About BAART Programs

For more than 40 years, BAART Programs has helped people take the first step toward recovery from opioid use. We provide outpatient opioid addiction treatment that is safe, caring, and effective so you can focus on what matters most: your life, your goals, and your health. We are here to walk beside you as you take the next step in your recovery journey.

Our Story

BAART Programs started in 1977 in San Francisco with one clinic and one mission: to make high-quality treatment available to everyone who needs it.

Today, we serve communities across the country through more than 30 treatment centers that help people and families find hope and stability. We believe everyone deserves access to care close to home and delivered with respect.

As part of BayMark Health Services, the largest network of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) providers in North America, BAART combines science, compassion, and real support. Our goal is to help you move forward with confidence and care that fits your life.

Our Mission

To provide caring, evidence-based addiction treatment that supports both emotional and physical health. We believe recovery works best when care is personal and focused on each person’s strengths.

Our Vision

That every person seeking substance use recovery can find expert, judgment-free care that restores health, rebuilds relationships, and strengthens communities.

How We Help You Recover

Recovery looks different for everyone. That is why we use a complete approach that includes medical treatment, counseling, and supportive services to meet your unique needs. Our flexible outpatient programs are designed to help you maintain your daily life while focusing on recovery.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

We use FDA-approved medications like methadone and buprenorphine to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, helping you feel stable as you work toward recovery.

Substance Use Counseling and Support

Our licensed counselors help you work through challenges, rebuild relationships, and manage stress. Individual and group sessions create a safe place for growth.

Additional Services

We offer medical assessments, case management, referrals, and education. These services help you stay on track and build long-term success in recovery.
