of your loved ones, and search for other methods and better doctors and hospitals, and help your loved ones as you will like them to help you if you were in need as they are. God Bless you and your loved ones.

my experience at San Jose was actually pretty good. obviously it s not a place a person WANTS to be but i went dec 2022 and i stayed for about a week or so, and the group of people that i was with wow! best people i ve ever met! i m pretty far from San Jose so when i heard i was being transferred all the way here i was so confused. this was my first time at a place like this and the staff were always very helpful. i bonded with a lot of the staff as they all were very understanding and i wish i knew their names because i genuinely miss all of them. the food is meh as expected ya know. but i felt like they accomadated my needs pretty good. my bed was clean, i had enough blankets, enough socks. i had my own clothes that they had washed for me and i felt great wearing something to express myself even though i can t really be myself. they also let me keep in my piercings because i just got gotten them done and it was very nice and accommodating. there was activities like drawing, painting, bead melting, basketball, etc. just little activities to keep you on track. i noticed someone reviewed that they don t stay on schedule, but my experience was pretty opposite of that. i felt like everyday was basically the same, the time frame of each activity remained the same and i looked forward to everything everyday. they also give out snacks which is like the best part of the entire thing . they also let us keep journals which helped me a lot throughout my stay. there was a few downsides such as keeping very bright lights on at nighttime while we are sleeping, the water to take a shower is very wocky, very cold and sometimes very hot. definitely need more outside time then what we are offered.. the snacks are just the best part and they should give out more snacks because they made me so happy! i got to take home so many pairs of socks i have unlimited now. my experience there really made me realize the purpose of life and it made me want to just life my life to the fullest. a lot of the other reviews are very sad and heartbreaking to read and it makes me feel like i had it easy when i went.. i never rlly experienced other teens acting up in my group at all besides this one kid. he would be like the only person acting out and the head staff would deem everybody accountable and punish everyone for somebody s else s mistake. such as taking away everyone s marker privelages just because of the one kid like could you just not move the one person causing problems into another area and calm them down separately instead of making everyone sad for something they didn t even do i dont know i didnt like that part because it felt very unfair for all of the people acting good. other than that, pretty good
