California care-setting mix

Sparse-record desk: Teen Challenge San Diego

Signature: #16,098 of 17,974 completeness. Teen Challenge San Diego is a sparse N-SUMHSS sheet (23 attrs; below 30). Treat missing MAT/Medicaid/modality rows as unreported, not proven absent; confirm by phone before travel.

What is present: residential, outpatient; payment assistance. What is thin: many SAMHSA fields blank on this vintage. Teen Challenge San Diego's SAMHSA record documents fewer attributes (23) than the typical California facility (state median: 32, out of 1,580 listed statewide). That is common for smaller or newly-surveyed programs and does not mean fewer services are actually offered, it means fewer were self-reported to SAMHSA. Call the facility directly to confirm services not shown here.
