Drug Rehab Centers in San Diego, California

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I ve spent my career helping others navigate mental health challenges. However, when I faced prolonged grief and loss spiraling into deep depression and self-punishment I found myself in need of help I hadn t anticipated. Despite my fears about seeking treatment because of my professional background, I decided to reach out to Sharp Cog-IOP.From the very first interaction, the team provided unwavering reassurance, safety, and comfort throughout my entire journey. Their compassionate and expert care not only helped me manage my grief but truly saved my life. I can honestly say that I wouldn t be here today if it weren t for their support.If you re struggling with depression, grief, or any mental health challenge, I wholeheartedly encourage you to consider the services at Sharp Mesa Vista. Their empathetic approach and professional care can make a profound difference. Remember, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, and there is a safe space waiting for you here.

One of the best behavioral health hospitals in the So.Cal area , Very professional and kind staff. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital in the time of a crisis! They literally saved my life.

A family member was a walk-in there for psychiatric services. Resided four days inpatient until stabilized. I observed, and the patient later verified, a clean facility and very professional, courteous staff.

This clinic has been absolutely great since my return to San Diego in 2016; OUTSTANDING Service and I salute them!!!

Clean facility and friendly and attentive health care professionals.

Always great service. Quiet and clean lobby.

Excellent program. Staff are professional, compassionate and understanding. This is a great place to stabilize and find a positive direction in life. There are two staff that stand out above the rest. Dave and Hunter are outstanding staff who go beyond the call of duty to help clients. They are client centered and truly care. Thank you both for making a positive difference in clients life's. Thank you for all your help ❤️

I wanted to leave this long review with the hope that someone at the center would take it seriously and learn from it. To begin, I gained entry to this program because a doctor recommended me. And honestly? It was the best thing to happen to me that year. The staff is friendly and kind, and they will connect you to lots of resources. That said, there is always room for improvement. For the record, I was homeless when I entered this program (I’m not anymore) due to having lost my job during CO VID. I am an educated woman with a BA in English literature and a survivor of long term narcissistic abuse. My criticism of Balboa Crisis Center is that they don’t enforce the rules! Clients are supposed to attend groups, participate in chores, and respect other people’s food in the fridge. I had a roommate who did the exact opposite and was allowed to stay in the center for a very long time, instead of being kicked out as she should have been. One day she became randomly angry at me and started stealing my food out of the fridge. By this point I realized she was a narcissist – as in, she had full blown NPD – and had imagined some insult from me against her, which narcissists are known to do, often because they are projecting. When I told the staff about this, nothing was done. So I did what I could to minimize the situation by avoiding my roommate as much as possible and asking to be moved to another room. What the staff should have done was exit VICTORIA from the program, instead of allowing her to stay, steal food, shirk chores, and claim a bed that someone else needed more. I was allowed to stay a long time myself, but the end of my stay was coming, and I would be homeless on the street again. I was very upset about the prospect, and Victoria knew this. As I walked past her in the kitchen, she sarcastically said “Bye!” as a passive aggressive way of mocking me for being homeless again soon. This is how narcissists operate, through plausible deniability. I couldn’t prove that she was mocking me because she had been passive aggressive about it. It was covert abuse. Suddenly sick of always attracting narcissistic bullies into my life, I wheeled back around and asked her what was wrong with her. I think it was at this point that she realized she may have IMAGINED whatever she was mad at me for. She started insisting that she meant nothing by it,that she was just saying goodbye (lies). Things escalated to the point that I picked up a cup from the table and threw it at her. I was sick and tired of narcissists. I’ve been abused by a LOT of them and they are drawn to me because I’m quiet, shy, and a loner, the perfect candidate for covert abuse. Well, not anymore. Everyone acted like I was crazy and imagined Victoria’s behavior, but I know the truth. She stole from me and made me do her chores for weeks, then had the gall to mock me about being exited,, and when I finally snapped, tried to make herself out to be the victim. Classic narcissist behavior. And since the staff is made up of psych students, I hope they read this and learn something about narcissists. The whole time I was there, I was friendly and outgoing, and everyone got along with me. The only person who didn’t get along with me was Victoria. That should have been a red flag, an indication that I was telling the truth and she was the one lying. Either way, I am still grateful to Balboa Crisis Center and I hope they take steps to prevent something similar from happening in the future. Yes, this is Ashley. =)

My 21 day stay at vista balboa. I came here not expecting anything. Didn't know what a crisis house was and certainly have never been to one . I came in lost, broken and defeated. The staff( clinicians, peer support, managers, nurses, assistant director) welcomed me with open arms. I felt like I was at home during my stay here. They really care and that is so important when working with mental health. I had a beautiful experience, I got my life back and I know that it wouldn't have been possible with the staff that work here. Thank you♥️

Nice

Great place for recovery

This is a good place to go to get your life goals back on track it gives you the tools to cope with life. But its all up to you if you want to change.

They are a great community service and I was glad to have them! I really Dr Hazelbaker. It's hard to get in when you need to. And they seem sometimes to mess up my payment methods and confuse and scare me but the care is great.

Gabriella,Claudia, Erin and Dr. Melanie here have been amazing, thank you guys for helping me when I needed it the most.God bless you guys

It's a convenient location if you live Downtown!
