About CRF Behavioral Health
Del Sur Crisis Center in San Diego operates as a Short-Term Acute Residential Treatment (START) program. It provides a voluntary, comfortable, home-like option instead of psychiatric hospitalization for adults 18 and older who are facing serious mental health emergencies. The program mainly focuses on mental health concerns, and it may also assist clients who have co-occurring substance use disorders, as long as these issues are not the central reason for admission. To be eligible, participants must have medical conditions that are stable and can be managed through outpatient care, and they must choose to follow the program’s rules. The typical stay lasts about nine days.
At Del Sur Crisis Center, clients receive services such as psychiatric assessments, medication management, individual therapy and group counseling, and education in practical life skills. The program also includes integrated treatment related to substance use, along with recreational activities and discharge planning to support next-step care. With personalized treatment delivered in a supportive setting, the center functions as a practical alternative to inpatient hospitalization. As part of the Community Research Foundation, Del Sur Crisis Center serves Medi-Cal beneficiaries and individuals without insurance, and no one is turned away because of inability to pay. Services are available in English and Spanish to improve access.
