South Bay Guidance Center - Drug Rehab

The South Bay Guidance Wellness and Recovery Center's services are based on the principles of psychosocial rehabilitation, with emphasis on attending to the whole person and re-establishing one's life as a result of the consequences of mental illness, rather than simply attending to the symptoms of the illness. The services focus on recovery, rehabilitation, and community integration, and are individualized to meet the needs of each client. Clients actively participate in setting service plan goals and are encouraged to involve family and significant others in the recovery plan.

The team at South Bay Guidance Wellness Recovery Center is multi-disciplinary, and consists of psychologists, marriage and family therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, and master's level psychology interns. In addition, the team at SBGWRC is bilingual and bicultural, across all disciplines, in order to linguistically and culturally address the needs of the large Latino population in the South region of San Diego.

In addition to outpatient psychiatric services, the South Bay Guidance Wellness Recovery Center also has three specialized programs: Full Service Partnership Case Management, targeted services for Transition Aged Youth (aged 18-24) and Older Adults (aged 60+).
