About BAART Programs

BAART Programs Newport is an outpatient opioid treatment clinic in Newport, Vermont, serving people struggling with fentanyl, heroin, and prescription painkillers. Their care centers on medication-assisted treatment, pairing methadone or buprenorphine with counseling and practical support so patients can stabilize while keeping up with work and family life. Getting started can happen quickly: new patients complete an on-site telehealth evaluation with a certified opioid treatment provider and can often begin treatment the same day. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most private insurance, participate in the VA Community Care Network with prior authorization, and can help Medicaid patients arrange transportation.

Methadone is dosed daily under supervision, with take-home doses earned over time as patients stabilize. For those who need a lighter touch, the clinic also runs an office-based buprenorphine program (OBOT) using either a daily sublingual dose or a long-acting injection, with prescriptions filled at a local pharmacy; it can serve as a step-down from more intensive care or an alternative for current methadone patients. Individual and group counseling focus on coping skills, decision-making, and relapse prevention, alongside medical check-ups, treatment planning, specialized support for pregnant patients, and connections to community resources. Ongoing support after treatment and guest medication services for patients who travel round out the program, and all BAART locations hold CARF accreditation.
