Horizon Treatment Services is set to expand its service offerings by moving forward with the development of a new 69-bed Recovery Center (HRC) located at 826 Mahler Road in Burlingame, California. This initiative comes after receiving crucial approvals from the California Department of Health Care Services for reallocating state funding and getting the green light from the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, which has committed to providing a local matching grant of $2.5 million.
The project is expected to be bolstered by a significant grant of $25.5 million awarded through the state’s Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP). This funding will enable the center to integrate various services, including sobering, withdrawal management, and residential treatment, all under one roof. This comprehensive approach is designed to enhance access to medically supervised treatment for individuals battling substance use disorders, serving the residents of San Mateo County in an effective and supportive environment.
"Access to treatment is half the battle, and adding 69 beds of integrated treatment capacity will surely be a big step forward for San Mateo County residents," noted Jaime Campos, CEO of Horizon Treatment Services. He emphasized the critical role that quality facilities play in shaping positive health outcomes for patients. By modernizing the treatment infrastructure in the County, Horizon aims to ensure that those in need have access to the best possible care.
The next phase of the HRC project promises to involve increased community engagement and outlines pre-development activities, including the production of design drawings for the new center. Horizon Treatment Services is dedicated to consolidating its partnership with San Mateo County while actively engaging with Burlingame residents and local community stakeholders to ensure that the recovery center meets the needs of the area.
The Horizon Recovery Center marks a significant milestone in the fight against substance use challenges in the Bay Area. Horizon Services, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1976, has been instrumental in providing substance use disorder treatment across various Bay Area communities. Their reach spans multiple counties, providing crucial support to around 15,000 community members each year through various programs including Sobering Centers, Residential Treatment, Detoxification, and Outpatient Counseling.
In addition to direct treatment services, Horizon's preventive programs in schools reach more than 22,000 youths annually, educating them on the risks and protective factors related to substance use. This dual focus on treatment and prevention positions Horizon as a leader in addressing the comprehensive needs of those affected by substance-related issues.
