About Sharp Grossmont Hospital

Sharp Grossmont Hospital offers dual diagnosis treatment in La Mesa, California. Their program treats adults fighting addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously. You’ll have a safe, supportive space to focus on healing as you live at home.

People struggling with addiction often have underlying conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Mental health experts recommend treating both illnesses in tandem to promote the most positive outcomes. Their program strives to put your needs first, with individualized treatment planning designed for long term recovery.

You’ll participate in motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy with targeted education on managing mental health symptoms. They teach you about the relationship between addiction and mental health illnesses and how to monitor and recognize the symptoms that can trigger use. You’ll also have access to medication assisted treatment to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings that can hinder recovery.

What stands out most to me is they encourage participation in peer support groups like 12-Step programs and SMART Recovery. Peer support can be essential in treatment to learn from others in recovery and share your story. You can connect with others on similar paths as you hold each other accountable in your recovery journeys.

If I could give them a zero, I would. I was able to go in and get checked in fast, however after doing blood draw and checking my blood pressure, I ve sat here for 3 hours with no update besides someone coming to update my number, and give me a covid swab, and 3 meds which I could ve done at home. When asking how much longer, it s the same answer, whenever the doctor is free. 3 hours. Insane.

Check your paperwork before leaving the ER. They gave me someone else's work excuse letter with his full name and date of birth, which clearly is a violation of HIPAA. When I called to get this issue sorted out, and when I asked them to get a replacement work excuse letter, they told me it's not possible because I was already seen on that day, and they can't give out any notes after that. So watch out. Maybe go somewhere else.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
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) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.
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.

Treatments

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 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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

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.

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.

Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

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 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.

What the hell is wrong with Sharp Grossmont Management and Scheduling? Wife has been in the ER for almost 6 hours waiting on an ultrasound to determine if she has a blood clot in her leg. A potentially life threatening condition. Not only that she is in constant pain. Turns out management and scheduling decided not to schedule ultrasound techs for Monday. While we wait and wife is in pain, nurses are escalating, but still nothing.

Sharp Grossmont call centers and advocates are recording patients calls. When I ask, "Do I have to be recorded" they say, "Yes". Californua is 1 of the 11 states that requires both parties to consent. They were already sued in the past for secretely recording patient proceedures. This law of secretely recording patients is only given to certain Dr.s in rare instances. Please know your rights and the law. Besides, it is impossible to harm any human being over the phone. Speak up for your rights, even though it might make the "patient advocate"upset. P.s. there aren't any patient advocates, except for a few who are living 500% below the level of poverty.

My wife's been sitting here for hours, sick to her stomach. They took blood and said "the doctor will be out to see you." But it's been hours literally. ITS not even that crowded. You ever had to keep throwing up but they won't even let you have ice chips, so your mouth is dry as heck? I can't imagine how she feels. ON top of that, it feels like a frickin oven in here. I thought hospitals kept it cool to retard the spread of germs. Also it's soooooo dirty in here. This place is gross. Oh I get it now Sharps GROSS-mont Hospital. We'll at least they're living up to thier name.
