How Much Does Treatment at Mental Health Systems Inc – Santee Cost?

Rehab paid for privately in California typically costs $1,200 to $5,000 a month for standard outpatient care. That is a guide only, as published prices for Mental Health Systems Inc were not found at the time of writing.

Standard inclusions are the intake assessment, group therapy and individual counseling. It is fair to assume Mental Health Systems Inc works the same way, but that is an assumption. Ask the facility which therapies and medications cost extra.

We have gotten the best care and support from everyone at this facility you all have been so good to our son thank you

Michael Gallagher2 years ago

There is no better dual diagnoses program than what is provided here. I turned to this vervet when I dig myself into bedrock and ready to drill even further. I had no hope for help, but so dying as I was, I gave life… one more chance. I was seen immediately and had a treatment plan developed that suited my needs and interests rather than some prescribed formula. The only challenge I faced was the motivation to show up. After a short amount of time, there was nowhere else I wanted to be than the clinic. The sessions taught me how to develop emotional intelligence, get services I needed to thrive, and get my life where I wanted it. Working on myself became a wonderful and fun journey rather than just something to appease my family. Over time, my mental health began to stabilize, I found sobriety, and I engaged with my spiritual parts. Today, I have been reintegrated with my wife, children, and employment. Everything I was willing to sacrifice for my selfishness became nothing compared to what I got from sobriety. I will forever be thankful for MHS. Without them, I would either be in jail, an institution, or a cemetery.

I can't speak highly enough about MHS Action East in Santee. Their comprehensive recovery program addresses every aspect of rebuilding your life, from housing and job placement to education and career development. They… offer counseling, legal services, and more, ensuring that everyone committed to sobriety has the support they need to succeed. If you're serious about recovery, this is the place to start your journey.

I love my case manager, the nurses, my psychiatrist, and the other clinicians and workers I have met there. When I am there, I always feel comfortable, and know these people really ARE there for me as best as they can… be. I am so happy Action East was suggested to me. I am much happier there, than at Heartland, where my trust, at one point, was violated badly... Part of which came from a lie they told me. At one point, I hadn't planned to return to Heartland. Then when it was set up for me, I still wasn't entirely comfortable, and I think my case manager had sensed that, since she is the one who had originally lied to me about a year or so prior. So I am exceedingly happy she wanted to have my case moved to Action East. It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for my mental health!
