I was a client at MHC San Diego and cannot recommend their program enough. The staff, therapists, and psychiatric nurse practitioner saved my life truly. I was a mess and resistant to treatment long term. After having a week in the program I knew I was where I needed to be. The thoroughness and thoughtfulness that goes into each day is above board and excelled me into a better life. I am forever grateful and honored to have been apart of such a program. If you are in a space reluctant to get help, I encourage anyone and everyone to jump in and embrace the program to the fullest. You never know the life changing improvements and health that can come from it. I know for me it improved my life drastically and put me on a better path for the future.
