About Naval Hospital

The Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton, California, provides medical services to military personnel on the base. They also offer mental health services and substance use treatment. Services include crisis intervention, assessments, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and specialty support groups. Coverage for treatment is available through TRICARE, which covers medically necessary care for mental health and addiction treatment.

Outpatient Substance Use Treatment for Military Members

The military has a Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program (SARP) that can treat addiction as well as any co-occurring mental health disorders. Services include in-person and virtual screenings as well as virtual psychoeducational courses. There’s a three week cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program with 12 90-minute sessions that meets both in person and online.

The IOP is six weeks long and is available both in person and virtually. There are three tracks: trauma, general behavioral health and addiction specific. This IOP treats mental health only, addiction only, and co-occurring disorders. The program also includes holistic options like yoga, Tai Chi and therapeutic massage.

I noticed there are also some drop in groups with specific focuses. There are gender specific groups as well as groups focused on recovery, relationships and CBT alumni. Having lots of options makes it easier to find the treatment you need to break free from addiction and establish sobriety.

The Intrepid Spirit Center for TBI and PTSD

The Intrepid Spirit Center is a unique program that has 10 satellite locations, including this one on Camp Pendleton. It’s specifically designed for military members struggling with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Because these mental health issues often co-occur with substance use, this Center is an important support for military members in treatment and recovery. Services include an IOP Achieve Program, adjunct therapies and a wide variety of services specific to traumatic brain injuries.

This location is the OLD hospital and has not been in service for a long time. The only active naval hospital is the one by the main gate.

I have read a few of the other reviews and I have to say that I disagree with most of them. While the check in process and the wait times for the pharmacy are a bit long and tiresome, I have had good experiences with each Dr., nurse and desk attendant I have dealt with.

This is easily the worst hospital I have ever been to. I have been stationed all over the country and my family and I have been treated at multiple naval hospitals and clinics as well as civilian hospitals and they all were far better than the hospital at Camp Pendleton. The nurses and doctors in the ER are incredibly neglectful, rude and arrogant. They clearly do not carr about their quality of work. The staff is careless and slow and spend more time making up excuses why they can't do anything for you than they do treating you. The officers at the ER will get in your face and yell at you if you ask questions or express your concerns to them. The staff seems to have forgotten that it is their job to care for sick and injured service members and their families. Tiny clinics in the middle of nowhere give fare better care and service than this place does. Up to this point my family and I have always received excellent care at Naval hospitals and clinics, until we went to the hospital at Camp Pendleton. If you have a choice, do not go to this hospital, especially the ER, unless you want to be treated like you do not matter and want terrible treatment or, more likely, no treatment at all.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Intensive 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Medical Negligence is an understatement of the kind of treatment you will recieve at the ER of this Hospital. Have NEVER seen a worst Hospital than this one! The Officers at the ER are an embarrasment to Naval Medicine, I wonder where they got hired from..... Quak School maybe? They have no value for Human life!!!!!!

First off to the person who gave a review on how she loves how people complain about free healthcare, you might want to do your research first before you speak on things you're uninformed about. We took our 2 year old son in who fell and hit his head on our ceramic tile. He threw up and his lips turned purple and he was very lethargic. Upon getting to the ER we were told to wait. I'm pretty sure head trauma is priority. We waited for over 2 hours and weren't seen. While people who were sick were getting in before our son. We finally ended up leaving and taking him to an ER off base and he was seen as soon as we got in because it was head trauma. The staff needs to learn priorities. If we ever have an emergency again I will opt to not to go to Camp Pendleton

Their L&D triage is slow and has lack of corpsman. Most of the nurses especially the civilian ones have bad bed side manners. Also one of the nurses yelled at my wife and raised her voice at me when trying to discuss my wife's pregnancy on the phone. Getting appointments is a nightmare for obgyn especially when you need an appointment fast because its important for the mother and her unborn child. Getting an ultrasound should be instant when going to triage for L&D and not waiting for an appointment, that's just my opinion.

@ Stacie mcneal....It's not really free...our service men and women and their families pay everyday!! And that doesn't justify making medical mistakes or taking a child life. We pay less money out of our pockets but we pay more in other ways. Moreover, the Health care providers don't get paid less, they GET PAID A SALERY they agreed on, so they should do their JOBS LIKE OUR SERVICE MEN N WOMEN DO...our military men and women they are under paid and signed away their rights...."..this was by far one of the most ignorant statement I've ever heard. Shame on you..

Prepare to wait 3-4 hours for an actual emergency.

The OB/GYN clinic has to be one of the worst in the nation. They schedule appointments without talking to the patient, they schedule appointments for lab work after the labs are closed, some of the physicians are flat-out rude, and to top it off, they put the baby at risk. My first child had to be induced early because she was no longer growing and not receiving the blood and nutrients the she needed. My wife is 33 weeks pregnant and was supposed to get a growth scan to make sure the same thing wasn't happening. Went in today for the appointment and they said the growth scan wasn't scheduled and it could be 3-4 weeks to get one. Seriously? My first child had already been induced by that point because it was dangerous for my wife to keep carrying her. Had I known the CP Hospital was so incompetent at their jobs, I would have chosen not to have another child.
