Alvarado Parkway Institute Behavioral Health System Outpatient
Our Center for Mental Health and Addictive Disorders is an inter-connected network of affiliated treatment and service providers for both mental illness and addiction allowing clients to move through a continuum of care with ease regardless of acuity levels. Inpatient Hospital - Our 66-bed acute care hospital provides a 24-hour medically supervised environment which emphasizes safety and stabilization.

We provide evidence-based individual and group therapies including chemical dependency detoxification and aftercare planning. Partial Hospitalization is a highly structured and intensive full-day program designed to improve symptoms, promote stabilization, and avoid re-hospitalization. This short-term outpatient program can be used to decrease inpatient stay for some patients.

Report
I was here twice for inpatient, and did PHP ( outpatient ) here in the summer of 2016. The social workers were fantastic, and the units were actually less strict than others I've been in, and the doctors are really knowledgeable and professional. Not quite as good as Mesa Vista, but still a great resource for mental health in the East county area!
