Sobering Center Moves to Burlingame | San Francisco News

San Mateo County supervisors are pushing ahead with a new sobering center in Burlingame, after facing fierce opposition to the original San Mateo site near a school. With a key 14-bed facility shuttered last year, the need for immediate behavioral health support is urgent. Horizon Treatment Services, leading the effort, seeks staff-led lease negotiations to secure the Mahler Road location — despite criticism over transit access and commercial proximity near the airport. Hoteliers nearby also voiced frustration over lack of communication. While the Burlingame site adds $500K in construction costs, county officials acknowledge public demand for critical services and plan to review funding options later. Staff will draft the lease for board approval in the next meeting — a vital step to bring this essential recovery resource to life.
