Finding the Right Treatment Center in Southern California

51.5 million Americans were living with a mental illness, yet only around 50% of people received any form of treatment for their condition. Untreated mental health disorders increase the risk of developing:


  • Substance use disorder
  • More severe symptoms and side effects
  • Chronic stress leading to physical ailments like heart disease
  • Additional mental health disorders
Finding the right mental health treatment center is critical for effective care and recovery. Our extensive directory is tailored to assist you in locating a facility that best suits your individual needs.

Our goal is to simplify your search for quality mental health care, providing you with detailed information and support to find a treatment center that aligns with your specific mental health journey.

Identifying Undiagnosed Mental Health Disorders

Many individuals grappling with mental health and substance abuse issues often have undiagnosed mental health disorders. Our directory is specifically designed to connect you with facilities that specialize in detailed assessments to identify these hidden challenges. These assessments are key in determining the most effective treatment approach for each individual.

In situations involving substance use disorders (SUD), detecting underlying mental health issues is particularly crucial. The centers we feature are equipped to monitor for signs of such complexities during the recovery process. We guide you to the right program, ensuring a tailored treatment plan that addresses both substance use and any co-occurring mental health conditions.

Common Health Side Effects and Symptoms

Individuals who can recognize the common side effects and symptoms of chronic or acute mental distress can avoid being blindsided by a mental health crisis. Treatment and long-term recovery are easier to navigate when clients understand more about their condition.

Common side effects and symptoms of mental health disorders may include:
  • Changes in eating patterns, including unusual weight gain or weight loss
  • Insomnia, night terrors, or other sleep disturbances
  • Paranoid thoughts or behaviors
  • Confusion and difficulty making decisions
  • Unusual changes in mood
  • Risk-taking behaviors, including unsafe sex and substance abuse
  • Notable lack of hygiene, including an unkempt appearance
  • Difficulty keeping up with personal or work responsibilities
  • Inability to complete daily tasks or cope with stressful situations
  • Thoughts or ideations about harming oneself or others

What Are Co-Occurring Disorders?

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that “approximately 9.2 million adults in the United States have a co-occurring disorder.” People who fit the criteria for both substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health disorders may have co-occurring disorders.

Commonly misused substances include:
Tobacco
Marijuana
Alcohol
Illicit or Prescription Drugs
Many people who are diagnosed with a mental health disorder also have co-occurring conditions. A diagnosis of a mental health disorder alongside a substance use disorder changes how your treatment will progress due to several factors, like how you react to prescription medication.

Developing a Treatment Plan

Treating mental health and substance use disorders requires a plan of action. Our experts work with each client to assess their unique situation and develop treatment and rehabilitation plans that will meet one’s individual needs and preferences.

Psychotherapy is an evidence-based therapy, often known as “talk therapy” used to treat mental health and substance use disorders (SUDs). This type of therapy can be performed on a group, couple, family, or individual basis. Treatment objectives can be determined through a collaborative effort between the therapist and client.

Types of psychotherapy include:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) can be used in treating mental health and substance use disorders. Medication is prescribed on an as-needed basis based on diagnosis and symptoms. Decisions regarding whether to use medication for treatment will be made with the help of mental health professionals and the medical director.

Holistic Therapy can be used as a complementary modality to traditional treatments and therapies for mental health disorders. A treatment plan will be customized to include alternative therapies based on diagnosis and symptoms. Holistic therapies can help with patients as a whole person and can offer a new outlook on life.

How Substance Use Disorders Complicates Treatment

Facilities should prioritize your safety and personal health. Prolonged substance abuse can permanently alter brain function and cognition, affecting how they should approach treatment and therapy.

Additionally, certain substances require medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to manage withdrawal symptoms during and after detox, which may interfere with some prescriptions used to treat mental health disorders. As such, their clinical team should work hard to ensure that their clients get any necessary medications and assist with medication management as needed.
