About Aurora Behavioral Healthcare San Diego Hospital
Aurora Behavioral Healthcare San Diego Hospital is a behavioral health hospital in San Diego, California. They offer comprehensive mental health services, including treatment for substance use disorder and co occurring mental health disorders in adults. The substance use treatment program includes inpatient detoxification services.
The hospital works with HMOs, PPOs (including Kaiser) and TRICARE. They also take Medicare. If you have MediCal then they take it for patients between the ages of five and 20 and 65 and up. The substance use treatment program is for adolescents (13 to 17) and adults.
Detox is part of the chemical dependency treatment program. This is an inpatient detox with around the clock medical supervision. You’ll have a treatment team providing a structured program. The treatment team includes a medical doctor specializing in addiction (addictionologist), a psychiatrist, a chemical dependency counselor, a family therapist, an internist, a psychologist and a dietician. There are also occupational and recreational therapists.
You’ll be in the detox phase of treatment for about three to seven days depending on the severity of your addiction. During this phase, you’ll rid your body of harmful substances while breaking the chemical dependency your body has developed. You’ll be given an individualized treatment plan based on psychological and psychiatric evaluations, lab testing, and other evaluations.
Through individual and group therapy, you’ll have the opportunity to identify the underlying reasons for your addiction. Many people with substance use disorder have co-occurring mental health challenges such as bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety. Identifying these conditions is important to achieving and maintaining long-term sobriety. While in the program, you’ll get acquainted with the 12-Step model through groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Once through the detox phase of the program, you’ll continue with inpatient treatment. That includes intensive individual and group therapy. You’ll learn new coping skills, better nutrition, problem-solving and relaxation techniques.
