About American Habitare and Counseling

American Habitare and Counseling treats substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. They offer day treatment, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient programs. The center allows for immediate access to care by welcoming walk-ins and maintaining no waitlist, ensuring that individuals can start their recovery journey without unnecessary delays.
Personalized treatment is developed for each patient based on their unique strengths and needs. By using evidence-based approaches such as 1-on-1 counseling, group therapy, and skill-building workshops, patients are empowered to address the root causes of their addiction. These therapies provide the essential tools and support needed to build a foundation for lasting wellness and sobriety.
The center provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, which combines FDA-approved medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone with behavioral therapies. They also run fee-for-service programs for individuals involved with the justice system, including drug court and parole services. American Habitare and Counseling offers these services in both English and Spanish to provide care that is both accessible and culturally responsive for the community.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like American Habitare and Counseling provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
