Substance Abuse Programs [contact]
Bayview Substance Abuse Services offers programs to adults aged 18 or older who cannot cease the use of heroin without medical assistance and those who are at-risk for HIV infection. While our program targets the African American community and those who reside in the Southeast sector of San Francisco, our services are available to all cultural and ethnic groups of San Francisco. It is the goal of the Bayview Hunters Point Foundation Substance Abuse Services to provide comprehensive treatment to our clients and the community at large. We are resourceful in meeting clients’ needs and treating our clients with compassion and respect. We educate clients on substance abuse, prevention and recovery so they can live a more positive and productive lifestyle. Our services include methadone maintenance and detoxification, individual and group counseling, jail dosing services, and HIV/AIDS emotional support. Methadone Maintenance Program Provides methadone and counseling on a long-term basis to those who are unable to cease the use of heroin without medical assistance and to heroin abusers who are at-risk for HIV infection. Detoxification Program Provides methadone and counseling to heroin abusers at-risk for HIV infection for a period of up to 6 months. Methadone dosages taper according to individual treatment schedules. AIDS Emotional Support Unit Provides clients and family members with assessments, case management, referrals, and practical assistance such as food, clothing and transportation. Jail Courtesy Dosing Services Provides methadone treatment to incarcerated heroin abusers who are already registered in a narcotic treatment program. Bayview Bridge to Recovery Program Provides methadone treatment and counseling to incarcerated clients in San Francisco city jails who are not currently registered in a narcotic treatment program and who are experiencing opiate withdrawals. |
