About Horizon Services, Inc. – Palm Avenue Detox
Palm Avenue Detox is a boutique-style, clinically managed 22-bed inpatient detox facility in San Mateo, California. This is a non-medical detox program and as such doesn’t involve 24/7 physician support. Clients requiring withdrawal meds or other medical services are referred to the appropriate partner services within the county.
Being part of Horizon Treatment Services also means that, following detox, you can seamlessly transition into continued care and recovery support within the same trusted network. The program is Medi-Cal approved and accredited by CARF indicating a commitment to ensuring quality care that meets rigorous standards.
Supportive and Safe Start to Recovery
Most people begin their recovery journey with detox or withdrawal management. This lets your body safely clear substances, easing physical dependence so you can start healing with a clear mind and a stronger foundation. They boast an interdisciplinary team of compassionate care professionals that’ll ensure you’re not alone when taking this important step.
You’ll be thoroughly screened by a clinician during intake to assess medical necessity and safety. These experts will rigorously monitor you so that withdrawal symptoms do not pose a medical risk. This monitoring involves routine assessment of your vital signs and other risk factors to ensure your withdrawal is safe and comfortable.
Despite being a non-medical detox program, the program is coordinated by physicians. You’ll receive highly nutritious meals to rebuild strength, therapy to support emotional wellbeing and rest to aid healing.
Inclusive and Supportive Treatment Services
Their services are inclusive with treatment available for men and women including trans and nonbinary adults experiencing substance use disorders or co-occurring conditions. The staff members will provide you with safe and non-judgmental care that caters to your specific needs.
The average length of stay is typically five days or but it may be longer if medically necessary. Once you stabilize, the care team will help you transition to the next level of care based on your tailored discharge plans.
