What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Stepping Stone of San Diego Inc

Stepping Stone of San Diego Inc is a substance use treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in San Diego, California. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 1 primary care modality (residential), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. The full postal address on file is 3767 Central Avenue, San Diego, CA 92105.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 9 distinct service lines (12-step facilitation, Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Residential, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Trauma-informed care), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 10 clinical treatment approaches (12-step facilitation, Anger management, Brief intervention, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Matrix Model, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Trauma-related counseling). It serves 15 specific population groups (Active duty military, Adults, Justice-involved individuals, Men, Military families, Persons affected by intimate partner violence, Persons who have experienced sexual abuse, Persons who have experienced trauma, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with HIV/AIDS, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Persons with co-occurring pain, Veterans, Women, Young adults) with 2 languages of care (Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing, Spanish). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, plus 5 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment, Federal, or any government funding for substance use treatment programs, Medicaid, Medicare, Private health insurance).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented substance use treatment listings in California: it reports 45 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 11% of 1,580 facilities statewide (state median: 32). More attributes reported generally means more of your specific questions (payment type, language, care setting) are answered before you call.
