Rooted in a multicultural mission UPAC prioritizes culture, ethnic identity and community context to support underserved, diverse and vulnerable populations on their path to recovery.

Culturally Responsive Treatment

UPAC also offers non-methadone Medically Assisted Treatment using FDA-approved medications and on-site ambulatory withdrawal management to support early recovery and long-term healing.

Age-Specific Recovery

UPAC builds a continuum of care across generations including the Teen Recovery Center for adolescents ages 12 to 17 and their families.

Expanding Horizons is an outpatient substance use program for transition-age youth ages 18 to 25 and helps young adults navigate recovery with peer support, housing navigation and prosocial activities.
