About Westside Community Mental Health Center

The Westside Community Mental Health Center in San Francisco, California. It’s a recovery and wellness agency dedicated to providing treatment to adults who are living with substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders. For more than 50 years, this center has been able to help mend families and get individuals back to living healthy and sober lives.

This mental health center’s substance abuse services include a methadone maintenance program that is stricter than what some might be used to. Since this program falls under a medicated assisted treatment, you may be expected to take supervised urine screens to ensure you are continuing to maintain a smooth trajectory toward sobriety during your treatment.

What I liked about this rehab program is that while I underwent medication assisted treatments, they also provided long-term outpatient counseling. The Westside Community Mental Health Center, allows its recoveries to gain crucial skills through motivational and vocational counseling to make healthy, sober living choices.

This additional form of counseling helps maintain long-term recovery while also helping people integrate back into normal life. The counseling helped me, and others find out the causes of our addictions so we could work toward addressing them to ensure our recovery journeys were heading in the right direction.

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.
