Funded through a combination of federal, state and city contracts, third party insurance reimbursements, fees, foundation grants, corporate gifts and private donations, the Gavin Foundation has continued to grow as the need for services has increased. Today, they operate more than a dozen nonprofit programs that focus on providing a continuum of care to individuals with substance use disorders. The Gavin Foundation serves traditional adult populations, while also providing special programs for criminal justice offenders and adolescents.



PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION

Prevention and intervention programs include school and community educational outreach, overdose prevention training, and positive sport and recreation activities for adolescents.

Youth programs include school-based education and counseling services for Boston Public School students who traditionally have not had access to them.

TREATMENT AND RECOVERY



Treatment programs vary in nature, from residential to outpatient, clinical support services (CSS) and/or transitional support services (TSS). Recovery programs include recovery homes and a large-spectrum of recovery services such as ongoing behavioral therapy, foundation run recovery centers and programing, Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT), peer based recovery support, counseling, case management services, and employment assistance.
