The Gavin Foundation operates more than a dozen programs independently or in collaboration with other agencies. We recognize that youth affected by drug and alcohol use face special challenges in building their recovery capacity. Their substance misuse undermines adolescent and young adult tasks of building support networks, defining values which guide life choices, and taking on greater responsibilities for self-care. Family relationships are damaged and educational losses undermine employment opportunities. We offer specialized adolescent, community, educational and diversion programs to respond to these needs.
