AARS is dedicated to reducing the impact and incidence of substance use in the Bay Area. Our programs serve youth, adults, and families, and are located in San Francisco, Santa Clara, and Santa Clara counties.

AARS offers an array of programs and services throughout the Bay Area, each tailored to meet the needs of our clients. Our culturally oriented, gender-responsive approaches are delivered by multicultural and multilingual staff who are a part of the communities they serve. AARS programs offer:

AARS partners with government agencies, community-based and ethnic-specific organizations to strengthen the support networks available to clients and to engage in research and advocacy. We offer culturally-tailored community-building activities that motivate the populations we serve to be resilient and healthy. For service locations and contact information, see our program descriptions.

AARS was established in 1985 through the community-wide grassroots efforts of the Asian American Substance Abuse Task Force, which was formed in response to the rising substance use rates among San Francisco's Asian and Pacific Islander population. Today, we offer an array services to the Bay Area's ethnically diverse populations. Created to provide culturally-responsive substance use disorder treatment programs, AARS continued to adapt to meet community needs, joining the HealthRIGHT 360 family of programs in 2013.
