Facility adds treatment capacity in North County, coming next to East County
The county is poised to open its second stand-alone crisis stabilization center early next week, with local leaders gathering at the new location in Oceanside Monday to get a look at the facility, which has the capacity to treat residents experiencing moderate to severe symptoms of mental illness.
Bright-colored walls lead to a main seating area where a dozen green recliners were clustered together, separated by low dividers made of frosted glass. Overseen by a long curved nursing station, the space is bordered by private rooms, a small outdoor garden, and an indoor garden with a tall wall of living plants.
The overall vibe, many noted, is upscale, more day spa than mental health unit. Such surroundings, noted county Supervisor Jim Desmond, would not be out of place for a business meeting.“This is a beautiful facility, it looks like a Hilton lobby,” Desmond said. “It’s very calming, very soothing, lots of greenery.”
San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan pointed out that the facility, and its sister in Vista, have two doors, one for walk- ins and a second for law enforcement to drop off those picked up on “5150" calls connected to concerning behavior.
