About Vista del Mar Hospital

Vista del Mar Hospital is a private behavioral health and substance abuse treatment center. They offer detox, inpatient (IP), partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient treatment (IOP), and dual diagnosis services to adolescent and adult clients. They also offer a military support program specializing in the treatment of PTSD. You'll find 'em on 16 acres in Ventura, California.

This program is available to adult clients and takes place in a community setting. During this phase of treatment, clients are cared for 24 hours a day by medical staff as they withdraw from drugs and alcohol.

This facility has separate adolescent and adult inpatient programs. Inpatient care takes clients out of potentially distracting environments and has them reside on campus, where they can be cared for by staff. Treatment plans are individualized and may include individual, group, and family therapy. Clients also participate in education groups, life skills building, medication management, expressive therapies, physical recreation, and socialization programs.

Their partial hospitalization program (PHP) meets Monday through Friday for two to four weeks. This intensive day program for adult clients emphasizes group and family therapy.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) is designed for clients transitioning out of a higher level of care. This day program has three sessions a week with a heavy focus on symptom management.

Dual diagnosis care is designed for clients living with both addiction and a mental health diagnosis. This form of treatment addresses both diagnoses to lower the risk of relapse. Dual diagnosis treatment at this facility incorporates the 12 Step model.

Vista Del Mar Hospital works with many major insurance plans, including Aetna, Compcare, Healthsmart, Value Options, and Multiplan. Clients should confirm coverage with their plan before enrolling in a treatment plan, as out-of-network benefits may vary.

I really enjoyed my stay, the staff there are amazing and a special thanks to my case manager Sam who went above and beyond and even stayed late after working all day to make sure I had somewhere to discharge to. I can't say thanks enough. And a shout out to Chris, Maria, and Tyler who were the best techs and helped me out the whole time I was there. And Dr. Park is amazing. Thank you Vista Del Mar for everything.

Accepted Insurance

Vista del Mar Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.
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.
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.

Treatments

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

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
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.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

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.

I passed out in the showers and not a single staff member checked on me for 30 minutes, if I had hit my head falling or fell face down in the water, who knows what would have happened because of their negligence. Dirty, unsanitary facility with negligent and hostile staff

All these hospitals are just in it to make money off of people with mental illness. It s called exploitation.Anyone with a problem in addition to mental illness never gets a solution to their problem. Oh no, I got passed off to another place that will bill my insurance so money can be made and continuation of the exploitation of the ill because that s the American system!That s the only reason they exist. No other reason. If they aren t just in the biz to make money why don t they offer free services?They didn t help me with my homelessness. They don t care.I was discharged by Vista Del Mar to a crisis residential treatment program called Central Star in Sylmar.Do not go to Central Star unless you want personal things stolen from you and your constitutional rights violated.Maybe it will get even worse because it is a slippery slope and condoning theft can only lead to worse crimes.I went to central star looking for help and that s not what I received. I made the assumption that it would be staffed by complete professions and that was a huge mistake on my part.I came here to get help with my depression and my homelessness. I am currently living out of my car due to rent being more than I can I afford. I ended up traumatized by a place that is supposed to be helping people.Central Star is designed to be a place that you stay at for a week or longer and according to the rules I brought personal things such as my cell phones and my chargers and cables that go to them. In addition I brought clothing and toiletries.I met with several pleasant staff therapists and started the intake process. I was told by a therapist Ami that my suitcase would not be searched or itemized unless I am present during it. As it turns out that did not happen. My suitcase was searched without my presence and my rights were completely violated.I looked through my personal things which were now in plastic containers on a counter and my phone charger to my iPhone 13 was missing and presumably stolen. It was not in my car and I had the USB-C cable in my suitcase so why would I not bring the USB-C charger?One staff member even took the liberty to rip my backpack to find my key fob to my car. The policy of this criminal organization, sorry I mean facility, is that all residents parking any cars there must turn in their keys so that in case the car has to be moved a staff member will take the liberty to steal anything in your car, sorry I mean take the liberty to move your car.I don t know about other car owners but my insurance doesn t cover someone driving my car other than me or someone who is also covered by my insurance.I was also told that they need to itemize my personal belongings in my car as well! This is of course to itemize things they want to steal from my car since it s fun to victimize those who are suffering in life and vulnerable. And since my USB-C charger was stolen, sorry I mean misplaced (in someone else s pocket), I think it s a safe bet that things in my car would go missing too.Needless to say I had a serious problem with my Constitutional rights as a patient being violated.I always thought that those who commit crimes (for example, staff members at Central Star) and become incarcerated are the ones who lose their Constitutional rights and not those who are ill and need help. Apparently residents here have no Constitutional rights and it s policy of Central Star to steal things from them.After I received my medication back, that they surprisingly didn t steal, I left immediately and never plan to go back again. At least now I know where to go if I want my things stolen from me and to have my Constitutional rights violated.I m also going to watch my bank account in case my debit card number was stolen.Long story short: all these places should be shut down completely.

Omg worst mental health hospital ever been in. I was in 7. They treated us like animals or worse than animals. This should be closed forever. Some of nurses n people were nice. I was held down by 7 people because I wouldn t take meds. So they gave me a shot n I had COPD n they covered my head with a pillow. They said we would get pet therapy. But we never saw one pet. I I could go on and on but I won t waste my time. I m sure they won t do anything about it.

A matter of fact place focusing on figuring out whats wrong and giving you the necessary information and/or meds (don't come here expecting to get suboxoned out, they're Not like that) to stabilize so you can then create a plan of care upon leaving. 90% of staff is helpful and knowledgeable most with decent bedside manners. Shout out to G Ward's staff RN Christine G., Mary Jane, Kelly, and LMFT Meredith R. for being super kind and attentive. Extra thanks to Dr. Sharma who even over zoom, on a weekend was the only Dr. to actually Listen to my symptoms and diagnose me correctly with the right accompaniment of non narcotic medications. If you're wanting a cushy, one on one, lengthy experience, this not for you.
