The development of the 69-bed Horizon Recovery Center is backed by a $25.5 million grant from the California Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program. By integrating diverse recovery services, the center aims to modernize care options for residents struggling with substance use disorders. CEO Jaime Campos emphasized that the facility's design is central to patient outcomes, noting that the added capacity represents a significant shift in how the county manages behavioral health.

With the financial framework established by the state and the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, the project is moving into the pre-development stage. This phase includes finalizing design drawings and conducting community outreach. Horizon Services, a non-profit agency operating in the Bay Area since 1976, intends to host virtual office hours to engage Burlingame residents and local stakeholders as construction plans progress.
