About Fremont Hospital

Fremont Hospital is a 148 bed psychiatric hospital in Fremont, California, about an hour from Union Square in San Francisco. The hospital has inpatient and outpatient programs for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors with psychiatric and substance use disorders. The hospital accepts insurance from most carriers, including Medicare, Medicaid, HMOs, and PPOs.

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).

Clients participate in group and individual therapy. One of the unique programs here is the pet therapy. Pets help reduce a client’s anxiety, improve his/her social skills, and promote a sense of purpose.

The adult CDIOP approaches addiction as a social, mental, physical, and spiritual illness. Clients participate in sobriety based recovery groups, ongoing education, and counseling, both group and individual.

The treatment team uses the biopsychosocial model of recovery which takes into account all aspects of a client’s life during treatment. The program includes 10-16 weeks of treatment sessions that meet for three hours in the evening on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

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.

The worst medical facility ever admitted to. I would avoid this if you dont surprise bill with no one getting back to you to explain. Medical staff are doing everything they are supposed to medically, but the admin side is so not doing what they are suppose to. Getting told by business admin that what I see on the bill is all the charges, then nearly doubles well after discharged them ignored when I ask to provide explanation of additional charges. In addition, there is a nurse practitioner which isnt part of Fremont hospital, so thats a hidden out of network service $2000 which no one in Fremont hospital advised when they are suppose to. Escalated to medical director of out patient clinic in which she said she will look into it and never received a response. Im trying to figure out why the bill went up and no one is providing me with a reason why. The business admin lady is ignoring my email, and voice messages and I have no clue why my bill is higher and I am not receiving proper help. Then I get told, she was on sick leave. I understand that I am asking for alot of things but I am not treatly fairly. If If staff are providing accurate info I would not call a single person in that hospital. I have been making payments, and simply want to know what I am paying for. Without surprise bills that no one wants to take responsibility or tell me what they are If you dont want hassle, left out and ignored avoid this hospital If anyone upper management from this hospital sees this, please help me.

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.

IF YOUR RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED, GET AS MANY LAWSUITS GOING BY THE END OF 2025

Cassandra Tweedy

Would give two stars simply because the staff on the floor during the day were all very kind people who were clearly invested in our safety. However, it was too understaffed to actually feel like, and be, a safe place. They would have one staff member on a one to one with a volatile/violent patient. I believe this is somewhat standard, hence the term "one to one". However these staff clearly needed break relief which was non existent. You cant expect these people to chase an actual crazy person for 8-12 hours a day without getting to use the restroom or eat. Even if they're giving it their all, they are going to be too exhausted to prevent assaults on patients. I was assaulted by a paranoid patient twice because she was too fast for the rightfully exhausted staff. I have never felt so unsafe in a clinical setting. The psychiatrists assigned to me spent maybe 5-10 mins with me throughout a week. When I refused heavy antipsychotics she greatly exaggerated my symptoms to make it seem like I was "gravely disabled". I am not, I just have really bad anxiety, depression, and ADHD, which can sometimes make me appear very frantic and volatile. I actually missed some appointments for actual therapy and ongoing paychiatry because she insisted I stay for a full 7 days. The groups are some of the highest quality of anywhere I have had to stay at, which was an odd bright spot. However it makes sense that other places would prioritize safety ahead of expensive art therapy programs and such. I would take 3-4 days of being kind of bored but feeling and being safe, over 7 days of non stop chaos, with an intermittent break of music and art therapy. Though really, this hospital and how it operates is a symptom of a society that *says* it wants to invest in the most vulnerable but is always trying to shave the budget and pass the burden onto someone else. I will say though for anyone reading this who cares, that the county hospitals I have been to with psychiatric units have had good and bad staff, but I have NEVER once been assaulted in any publicly operated facility. Over medicated? Yes. Judged for my capacity to eat disgusting hospital food? Yes. Brushed aside by an overloaded psychiatrist who either never cared about patients, or got jaded over time? Yes. Met some nurses who seem to absolutely hate you and their job? Yes. But I always felt safe. That is the selling point of a hospitalization, is that its a last resort before suicide, and that you will be safe there. Fremont Hospital does not promise that. I am doing much better now due to new therapy and correct medication for my ADHD, and also the support of my loved ones. I would hope that should I ever seriously consider ending my life again, that I am able to push aside the thought of having to possibly go back there. I survived it the last time, but if I wasn't able to call the on call therapist through county mental health, then I would have been unable to cope with the stress that I came into Fremont Hospital with, or the stress I gained while being there.

my experience with fremont hospital was kinda 50/50, half of the nurses there are the kindest people you will ever meet that you’ll think god himself sent them down to work there, and then some nurses had me questioning how they even got their job. my favorite nurses there were named punreet and sara, i loved them because they treated the kids like humans and were always kind and funny. food wise, no matter WHAT you eat there somehow its always really dry, but the banana cake was so good id get admitted back there just to eat it. the thing i liked the most about the hospital was definitely the other kids there. i met tons of other teens who were going through the same things as me, it made me feel like i wasnt alone, like i wasnt ‘crazy’. anyways shout out to the staff working on monterey unit.

Food: no complaints, very satisfied. Plenty of snacks. Cleanliness: it's totally fine, except the ants . Staff: just like any hospital, some are more passionate than others. Shout out to Liza and Daniel on the third floor women s wing. Incredible patience for being yelled at all day long by different patients. Improvement: please stock up some games or card. I have my partner drop off and donate a couple card/ Uno. Hope that will last a while. Card is very cheap, the hospital should be able to stock a pile to give out to patients to kill time. 1 second in the ward is like 10 hours long. Another thing: there's a stupid rule of 2 blankets per person. I have to wear jacket to keep myself warm at night sleeping. They don't even have enough pillows. If the hospital is charging $2000 a day ( being told, not completely verified yet) you can afford to stock up pillows and blankets, this is basic need. I didn't have pillow the first night I arrived, the second nite my wonderful roommate check out, I took her pillow and blanket so I can sleep better, but my new roommate moved in, she didn't have enough blankets, so I ended up giving her one blanket so she is not too cold and finally I request my enough number of blankets after I told the Dr. It is hard to sleep at night because of all kinds of reasons that can't be controlled or change, but please at least give patient enough blankets so they are warm at night, this is basic right.

The nurses were kind and considerate. I was always well provided for my linens and clothes were provided ,i ate regularly , there were snacks all day. The space of the patient's rooms was comfortable, you share a roommate. The process staying there was what I needed. 5 out of 5. The rehabilitation program was daily group therapy. The therapist was an addiction and coping skills specialist, someone certified. There was 2 group therapy sessions.
