This kind of feedback means everything. 🖤

This client’s words speak volumes about the heart and dedication our counselors bring to the work. Behind every group session, every handout, every thoughtful question, there’s a commitment to helping people feel seen, supported, and truly valued.

Big problems get smaller when the people closest to them lead the fix.

In our newest podcast episode, we’re diving into how a long-standing issue, medication errors in residential and withdrawal management, was reduced from 55 to just four in a month.

How? A relationship-first framework. Rapid testing. And most importantly — staff voice.

We sat down with NIATx consultant Matt Russo, along with Horizon leaders Jamie and Gina, to unpack the small but powerful changes that made a big impact. From building cross-functional teams to using tech like ObservSmart, this conversation is full of insights for anyone working in behavioral health, quality improvement, or just trying to make systems work better for people.

🎧 If you care about safer care, cleaner data, and a team that feels real ownership, this one’s for you.

And let us know: what’s one small test you’re trying this month?

10/25/2025

Recovery isn’t always a straight path. It might take a few tries. It might take years. But what matters most is that when someone is ready, the support is still there.

These are the words of people who have walked through that door — many after facing homelessness, trauma, or deep loss. They needed connection, patience, and people who saw their potential even when they couldn’t.

That’s what we offer every day at Horizon. A space to return to. A team that listens. And the belief that hope is never out of reach. 🖤

Imagine showing up to a healthcare facility, signing forms, and nodding through instructions without fully understanding what’s being said or what’s about to happen...

That’s the reality for many patients navigating care in a language or system that doesn’t reflect their lived experience. And it’s exactly why Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) matter.

In Episode 4 of our podcast, Jen Slusser-MacTernan sits down with addiction therapist and author Roland Williams for a powerful conversation on what it really means to offer inclusive, equitable care. From addressing privilege and bias to improving communication across cultural and linguistic differences, this episode is a must-listen for anyone working in healthcare or human services.

Because when patients feel understood, they’re more likely to engage in care. And when providers listen and learn, outcomes improve.

Listen to Episode 4 now to explore how CLAS standards can help us build a more equitable future for care.

We’re thrilled to welcome Derya Ozes as our new Chief Program Officer at Horizon Treatment Services! 💙

Derya brings a powerful blend of scientific curiosity, clinical expertise, and purpose-driven leadership to this role. Her journey began in cancer research, but it was witnessing the ripple effects of unaddressed mental health needs that led her to the behavioral health field — and ultimately to us.

With deep experience overseeing residential care, school- and community-based programs, and large-scale nonprofit operations, Derya is passionate about helping people and teams realize their full potential while serving communities in need.

Her leadership is informed by a rare mix of systems thinking and heart, and we’re excited for the insight, compassion, and vision she brings to Horizon.

Welcome, Derya!

At Cherry Hill Detox, we hear this a lot, and we never take it for granted. 💙

Our team shows up every day not just to do a job, but to meet people at one of the most difficult points in their lives with respect, empathy, and genuine support.

Detox can be overwhelming, especially in the early days of recovery. But when someone feels seen, heard, and treated with dignity, it can make all the difference.

To our staff: thank you for the compassion you bring into every interaction. To our clients: thank you for your courage. You remind us every day why this work matters. 😊

13,475,779.

That’s how many opioid prescriptions were written in California in 2023 alone.

It’s a staggering number and a reminder of just how much we’re still up against when it comes to substance use, chronic pain management, and addiction.

Behind every prescription is a story. Sometimes it’s a person recovering from surgery. Sometimes it’s someone living with pain and few options. And too often, it’s the beginning of a struggle they never saw coming.

At Horizon, we don’t point fingers. We meet people where they are with care, education, and support that addresses the full picture.

A new chapter for Horizon begins! 🎉

On October 9, 2025, we officially opened the doors to Gateway Medical Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico—our first out-of-state location and a major milestone as we expand nationally.

Gateway Sobering Center is a valuable addition to the community services for the city of Albuquerque. This center currently supports and takes referrals from ACS, EMS (pending), and local community support services.

If you’re in Albuquerque or know someone who is, help us spread the word! 🗣️

Sometimes, hope starts with a conversation. A safe space. A second chance.

At Horizon Treatment Services, we know that healing takes time and that the first step can be the hardest. That’s why we meet people with compassion, not judgment.

Whether someone walks through our doors for detox, outpatient care, residential treatment, or prevention services, we’re here to listen, support, and walk alongside them — wherever they are in their journey.

Hope starts here, at Horizon. 🌅

Throwing it back to the Davis Street Fair this summer! Community outreach (and Stormtroopers) never go out of style. 😉

In August, we had a great time connecting with folks at the Davis Street Fair, sharing resources, meeting new faces, and spreading a little hope (and swag) along the way.

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by the Horizon booth, grabbed some info, or just said hello!

Andre’s story reminds us what’s possible when care, connection, and opportunity come together. 💙

After facing his own challenges with substance use and homelessness, Andre found support at Horizon. Today, he’s 18 months sober, living independently, and working as part of our team, helping others begin their own journeys.

Hope doesn’t just show up in big moments. It’s built every day, in small conversations, quiet milestones, and people who don’t give up on each other.

We give hope every day. And people like Andre carry it forward.
