Partnering with BAART Programs to Improve Patient Outcomes in Opioid Use Disorder Care

Across hospitals, primary care networks, OB/GYN practices, and urgent care settings, clinicians are often the first to recognize when a patient is struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD). BAART Programs partners with medical providers to ensure those patients receive timely, evidence-based treatment that stabilizes health, reduces risk, and enhances long-term recovery.

For more than four decades, BAART has delivered comprehensive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using methadone or buprenorphine—combined with counseling, case management, and wraparound support. By working with our team, you can confidently connect patients to a trusted resource that integrates seamlessly with your existing care model and helps improve overall clinical outcomes.
