About Gaudenzia Inc

Gaudenzia Inc in West Chester, Pennsylvania, is part of Gaudenzia’s larger network of addiction treatment programs, an organization with more than 57 years of experience helping people recover from substance use. They treat substance use disorder along with co-occurring mental health conditions, with a stated commitment to affordable care for people regardless of their circumstances. Across the network, levels of care include crisis stabilization, detox and withdrawal management, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient programs. Each person receives an assessment to match them with the right level of care, and outpatient services can serve as a first step into treatment, a step down after residential care, or a way to keep working or attending school.

Treatment plans are individualized and built around evidence-based approaches, combining individual and group counseling, medication-assisted treatment as an option, and educational programming, with integrated medical care and co-occurring mental health support available at some locations. Detox programs provide 24-hour oversight with round-the-clock access to medical staff, clinicians, and counselors, then connect clients to next steps such as residential care, case management, legal advocacy, transportation, and help with childcare, finances, and employment. Gaudenzia also runs programs for specific groups, including men, women, pregnant and parenting women, women with children, adolescents, people involved in the criminal justice system, and those facing housing insecurity. Families can access free education and support, and the organization offers overdose prevention services and transitional and affordable housing options.
