About Addiction Research and Treatment Inc (ART)
BAART Programs operates an outpatient Opioid Treatment Program at 1926 West Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, serving residents of Westlake, Echo Park, and the surrounding central Los Angeles neighborhoods. The clinic addresses opioid use disorder through medication-assisted treatment, including methadone, paired with substance use counseling.
SAMHSA records highlight specialty accommodations for pregnant women – one of the more critical patient populations in opioid treatment because of the medical complexity of pregnancy combined with opioid dependence. The clinic also supports medical detoxification within the outpatient framework. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a documented clinical modality, and telehealth options are available for eligible visits.
The Beverly Boulevard location is CARF-accredited, an indicator of meeting national behavioral-health standards. Medical leadership across the BAART network includes Sergio Huerta, MD, FASAM, and Peter Kassis, MD, FASAM, as medical reviewers, with Jason Kletter, Ph.D., as executive head of the organization. Accepted payment is broad: Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state-financed insurance, self-pay, and a sliding-scale option that can support uninsured or income-limited patients.
Los Angeles County BAART access is supported by multiple regional clinics, including locations in Beverly, La Puente, Lynwood, Southeast LA, and Sun Valley, plus the Beverly Boulevard site, giving patients alternatives across the metro area. Phone: 213-353-1140.
