General Info

McDonald Center at Sharp HealthCare offers the most comprehensive, hospital-based chemical dependency treatment in San Diego — all in a safe, supportive environment. The Center spans long-running programs at both Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital and Sharp McDonald Center (formerly Sharp Vista Pacifica Hospital), caring for adults, adolescents and families. Medically supervised detoxification and rehabilitation, day treatment, outpatient and inpatient treatment programs, evening outpatient sessions and an aftercare program extends recovery into a lifelong process. Total abstinence from alcohol and mood-altering drugs is the goal for all of our patients. Although patients must eventually take responsibility for their long-term recovery, McDonald Center at Sharp HealthCare provides a blueprint for developing a sober lifestyle.
