Scripts Outpatient Behavioral

Mental Health

About

Outpatient psychiatric services housed in the historic Woltman Family College Building at 4077 Fifth Ave form Scripts Outpatient Behavioral, embedded inside a Scripps Mercy Hospital medical campus that has anchored Hillcrest since 1890. The program functions as a step-down endpoint for patients leaving the hospital's inpatient psychiatric unit and emergency department, a hospital-tethered ambulatory model that differs from the standalone group setup at Advanced Psychiatry Associates elsewhere in the neighborhood. Care coordinates directly with the on-campus Level I Trauma Center for patients whose psychiatric needs surface alongside acute medical injuries, including overdoses and self-harm presentations triaged through the same building. Dual-diagnosis intake handles substance use entangled with mood and psychotic disorders, drawing referrals from across central San Diego that also include cross-system transfers from Hillcrest Medical Center at UC San Diego Health when bed availability or specialty fit dictates a Scripps-side handoff. The most layered casework involves patients moving from involuntary 5150 holds into voluntary outpatient medication management and psychotherapy without breaking the treatment relationship across the inpatient-to-outpatient transition.
