Residential Mental Health Care in the Heart of North County
California Healing Centers provides residential mental health treatment for adults from across San Diego County. Our six-bed home sits on a private hilltop in Rancho Santa Fe, centrally located in North County and within easy reach of the coast, inland communities, and central San Diego.
We offer one program: residential care for adults who need more support than outpatient therapy can give. Clients come to us for anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mental health conditions, and they receive treatment from a full clinical team in a quiet, private setting close to home.
Call (858) 868-7707 to speak with admissions. We’re available from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Communities We Serve in San Diego County
We welcome clients and families from throughout the county. Being nearby makes it easier for loved ones to stay involved when it’s clinically appropriate, and it keeps the trip to treatment short.
Coastal Communities
We serve clients from La Jolla, about 20 minutes south via I-5, as well as Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Pacific Beach. Our home is about 10 minutes from the beach, so coastal clients stay close to the places they know.
Inland North County
Rancho Santa Fe is home to our facility, and we serve neighboring Carmel Valley, Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Escondido, and Fallbrook. For inland families, Rancho Santa Fe offers a quiet setting without a long drive.
San Diego
We also serve clients from the city of San Diego and its surrounding neighborhoods. Rancho Santa Fe offers privacy and some distance from daily stressors without leaving the county.
What Residential Mental Health Treatment at CHC Looks Like
Each treatment plan draws on three types of care:
- Evidence-based therapies: cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems, and individual and group therapy
- Holistic therapies: yoga, massage, acupuncture, breathwork, meditation, and equine therapy
- Innovative therapies: brainspotting, neurofeedback and brain mapping, pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing, and red light therapy
With only six beds, the home stays quiet, and psychiatric providers and nursing staff oversee care throughout each stay. Stays typically run 30 to 60 days, based on clinical progress, your goals, and insurance coverage. California Healing Centers is accredited by The Joint Commission, licensed by the California Department of Social Services, and certified by the California Department of Health Care Services.
Insurance and Admissions
Does Insurance Cover Residential Mental Health Treatment?
Many private insurance plans cover part of residential mental health treatment when it’s clinically necessary. California Healing Centers works with many private insurance providers and also accepts private pay. Coverage depends on your plan, not the city you live in. You can verify your insurance coverage online, and you’ll typically hear back within 24 hours.
