About Gaudenzia

Gaudenzia’s Dresher, Pennsylvania, location is part of a long-running treatment network that has worked with people facing substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions for more than 57 years. Their focus is long-term recovery, using evidence-based care matched to each person’s clinical needs, whatever their circumstances. Across the network, levels of care include crisis stabilization, medically supervised detox and withdrawal management, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient services, with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) available as an option.

Residential stays vary in length based on clinical assessment and include individual and group counseling, educational programming, and, at some sites, co-occurring mental health support and integrated medical care. Detox provides 24-hour oversight with access to medical staff, clinicians, and counselors, then connects clients to next steps such as case management, legal advocacy, housing, transportation, and help with childcare, finances, and employment. Outpatient tracks use ASAM criteria for placement and serve people stepping down from residential care, those entering treatment for the first time, and anyone who needs to keep working or attending school. Specialized programming is available for pregnant and parenting women, adolescents, people involved with the criminal justice system, and those experiencing housing insecurity, and families can join free education and support offerings.
