We honor your courage in taking the first step toward recovery. Sharp Mesa Vista's Chemical Dependency Treatment Program offers innovative programs — for children, teens, adults and seniors — that have proven track records of successful outcomes. We will tailor a customized treatment plan for your specific needs to help you recover from your addiction.

Your first step is to speak with a Sharp Mesa Vista intake specialist, by calling 858-836-8434, to discuss your child's symptoms and behaviors. After your child's behavioral issues are determined, our intake specialist will refer you to the appropriate child or adolescent treatment program. If your child is abusing drugs or alcohol, we can also refer you to Changes, a comprehensive treatment program to help adolescents and their families deal with the problems related to developing and maintaining a sober and drug-free lifestyle.

We understand your concern and are here to help. Our cognitive treatment program is designed to treat bipolar adults suffering from symptoms such as depression and anxiety.

All services are provided under a psychiatrist's direction who works in collaboration with your parent's primary care physician.
