Gaudenzia has been helping people help themselves for nearly 50 years by operating more than 150 substance abuse treatment programs in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. We never refuse to treat someone because of his or her inability to pay. This organization was founded on never giving up on people, with humble beginnings in a commune on Long Island, to now being the largest nonprofit provider of drug and alcohol addiction services in Pennsylvania. In addition to helping to save the lives of more than 20,000 people, Gaudenzia pioneered the Therapeutic Community treatment model and is CARF accredited.
