Who We Serve:

About the Program: We believe recovery starts from within, and that our job is to do whatever it takes to provide the support needed on your recovery journey in a comfortable, structured setting. Our secure 16-bed facility includes a full team of nurses, a psychiatrist, clinicians, peer specialists, and recovery specialists providing support 24 hours a day.

For a long time, residents of Ventura County requiring longer-term recovery services in a secure setting have had to be placed outside of the county, far from their loved ones and the environment they know.

Horizon View MHRC was created to bring people home, closer to their friends and families. The environment is homelike, where residents partner with staff in rediscovering their hopes and dreams, and take the steps toward increased independence and self-sufficiency.

Through a variety of therapies, groups, social and recreational activities, and conversations with staff trained in the Recovery Centered Clinical System (RCCS) approach, residents develop hope and belief in themselves, and the skills to better manage their symptoms and develop lives with meaning and connections.
