Addiction Research and Treatment Inc (ART)

ART's outpatient program builds recovery foundations through medication-assisted treatment combined with ongoing substance use counseling. This approach supports individuals transitioning from acute treatment phases into sustained recovery, addressing both the medical and psychological aspects of opioid use disorder.

The facility operates Monday through Friday from 6-8:45 AM and 9:30 AM-12 PM, with weekend hours on Saturday and Sunday from 7:30-10 AM. This schedule accommodates working professionals and family caregivers while maintaining consistent treatment engagement essential for long-term success.

ART welcomes an exceptionally broad range of community members, from veterans utilizing TRICARE benefits to pregnant women requiring specialized care. The program actively serves young adults (18-25) alongside seniors, recognizing that opioid addiction impacts all age groups within Oakland's community.

Specialized support extends to deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, those living with HIV/AIDS, and people managing trauma or PTSD alongside their addiction. Court-ordered participants receive the same quality care as voluntary clients, fostering a recovery community built on mutual support rather than treatment circumstances.

Understanding that financial barriers can prevent recovery access, ART accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and state insurance plans. Veterans benefit from TRICARE acceptance, while sliding scale fees ensure uninsured community members can access treatment regardless of financial circumstances.

This comprehensive payment approach reflects the facility's commitment to serving Oakland's economic diversity, ensuring that insurance status doesn't determine recovery opportunities. Self-pay options provide additional flexibility for individuals preferring private treatment arrangements.

CARF accreditation demonstrates ART's commitment to clinical excellence, while Opioid Treatment Program certification ensures specialized expertise in medication-assisted treatment protocols. The facility's medical team includes board-certified addiction medicine specialists providing ongoing clinical oversight.

Located on International Boulevard, ART integrates seamlessly into Oakland's community fabric. Aftercare support includes continued substance use counseling and community healthcare connections, ensuring individuals maintain recovery support as they rebuild their lives within the broader Bay Area recovery community.
