About CRF South Bay IMPACT

The Community Research Foundation's South Bay IMPACT program, located in Chula Vista, offers intensive mobile behavioral health and supportive housing services to adults aged 18-59 experiencing serious mental illness and homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Implementing the evidence-based Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) model, the program offers services including psychiatric care, medication management, substance use treatment, nursing, psychosocial rehabilitation, housing assistance, benefits coordination, and support with daily living activities.
CRF's South Bay IMPACT delivers over 75% of services directly in the community, helping ensure accessibility and immediate support. Notably, all clients are provided housing within the first week of enrollment, addressing a critical need promptly. Funded by the County of San Diego's Behavioral Health Services, South Bay IMPACT accepts Medi-Cal beneficiaries, Medi-Cal eligible individuals, Medicare recipients, and the uninsured, ensuring that no one is denied services based on inability to pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CRF South Bay IMPACT accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (619) 934-5770 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other CA centers that accept Medicaid.

How do I start treatment at CRF South Bay IMPACT?
Call the facility directly at (619) 934-5770 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
