About Jane Westin Center

The Jane Westin Center, situated in downtown San Diego, is an Urgent Psychiatric Walk-In Center catering to adults aged 18 and older experiencing serious mental illness, including those with co-occurring substance use conditions. The center offers same-day, one-time services such as behavioral health screenings, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, crisis intervention, and discharge planning for individuals in urgent need of psychiatric care.
Part of the Community Research Foundation, the Jane Westin Center prioritizes accessibility and comprehensive support. Funded by the County of San Diego's Behavioral Health Services, the center welcomes Medi-Cal beneficiaries, dual Medi-Cal/Medicare recipients, Medi-Cal-eligible individuals, and the uninsured, ensuring no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Conveniently situated near multiple bus lines and within walking distance of the City College tram and 5th Avenue light rail stations, the center connects clients with community programs for ongoing psychiatric care, behavioral health support, and social services, helping facilitate a smooth transition to continued care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Jane Westin Center accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (619) 235-2600 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other CA centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does Jane Westin Center offer?

SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.

Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at Jane Westin Center?
Call the facility directly at (619) 235-2600 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.
