About Addiction Services and Pharmacotherapy
Addiction Services and Pharmacotherapy (ASAP) operates an outpatient medication-assisted treatment clinic at 210 East Olin Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin, in Dane County. The Madison location is part of a small statewide footprint that also includes clinics in West Allis (Milwaukee area) and Kenosha, allowing ASAP to serve patients across southeastern and south-central Wisconsin.
Clinically, ASAP is structured around medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, offering methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), and naltrexone (Vivitrol) maintenance paired with on-site counseling. The program emphasizes evidence-based care delivered safely, effectively, and without discrimination, and explicitly welcomes patients regardless of gender, age, race, religion, ethnicity, marital status, veteran status, disability, HIV status, or sexual identity. SAMHSA listings reflect federally certified Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) status and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a clinical modality.
ASAP serves a broad range of populations, including veterans, pregnant women, young adults, older adults, court-ordered patients, and people living with HIV/AIDS. Trauma-related and dual-diagnosis conditions are addressed within the outpatient framework. Accepted payment includes Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state-financed insurance, and self-pay, and the program is accredited by CARF.
Madison dosing begins early – Monday through Friday from 5:00 am to 1:00 pm, with weekend dosing windows. The clinic is led by physicians Dr. Vernon Partello, MD, and Dr. Christopher Harkin, MD, and can be reached at (608) 807-1428. Email inquiries are not the primary intake path; calling the clinic is the most direct way to start treatment.
