About Family Health Centers of San Diego

Family Health Centers of San Diego offers two location options for treatment. The one we’ll be looking at here is their outpatient center on 30th Street. This center helps people who’ve been dealing with drug and alcohol addictions and even co-occurring mental health issues. They integrate behavioral health into their methods in order to reach you from every angle and help you recover. They offer medication assisted treatment as a way of making sure you detox safely and with fewer cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

This outpatient program offers a variety of services to make your visit worthwhile. They do one on one counseling, which is really a pillar in the recovery process. Individual therapy is so important because it gives you a chance to speak to a professional about your addictive habits and past traumas that may have influenced your path to where you are now. They also provide case management, educational services, HIV services and support groups. Their Prodigy Project conducts free HIV and STI testing. They also have a Syringe Services Program to ensure that drug users don’t get infected with dirty needles.

All I can say is I am so happy this health center is my new provider. Everyone was super sweet, helpful and knowledgeable. I received care from Dr. Arya and she was everything you want your doctor to be. She knew what I needed and helped me get better and she was also very sweet and made me feel comfortable. The nurse I saw before was also very sweet and helpful, I wish I remembered her name haha. Thank you guys so much for taking care of me and I m happy to be a patient there now.

Update: I found Dr Chakrabarti who is the absolute best Dr and surgeon I have ever had. Changed my experience for this place. However. If you get an appointment with Dr Lisa Lipschitz run and cancel!! She is the most unprofessional doctor ever and a waste of time. If you need a good Gyno request Dr Chakrabarti.Women s health is a nightmare. Gynecology is the worst to get scheduled. Need a biopsy and hysterectomy yet can get anything scheduled or answered. 2nd try doc was great but can t get back into her . The scheduling is the worst. Office doesn t care. Just fronting for call back. No one cares you re in pain here

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.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

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.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
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).
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

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.

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.

Im mute but I can hear, which the lady at the front desk knew from speaking to me in the beginning but while waiting for a drop in intake with the therapist ( I was told she was free after the client she took 20 minutes after I had arrived and so I waited) the lady started to act like I needed an interpreter. I think no one wanted to service me because when I got in with the therapist she said she had another appointment after. They were kind and condescending. The therapist talked to the interpreter instead of me and when I used a voice text speech she tried to act like she couldn’t understand it. I wouldn’t recommend them for mental health help if you’re like me but maybe that’s just the care I got as the only black person there. Everyone else got quick appropriate care…

Very bad service, they make an appointment at a time and then they call you asking if you can arrive earlier and you arrive earlier and anyway they keep you waiting like a fool. And they only want to see you for one thing and if you tell them that you have something else, they want you to make another appointment and they will give it to you within a month. They should be more professional because we don't come for pleasure. Be more considerate of people. I have been waiting for an hour and nothing

i’ve had nothing but positive experiences at Northpark. The receptionist and those that are booking the appointments are friendly, engaged and so helpful. They really take their time to go the extra mile and answer questions, and if they can’t help you they refer you to someone that can, provide phone numbers or connect you directly. My personal primary care, Lori Lapina was beyond amazing! I truly feel that she saved my life. I appreciated that she truly listened to me, Heard what I have to say and directed me to get the help that I needed. I’m very grateful that I have access to this community of healthcare professionals.

I usually go for Family health center for care for my pregnancy since I'm 31 weeks pregnant now but not usually on this location. I went here today for an ultrasound and non stress test, but more importantly is to talk to a doctor about my condition, since I was just diagnosed with GD. They didn’t really care about their patients and the doctor wasn’t really being attentive and helpful, she looks like she’s in a rush. I wanted help for my early disability also a letter for my absences for my work since my work is strict she just told us to just tell it to the case manager in a rushing voice. Worst is the case manager was more rude, giving us an attitude and didn’t really helped us, didn’t helped us with the paperworks and letters we needed as proof for my work. I will avoid this place as much as possible if you needed care, go to a different location. I went out of this place confused and really felt like I wasn’t heard as a patient voicing out my concerns.

I have experienced ongoing challenges with communication and professionalism at the North Park Center. The medical assistants often appear impatient and engage in arguments with parents over the phone, which undermines respect and creates unnecessary conflict within the referral process. Unfortunately, I have had particularly negative interactions with individuals such as Daisy and Kiara (one of them), where I felt that my concerns were not being properly heard. The role of a medical assistant is to listen and facilitate care, yet these interactions suggest a lack of attentiveness and professionalism. This small office seems to operate with noticeable bias, which negatively impacts families who rely on these services. It is disappointing to encounter this level of disregard in a setting that should prioritize support and understanding. I hope these concerns can be addressed to improve communication and patient experience. Do not bother reaching out to Rachel the center director she is only skilled at business nothing further

Great local place to take my son. We see Dr. Khawla Hanna Suleiman and she is incredibly smart and on top of it. Better than the doctor we used to see at Scripps. There’s a lot of bad reviews here and they aren’t really accurate and give you a bad impression. If you don’t arrive on time and your doctor won’t see you, that seems like your own problem.
