About

About Western Health Harbor City Clinic

Western Health Harbor City Clinic operates out of 1647 West Anaheim Street in Harbor City, a community within the City of Los Angeles in the South Bay. SAMHSA lists the program as a substance-use treatment facility certified as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), which is the federal designation required to dispense methadone for opioid use disorder. As an OTP, the clinic provides medication-assisted treatment paired with required counseling services on an outpatient schedule that allows clients to maintain employment, school and family obligations.

The clinic is part of Los Angeles County’s network of community OTPs serving residents of Harbor City, Wilmington, San Pedro, Lomita, Torrance and the broader South Bay. Because methadone treatment requires daily dosing in the early phase of care, the local accessibility of the program is significant for clients without reliable transportation or who need to attend before work. Counseling supports relapse prevention, recovery planning and management of co-occurring conditions when present, with referrals out for mental-health or medical needs beyond the clinic’s scope.

Adults and young adults aged 18-25 make up the population served. SAMHSA records list services available in English and Japanese, an unusual capability that reflects the South Bay’s diverse community. Pregnant women with opioid use disorder are commonly served by certified OTPs under federal guidelines, and prospective clients should call the clinic directly to confirm current intake practices.

Payment options recorded for the program include Medi-Cal (California Medicaid), Medicare, self-pay and a sliding-scale fee schedule based on ability to pay. Because dosing schedules and counseling frequency are determined by federal OTP rules, prospective clients should expect to attend the clinic frequently early in treatment, with take-home doses earned over time as clinical stability is demonstrated.
