Gaudenzia, Inc

Our History
Gaudenzia was founded in 1968 by a conscientious group of community members who wanted to help themselves and each other overcome the challenges of drug and alcohol use. They soon learned that a collective group was much stronger than an individual, struggling alone.

Over the next 53 years, Gaudenzia began serving those in need of treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders, becoming one of the nation’s first providers with programs designed to meet the needs of pregnant and parenting women, populations affected by HIV/AIDS, and individuals with criminal justice involvement.

Today, Gaudenzia is one of the largest non-profit substance use and co-occurring disorders treatment providers in the northeast United States, serving Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and the Washington, D.C. areas.  

Our Mission
Gaudenzia’s mission is to promote long-term recovery by providing comprehensive treatment and support to people with substance use disorder, co-occurring mental health disorders, and related conditions, regardless of individual circumstances.
