About BAART Community Healthcare Inc
BAART Community Healthcare in Omaha is part of BAART Programs, one of the nation’s largest medication-assisted treatment networks, with clinics in California, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, and Washington. The Omaha clinic at 1941 South 42nd Street, Suite 210, is CARF-accredited and certified by SAMHSA as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), with a clinical scope focused exclusively on adults 18 and older living with opioid use disorder.
The clinical model combines FDA-approved medications including methadone and buprenorphine with individual and group counseling, recognizing that medication alone is insufficient for durable recovery. Patients work with a clinical team that includes physicians, dispensing nurses, and counselors, with personalized treatment planning informing dosing, counseling frequency, and ancillary supports. The BAART approach emphasizes meeting patients where they are: counselors use motivational and cognitive behavioral techniques to help patients address the underlying factors that contributed to opioid misuse, build coping skills, and rebuild stability across the life domains that addiction tends to disrupt.
Leadership at BAART includes Jason Kletter, Ph.D., who leads the broader BAART organization, and operational vice presidents Patrice Oliver, RN, for Nursing Services and Emily Cole, LPC-S, for Counseling Services. The medical review team includes Sergio Huerta, MD, FASAM, and Peter Kassis, MD, FASAM, both bringing American Society of Addiction Medicine credentials to clinical oversight. The combination of national leadership depth and local clinical staff allows the Omaha clinic to deliver consistent, evidence-based care while remaining responsive to Nebraska-specific patient needs.
Financial accessibility is built into the model. The clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, and offers sliding-scale fees for clients without coverage. Telehealth options support flexible engagement, particularly for counseling sessions. Patients seeking to begin treatment can reach the Omaha admissions team to verify insurance, complete an intake assessment, and schedule first-day dosing.
