Being addicted to heroin, painkillers or other opiates is a frightening experience; the loss of control and damage done to lives and relationships can seem insurmountable. At the HAART Oakland, we believe that every person has the potential to succeed and live a life free from the fear, dope sickness and cravings that rule the lives of the addicted. Our treatment uses positive regard for one another and mutual respect as cornerstones to help people shape stable, drug-free lives. We recognize that opiate dependency can also involve a complex combination of other addictions and mental health issues. Our approach brings together medical care with professional counseling to address all aspects of each individual’s opiate dependency.
