What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Way Back
Way Back is a substance use treatment operated by a private non-profit organization entity in San Diego, California. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (residential, detox), 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 2516 A Street, San Diego, CA 92102.
On the services side, the facility self-reports 8 distinct service lines, 3 substance or condition categories treated, 7 clinical treatment approaches, and serves 14 specific population groups with 1 language of care. Those counts 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, payment assistance, plus 3 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey.
Use this page as a starting screen, not a final decision. SAMHSA fields are self-reported by the facility and refreshed on a rolling basis, so wait times, bed availability, current insurance contracts, and staff credentials are best confirmed on a direct intake call to (619) 703-6338. This page is a factual directory summary, not medical advice, clinical endorsement, or a guarantee of admission. For any acute crisis or active substance-use emergency, call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline before visiting any facility.
