Project Eden A Program of Horizon Services

Project Eden A Program of Horizon Services, based in Hayward, CA, is one of the SAMHSA-registered treatment programs operating in CA. The facility's programming is outpatient (Outpatient, Dual Dx), not residential. What this page can help with is the frame — what to ask, what to verify, what to compare against.

Care levels at Project Eden A Program of Horizon Services

The care-level question matters because what a facility offers is what it can realistically treat well. Project Eden A Program of Horizon Services is an outpatient-focused program (Outpatient, Dual Dx) — patients live at home or in sober living and attend treatment sessions. This level of care is clinically appropriate for mild-to-moderate substance use disorder, or for patients stepping down from residential. Before admission, an independent clinical assessment (from a primary-care doctor, licensed substance-use counselor, or addiction-medicine physician) can confirm whether Project Eden A Program of Horizon Services's offerings match the clinical need.

Insurance and payment

Project Eden A Program of Horizon Services accepts Medicaid — which is consequential because facilities that accept Medicaid tend to have the broadest patient populations and the most developed public-sector relationships, though reimbursement structures mean program intensity sometimes differs from commercial-focused centers. What tends to produce post-admission financial surprise is not the facility being out of network — it is the verbal assurance that did not make it into writing. Ask for the written VOB before admission, save the email, and the rest of the financial conversation becomes a lot simpler.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Adolescents, Young adults, Criminal justice (other than DUI/DWI)/Forensic clients. If that matches what you or your family member need, great — and worth asking specifically about what the programming looks like day-to-day (how many hours per week of specialty-specific content, who leads it, what credentials they hold).

Before you call

Three questions to put to Project Eden A Program of Horizon Services before admission: the specific ASAM level the facility is billing; the written Verification of Benefits for your specific plan product; the MAT policy (continuation of buprenorphine or methadone during residential, specifically). If the clinical situation involves opioid use disorder, confirm explicitly whether Project Eden A Program of Horizon Services offers medication-assisted treatment — buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. Programs that do not are operating outside the current standard of care. Getting answers in writing protects against the downstream surprises.
