About American Habitare and Counseling, Inc.

American Habitare and Counseling provides treatment for substance use issues along with mental health conditions that occur at the same time. They offer a range of care options, including day treatment, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient services. The center supports quick entry into treatment by accepting walk-ins and not using a waitlist, helping people begin their recovery sooner without avoidable interruptions.

Treatment plans are tailored to each individual, drawing on their personal strengths and specific needs. The staff uses proven, evidence-based methods such as individual counseling, group therapy, and structured skill-building sessions. Together, these services help clients work toward the underlying causes of addiction while gaining practical tools and support to promote long-term health and sobriety.

American Habitare and Counseling also offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, pairing FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone with behavioral therapies. In addition, they provide fee-for-service options for people involved in the justice system, including services related to drug court and parole. The center delivers care in both English and Spanish, making services more accessible and responsive to the community’s cultural needs.
