American Health Services LLC – Bakersfield Health Services: Comprehensive Addiction Treatment
American Health Services LLC, located at 1010 1/2 South Union Avenue in Bakersfield, CA, is dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive treatment for individuals struggling with substance use disorder.

Upon admission, a thorough assessment is conducted by our clinical team to determine the most effective combination of services.

Levels of Care Offered
American Health Services offers a range of structured programs designed to support clients at various stages of their recovery journey. We provide continuous support as clients transition from intensive care to greater independence. Our services ensure that clients receive the appropriate level of structure and accountability necessary for successful long-term sobriety.
Outpatient Programs (OP)
The Outpatient Program is ideal for individuals who require ongoing therapeutic support while maintaining their daily responsibilities, such as work or school. This level of care typically involves scheduled therapy sessions throughout the week, offering flexibility while providing necessary clinical intervention and monitoring.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program provides a more structured environment than standard OP, offering several hours of treatment multiple days per week. IOP is suitable for those transitioning out of residential treatment or for individuals needing a high level of support who do not require 24/7 supervision. Focus is placed on intensive skill-building and immediate relapse prevention strategies.
Aftercare and Long-Term Support
Recovery is a lifelong process, and successful treatment extends beyond the formal program structure. We emphasize the development of robust aftercare plans to ensure continuity of care. This includes linking clients with community resources, support groups, and alumni services. Our commitment is to empower clients with the tools and connections necessary to sustain sobriety and thrive in their recovered life.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
