Top Burlingame Drug and Alcohol Addiction Centers

Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in Burlingame, CA

Burlingame sits on the San Francisco Peninsula immediately south of the airport, between the bay and the hills.

The town was named for Anson Burlingame, an American diplomat to China, and incorporated in 1908 after refugees from the San Francisco earthquake settled here.

It calls itself the City of Trees; the eucalyptus along El Camino Real were planted in the 1870s and form one of the oldest such plantings in the state. Burlingame Avenue remains an intact early twentieth-century main street.

Highway 101 and Interstate 280 both run past, putting San Francisco twenty minutes north and Palo Alto twenty minutes south.

California recorded a drug overdose death rate roughly 6 percent below the national figure in 2024.

Methamphetamine was involved in around 57 percent of California overdose deaths that year, more than any other substance, while fentanyl drives the opioid share.

County rates in 2024 ranged from 11.3 per 100,000 in Napa County to 91.5 in Lake County, both in Northern California.

San Mateo County participates in the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System, live since February 2017, which covers a full continuum of care assessed against American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria.
