About Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital

This rehabilitation center serves as a beacon of hope for individuals and their loved ones facing challenges related to mental health and substance use disorders. They offer a broad range of services that include thorough assessments, inpatient care, day programs, and ongoing support. The dedicated medical and clinical staff are focused on facilitating recovery from addiction through a combination of medications and therapeutic interventions designed to lay the groundwork for a successful journey to wellness. Their offerings encompass education about the illnesses, individual and group therapy, case management, strategies for preventing relapse, family support, recreational activities, life skills development, medication oversight, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and medication-assisted treatment (MAT).

Sharp caters to clients aged six and above. For young adults aged 18 to 26, they provide specialized programming aimed at assisting adolescents in managing stress and cultivating healthy habits as they navigate this transitional life stage. For the elderly population aged 60 and above, their geriatric services specifically address dementia and other age-related health issues impacting mental well-being and substance use.

Sharp also offers day treatment and intensive outpatient programs for those who do not need around-the-clock supervision, as well as for those transitioning from inpatient services. Their continuing care program, which is available at no charge to clients for life, supports individuals in addressing the challenges of reintegrating into their home, workplace, and community through weekly support groups. Additionally, patients have the option to find therapists for ongoing counseling, and Sharp's aftercare application provides valuable resources and information regarding aftercare options.
