About Sharp Grossmont Hospital

Sharp Grossmont Hospital offers dual diagnosis treatment in La Mesa, California. Their program treats adults fighting addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously. You’ll have a safe, supportive space to focus on healing as you live at home.

People struggling with addiction often have underlying conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Mental health experts recommend treating both illnesses in tandem to promote the most positive outcomes. Their program strives to put your needs first, with individualized treatment planning designed for long term recovery.

You’ll participate in motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy with targeted education on managing mental health symptoms. They teach you about the relationship between addiction and mental health illnesses and how to monitor and recognize the symptoms that can trigger use. You’ll also have access to medication assisted treatment to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings that can hinder recovery.

What stands out most to me is they encourage participation in peer support groups like 12-Step programs and SMART Recovery. Peer support can be essential in treatment to learn from others in recovery and share your story. You can connect with others on similar paths as you hold each other accountable in your recovery journeys.

Was just admitted a few weeks ago and the care provided was really good. I was diagnosed and treated. The food could definitely be better and they don’t really have menus for patients and you can’t choose what you eat unless you ask the nurse. But I was able to have family bring more tasty food. The care and private room made the stay great other than being sick. Both doctors I had were great and went above and beyond and all my nurses were amazing. The ER was very busy but they had me admitted and in a room within a couple of hours.

What happened to Hannah Michaelis and her baby Samuel was unacceptable. If a pregnant woman presents to the ER in excruciating pain and is experiencing complications in her pregnancy, you TREAT HER. That nurse was too nonchalant about the whole thing. To have to give birth to your baby prematurely in your car in the hospital parking lot when care is available just FEET away, is awful. RIP baby Samuel. I hope this family can heal and that there are repercussions for the hospital. I hope the family wins the lawsuit. Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath, the Nightingale Pledge? Shame on you, Sharp Grossmont Hospital.

Its really unfortunate how this facility is operated. Some of the staff are just not nice people. It seems as if there is a staffing issue. The staff need to train in empathy and customer service. It would go a lot way. They were rude and colddddd. Not what people need in moments of fear and anxiety.

Accepted Insurance

Sharp Grossmont Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is defined by alcohol dependence. This is a state the body reaches when it experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absence of alcohol. A person who has AUD craves alcohol and continues to drink despite adverse consequences. Because withdrawing from alcohol can pose health risks, individuals with AUD should seek professional alcohol rehab in California to overcome their alcohol addiction. This process typically involves medical detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance.

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

In California, substance abuse treatment programs can help individuals with any type of substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions. These rehab programs typically encompass various levels of care, including medically assisted detox, intensive outpatient, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization. You can expect clinicians to utilize evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help you achieve and sustain your recovery. The rehab's clinical team can provide a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate level of care and medical support you may need.

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.
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).

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

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.

Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.

At this time, my niece is in the ER, and already feeling uncomfortable with the RN caring for her. My niece was not given privacy as people or the janitor walked by. This is Nursing 101 ( I know this, as I’m a RN) to provide privacy for the patient. She feels violated as she was undressing and trying to pull her own curtain closed, while she is moving slow and in agony! I will be at her bedside tomorrow.

My dad had a two night stay in early May. His nurse, Josh, on floor 2 was great. Always took time to answer my questions. The room was kept clean, great housekeeping (by Octavio??). And the gal taking food service orders has always been so friendly and patient, during this stay and another stay in March.

I have been going to Grossmont hospital for several years at different times. I have had 15 surgeries at different hospitals. Many at Grossmont hospitals. Out of all the hospitals, Grossmont is the best. They have the kindest staff and drs. I am still going to them for various procedures just recently. Also, my son who is a 46 year old disabled man had to get his teeth cleaned there and we were all treated like we were special. Im surprised at the 1stars. I really think that with all the stress in the world today, everyone is a little on edge. And it is easy to have a bad day. I really try to put myself in there shoes. They work very hard and sometimes they are over worked. But they have to keep going on. There is so much sickness going on right now, it is hard to keep up. While I appreciate those who have given 1 stars and I have great empathy for them, I hope that Grossmont can bring there standards back to how they used to be when I first went to them in 2011 until now. Also, I am a African American Woman

I wanted to take a moment to share something positive about my experience at this hospital, especially since it’s so often criticized here in San Diego. I went to the ER on Tuesday with appendicitis, and despite the seriousness of my condition, I had a genuinely positive experience. My ER nurse, Allen, was kind, funny, and professional. He stayed upbeat and reassuring during a time when I was understandably anxious, and his knowledge and attentiveness made a real difference. When I was transferred to pre-op, I was scared, but my surgeon, Dr. Cha, was outstanding. He listened carefully to my concerns, was thoughtful in his approach to the procedure, and I truly appreciated his attention to detail and kindness throughout. This hospital often gets a bad reputation, but in my experience, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I was treated with compassion and felt completely cared for from start to finish.

Hello Zoe,<br><br>Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to hear you were well taken care of. Thank you for entrusting us with your health care needs.<br><br>In good health, <br>Ellie
