Around the Clock Care Near San Francisco in Fremont, California

Only one mile from beautiful Central Park and Lake Elizabeth in Fremont, the hospital is open 24/7 and the medical staff can assess an individual at any time. Staff will determine what treatment program is appropriate and get clients immediately admitted.

The adult inpatient services are for clients 18 and up and are equipped to handle clients with severe psychiatric disorders. The team uses evidence based treatment modalities to address both mental health and substance use disorders (SUD).

Helping Teens Build Resiliency

There are inpatient and outpatient programs for teens 12-17. The programs tackle many different behavioral and emotional challenges and provide teens with coping skills that help them foster resiliency as they learn to address their issues. The treatment team uses a trauma informed approach to help teens discover underlying trauma that may affect their behavior.

i was involuntarily admitted here for 72 hours, ended up staying for maybe 10 days,, its my first time in a mental hospital so i can't tell if all hospitals are like this or not, but god it was SO BORING HERE. all you can do is go to groups, and all you do in groups is stupid therapy activities that just make you write down how you feel and maybe paint something, else you can watch a few movies. otherwise back in your sad, minimalist room ! they take away everything you have in your room, dont allow you to take anything back to your room, the cleaning services throw away all your soap and toothpaste so you're left there having to practically ask permission to thoroughly wash your hands. the soaps for showering come in tiny plastic packets, and as someone with thicker long hair i had to constantly ask for over 10 packets each just to be able to wash my hair.i was told my first few days they had a washing system where i put my dirty clothes inside a bag outside my door, i ended up leaving the clothes out there for TWO DAYS and no one took them to be cleaned?? the staff so obviously was tired of everyone there, i never had bad encounters but i definitely saw them. not to mention half of the patients are SO rude?? a lot were nice in the hallway i came in first, but after i was switched i could hardly leave my room to even ask for food because i was horrified of them. i was literally threatened and mocked by my roommate AND her group of friends for doing nothing but asking her to stop talking to me, and the staff just moved her room and then proceeded to allow her full access to my room afterwards. if you're a social butterfly and get along with your dramatic classes in high school then id probably recommend this place, if you get past the bore. but otherwise find a different place... 10 days yet i just came out more paranoid.

This hospital was better than most of my other ones so I can't complain. The only thing is that their food sucks. Shoutout to staff Vee, Punreet, Stephanie, Laura, Rahel, Royce, Dorothy, and Mama Max. Thank you so much for supporting me. I miss all of you so much although I hope I never go back to the hospital.Edit: I went to fremont 1 week ago. I can say this hospital has definitely gotten bad. I'm gonna list a few of the problems here.1. Communication is very terrible here. My mom, dad, and friend called me multiple times and they barely ever informed me. Then, when I switched to sequoia unit they didn't tell my parents at all. And when the doctor switched my med frequency around my parents weren't informed either. So yes, I think the communication is pretty bad here.2. The gender seperation is ridiculous. They kept moving us away from biological males, then putting us together, then separating us again. The management told me the reason they seperated us sometimes is because they didn't want any boys and girls to have sexual relationships. Even though majority of the kids there were queer/trans so they either liked the same gender or identified as a different gender. When I told them they said they might change but if anyone didn't have good boundaries then they would separate the boys from the girls again. It's just plain stupid.3. Breakfast lunch and dinner was always bland and in small portions. And on my first day when I asked about my dinner they said they forgot to grab it and it took and hour for them to get it from the cafeteria. Then, on my second day they gave me a vegetarian lunch instead of regular (I'm not vegetarian) so when I asked for a regular lunch I never got it for the whole day.4. When I discharged they forgot to send me the other two of my meds.Other than all of that, the staff were nice and always tried to cheer me up. So, thanks for that. The staff are so overworked though and need a break. Shoutout to Vee for always encouraging me to advocate for myself. (fremont please be better)

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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. The Adult Inpatient Program at Fremont Hospital is a specialized level of care designed to meet the needs of individuals 18 years and older who are experiencing severe psychiatric disorders. It is built upon the belief that we can achieve recovery from mental health and substance abuse problems through a comprehensive approach to one’s psychological and social needs.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

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.

Clinical Services

Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

I was in Sequoia unit in March I MISS YOU GENESIS AND PENELOPE, Justina who was my roommate I hope you are doing well. Just want to say my experience being there breakfast was so horrible, But when you go to the cafeteria the food there is decent, Going outside helped I wish there was more time going outside because when your inside you feel so isolated and the showers turns on for a few minutes then the shower randomly turns off which annoyed me because I would keep having to turn it on, everyone was nice and kind I want to thank Monica (a staff member) she was really sweet also I loved her lashes.

I appreciate this place taking my child in. The communication with me was horrible. I did not get update nor spoke with a doctor. Cooking staff did not wear hair nets and hair was in the food. The minors did not get any natural sunlight. Doesn't vitamin D help depression?
