Gaudenzia Treatment Center originated in the 1960’s by a group of successful business, community leaders and people in recovery. They identified that an increased number of individuals suffering from alcohol and drug addiction were unable to find help. They established a residential treatment program to place people on the pathway to drug-free recovery. Their undertaking was to help individuals and families affected by drug and alcohol dependency, mental illness and related conditions to achieve a better quality of life and become accountable individuals. This would be accomplished through a continuum of care leading to long-term recovery guided by a philosophy of mutual concern, personal responsibility, research and community education.
