About BAART Behavioral Health Services Inc

BAART Behavioral Health Services in Lynwood, California, is part of BAART Programs, a national network of outpatient opioid treatment programs focused on helping people recover from opioid use disorder. They treat dependence on heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioids such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, and tramadol, whether use began with a prescription or with street drugs. Care combines medication, counseling, and practical support in an outpatient setting, so patients can keep working, attending school, and caring for their families. BAART centers are CARF-accredited and accept most private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid, and veterans may qualify for care through the VA Community Care Network with prior authorization.

Medication-assisted treatment uses methadone or buprenorphine, and providers help each patient choose the option that fits their medical history and goals. Treatment moves through induction, stabilization, and maintenance, starting with a two- to three-hour first visit that includes a medical assessment, screenings, an initial dose when appropriate, and a first counseling session. Daily clinic visits are typical early on, and take-home doses can be earned as patients become more stable. Individual, group, and family counseling focus on triggers, stress, relapse prevention, and repairing relationships, and patients don’t need to be fully abstinent to begin. Additional support includes case management, prenatal care coordinated with OB providers, referrals for housing, transportation, and employment, and guest dosing for people who need to travel.
