Who inspects it?
Not in this record: SAMHSA’s directory isn’t an inspection record. “SAMHSA does not regulate substance use or mental health treatment programs or facilities.”
Its licence and inspections are its state’s: FindTreatment.gov lists the agency in each state that oversees treatment programs.

What else is listed nearby?
- SAMHSA’s directory lists 104 other addiction treatment facilities in San Diego County; 12 are listed here, those in ZIP code 92020 first, then the rest by name.
- They are listed, not ranked: SAMHSA’s directory measures nothing to compare them by.

What this record can’t tell you
- SAMHSA’s listing is reported by the facility; it isn’t an inspection or a rating, and a facility’s state licence and inspections are separate.
- It is SAMHSA’s 2025 directory, from the facility’s own answers to SAMHSA’s 2024 survey, so its services, payment and hours may have changed since. FindTreatment.gov, SAMHSA’s online listing, is more current: SAMHSA updates it weekly for facilities that tell it of changes, and adds new facilities monthly.
- It can’t say whether the facility has room, takes your insurance plan or what treatment costs, and it holds no reviews or outcomes: call to ask.
- SAMHSA’s directory gives no county: its county is the one its ZIP code lies wholly within, from the Census Bureau’s ZIP code areas.
