HCAI-licensed for 109 beds, the Psychiatric Hospital of San Diego County in Point Loma, San Diego is a standalone acute psychiatric facility on Rosecrans Street operated by the County HHSA. The Emergency Psychiatric Unit accepts adults eighteen and older through walk-in, Mobile Crisis Response Team, PERT, and law-enforcement transport pathways, and its discharge-coordination protocols connect stabilized patients with community programs at Options For All for supported reintegration. A Crisis Recovery Unit houses nursing, social services, recreational therapy, nutritional services, pharmaceutical support, peer counseling, and substance-use programming under one inpatient roof. Medi-Cal, Medicare, Short-Doyle Medi-Cal, and UMDAP sliding-scale funding cover patients who lack private coverage, and post-discharge medication continuity runs through the on-site County HHSA Pharmacy. The care-coordination team builds step-down plans that link patients with outpatient mental-health providers at Therapy-Connection to prevent emergency readmission. The hospital’s highest-acuity function is locked-unit stabilization for patients on involuntary seventy-two-hour holds presenting with acute psychosis, active suicidal planning, or gravely disabled status requiring round-the-clock psychiatric, nursing, and pharmacological intervention.
