The Bay Area Addiction Research and Treatment (BAART) has been awarded a grant from the State Opioid Response, often known as SOR-2. Using methadone or buprenorphine in conjunction with therapy, BAART provides medication-assisted treatment for substance abuse disorders.

Anyone 18 years of age or older with a valid picture ID and proof of opioid addiction is eligible to be admitted to the facility.
