About Addiction Services and Pharmacotherapy
Addiction Services and Pharmacotherapy, known as ASAP, runs the Kenosha clinic at 3825 39th Avenue, Suite 120, serving southeastern Wisconsin patients who need a structured outpatient program for opioid use disorder. The clinic is one of three ASAP locations in Wisconsin and focuses on full-service medication-assisted treatment built around methadone, Suboxone (buprenorphine), and Vivitrol (naltrexone), supported by individual counseling and group therapy.
The Kenosha team uses an evidence-based pharmacotherapy model. After intake and a medical assessment, patients are matched with the medication that best fits their use history, health needs, and recovery goals. Medication dosing happens onsite under clinical supervision, while counselors work with patients on the behavioral side of recovery through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, relapse prevention, and addiction education. Drug testing is integrated into care as a clinical tool, not a punishment, so the team can adjust treatment in real time.
ASAP’s mission emphasizes nondiscrimination: motivated individuals are welcomed regardless of gender, age, race, religion, ethnicity, veteran status, disability, HIV status, or sexual identity. The Kenosha clinic specifically serves pregnant women, older adults, men, and women, and coordinates with outside providers to maintain continuity of care when patients are also seeing primary care doctors, OB providers, or mental health clinicians.
The clinic is CARF accredited and federally designated as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), with medical oversight from physicians Dr. Vernon Partello and Dr. Christopher Harkin. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, commercial insurance, and self-pay, keeping the program accessible to a broad segment of Kenosha County residents seeking sustained recovery from heroin, fentanyl, or prescription opioid dependence.
