About

About Addiction Research and Treatment Inc

Addiction Research and Treatment Inc is the corporate entity behind BAART Programs, a national network of Opioid Treatment Programs with the La Puente clinic at 15229 Amar Road in Los Angeles County. The location is one of more than 60 BAART clinics across 11 states and operates as a CARF-accredited outpatient program focused exclusively on opioid use disorder.

Services center on Medication-Assisted Treatment using methadone and buprenorphine, combined with structured substance use counseling, individual sessions, group work, and coordinated community healthcare. Pregnant patients receive coordinated MAT consistent with ACOG and SAMHSA guidance, and the program partners with judicial agencies for court-referred clients. The La Puente clinic is part of a Los Angeles Area cluster that also includes Beverly, Lynwood, Southeast, and Sun Valley locations, giving patients flexibility to dose at sister sites when needed.

Leadership for the network includes Jason Kletter, Ph.D., with operational direction from Patrice Oliver, RN (Vice President of Nursing Services) and Emily Cole, LPC-S (Vice President of Counseling Services). The medical reviewer team includes Sergio Huerta, MD, FASAM and Peter Kassis, MD, FASAM, both certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine. This medical leadership underwrites BAART’s commitment to evidence-based, ASAM-aligned MAT protocols.

The La Puente clinic accepts Medicaid (Medi-Cal), Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, sliding-scale self-pay, and other community coverage. Care is delivered in English, with admissions handled through the clinic directly. As an outpatient OTP, BAART does not provide residential rehab or hospital-based detox; patients live at home and visit the clinic for medication and counseling on a structured schedule.
