American Habitare and Counseling Inc

American Habitare & Counseling, Inc. was founded in January 1998 in Newark, New Jersey. It took two and half years of relentless efforts by the owner of the program, Ms. Anita Khawaja to obtain a state license to operate an outpatient methadone maintenance and detoxification treatment facility. Since 1996, the desire to open an outpatient maintenance and detoxification center was made to serve the inner city population of Newark as documentation showed that the drug epidemic had reached the Newark area, as in other urban areas, and treatment services were desperately needed.
