San Diego in context

San Diego combines a fast-growing demand for mental health and SUD care with a large military and veteran population and a strong telehealth footprint. Programs here range from coastal residential treatment in North County to community mental health in the South Bay — each with its own licensing path, and each needing clean accreditation and payer contracts to reach the clients who need them.
