inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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.

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

I had an IV i my left wrist.The wrap started to seep out blood.The nurse noticed it and said she would come back to change the wrapping but she did not return.I slept against the edge of the bed and discovered blood was steadily seeping out of the wrapping which became undone. Blood covered the front of my gown and dripped down my legs as I sat up.It was on the floor and table.A doctor came in and looked shocked.He asked me if I pulled out the IV instead of saying we will get this fixed up right away.He was very insulting.The nurse was very apologetic.The blood on the floor was never completely completely cleaned up during my stay.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the treatment I and my family received here following the loss of a loved one. While the hospital staff may have provided adequate medical care, their lack of compassion and empathy during such a difficult time was truly disheartening.Instead of offering a private space for our family to grieve, we were asked to share the waiting room with others. This was incredibly insensitive and disrespectful, as we were all in a state of shock and sorrow. Furthermore, we were even asked to vacate the waiting room to make space for potential visitors. This request was not only insensitive but also cruel, as we were all trying to come to terms with our loss.I believe that a hospital, especially during such a tragic time, should provide a supportive and compassionate environment for grieving families. I hope that this review will serve as a reminder to the hospital staff of the importance of empathy and sensitivity, particularly when dealing with families who have just experienced a loss.

Extremely poor hospital. As someone in the medical field, I can honestly say this hospital is just horrid. ER staff is absolutely horrible and the facility is dirty. They just try to get you out as soon as possible with no real regard to your actual health and wellbeing. They had a patient ready outside our door to take the room we were STILL IN. Very VERY CARELESS staff as well who do not like to be questioned. They run quick tests just to get you out. I also had to get my mother in a wheelchair and wheel her out to the car on my own as the staff and security just watched with no thought to help out. Total embarrassment to the medical community

This hospital is only interested in money. Beware if they think you use this facility too many times they will recommend you for conservatorship. They did that to my brother Jonathan Sussman had had two doctors lie in court about a grave disability he never had. It resulted in his death. Avoid at all costs. I am not joking.

ER staff is awful they don't actually don't care you could be dying out here and they just ignore you especially the nurse Jeanette Camacho RN she acts like she don't speak Spanish but yes she has a big old Nopal on her face. Never coming to this emergency room again. If you love your parents don't bring him here if you're hurting don't come here you might as well drive a little bit farther UCSD or La Jolla

Leg broken in several places and I have way too much to say and thinking about it probably comes down to how much pain I have.I am programmed to have surgery on Friday around 3 basically one day after I show up.The problem is that I have a lot of pain and the Dr. doesn't know how to remedy this.I have asked and asked for pain medication and I really don t understand why they can t get the pain to stop.Ive asked why they don t give me more or stronger pain medication and get no real answer.I feel that I need to go to another Hospital as they are incapable of doing it right.

On July 3rd we welcomed our first baby into this world. The staff was amazing, everyone was focused on keeping baby and momma safe and comfortable during the process. Special thanks to Breanna who was very sweet and went out of her way to make this the best experience possible during delivery and afterwards.
