San Diego Center for Children is a rural, smoke-free facility in San Diego, California offering PHP/day treatment for individuals with bipolar disorder. It is set up to serve military families, a population it supports as one of just 11 facilities among 115 nearby that report doing so, and it includes family visitation as part of its structure.

The center accepts TRICARE and lists military-related payment options, placing it among a smaller group of about 40 area facilities that take this coverage. Its combination of day treatment for bipolar disorder and accommodations for military families and their visits makes it a distinct option for families connected to military service who are looking for structured, non-residential care.
